Series Thread: NLDS - LA Dodgers vs Atlanta Braves

[Chewbaccer]

Why the fuck wouldn't you just go ahead and walk him?

We're down 2-0 to CLayton Kershaw now.

This series won't be a sweep and it's the choking Dodgers.....there's still hope for the Braves to win the series.

When you're outmanned, you're outmanned. And the Dodgers got to game 7 of the WS last season, that ain't choking.

Puig didn’t do anything in series yet. A no brainer to walk Machado.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Anibal might have gave up the 2 run bomb, but he's leading off the second if Freddie makes a half ass attempt on the leadoff double down the line. Down 1-0 in a series, facing Clayton Kershaw, and you couldn't get a run in from third with one out, you had better go all out.

This game was over the second our Face of Franchise 1B decided to be a mental pussy in his 1st AB.

We bucked the trend.....could have been a fluke.....

But I assumed Anibal was pitching around Machado. If you get to 3-0 on a hitter who owns you, don't fuck around, but him on base. No brainer there.

ANd this is the Braves here, it's always worst case scenario. He's not gonna get under it, it's not gonna be an RBI double off the wall, it's gonna be a home run every time. Learn who you are and adjust from there.

It seems they're always in the NLCS. It's tough to win in the playoffs, it's tougher to win a WS.

Ozzie took a pitch. Progress.

Ozzie took a pitch. Progress.

But in typical Ozzie fashion post ASB, he hits a weak popup.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Kershaw 20 pitches through 2...

 

[Chewbaccer]

Way to respond offense. Couldn't even work a count. You just let Clayton Kershaw retire the side on 6 pitches. So much for getting to the bullpen.

 

[Inimical]

Smoking like a G. Game is over. So who is next?

 

[Chewbaccer]

We're gonna get swept and not even score a run the entire series.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Looking like another Blowout. You can say we are young but its our veterans fucking it up tonight.

 

[Mistaken4193]

How the fuck do the Dodgers,Cardinals, and A's always take these nobody players and turn them into All-Stars??

 

[Chewbaccer]

Of course he just misses it. We're the Braves.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Back to back innings Kershaw needs less the 10 pitches to get out of it.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Got my hopes up twice in that inning only to have them come crashing down. Thought Sanchez had a single up the middle, and then thought Acuna had a home run. But the first was just a soft squibb shot with weird spin and the second was just missed.

 

[Chewbaccer]

We're gonna have to start playing dirty here. I mean, you might get ejected, suspended and fined for tackling the first baseman at the bag on a groundout, but he'll have it in the back of his mind and be jumpy the rest of the game.
