Maybe the Braves won't let me down like MSU has the last few weeks lol. I honestly don't expect to win this series because the Dodgers are pretty elite, but it's the playoffs so you never know. It'll all come down to how our starters do. If they can get us to our bullpen, then we have a shot.
Chop on!
If Acuna and FF get hot, the braves will be a tough out. Need those two big time
5 good innings at least from our starters(keep us in the game), turn it over to the bullpen and then let the late inning offense go to work.
Got a feeling about the Braves. I hate'm. Might be gas. Dodgers are one of my teams, but I'm seeing some problems outside Bellinger.
Yeah Freddie is going to have to show up in this series.Quote:

Duvall injured. Pache getting his chance on the big stage
Need some insurance. Likely not going to win a 1-0 game.
Love how Joe Buck said the Braves were putting on a pitching clinic, and the next pitch the guy hits a home run.
Jinxed by the announcer there
Can't keep leaving dudes on base. 1st and 2nd with nobody out, and the new pitcher comes in and mows us down. Gotta cash in.
Austin Riley!
Riley crushes that ball! Son!
Damn good nlcs with a good mnf going on..... Got 2 TVs in the living room like it's bowl season
Ballgame boys!
I love this team man! Lot of big stones! AUSTIN RILEY!
I desperately want to get the monkey of not being able to beat the Dodgers off our backs. We're one step closer after tonight.
1-0.
What a huge win. Anderson has been very good the first time a team sees him. Hopefully that continues. Awesome night
Great job/ Got to give the bullpen credit, Martin, Smith and Melancon have been great all season.
Braves recipe: starting pitching keep it close, turn it over to bullpen, late inning offense. It's how they roll!
Braves up on the Dodgers 6-0 in the 6th. Playing with their hair on fire
(Trying not to notice. Trying not to get hopes up. Trying not to think about how good the pitching and hitting have been. Trying not to think about the Braves bringing home a WS). Braves are playing? Who knew?***
They looking good. Young, aggressive and got some swag, and some dang good pitching and lockdown defense.
And then hello AJ Minter.Quote:

Tomlin striking out a hitter on 3-2 85 mph fastball right down the middle 😂. Must've looked like a basketball coming up there but Taylor fell down swinging at it!
Get Melanconn warming up
Fing AJ and Tomlin. Would rather have seen Smith or Mel.
Well damn
Thank you Austin Riley.
Closer than they wanted
Well the Dodgers will tag you if you make mistakes.Wright is going to have to give us 7-8 innings. Game 4 pitcher is up in the Air.Quote:

Lot of talk about the dodgers bats getting goin late and that carrying over for the rest of the series...and it may. But having been a part of a lot of those type of falling just short comebacks, I will say that that takes a lot out of a team emotionally and if the Braves can pull it out tomorrow they may fold up shop. Similar to if the Braves would have blown it tonite. The emotion in these long series, especially with no off days, can be extremely exhausting. And the dodgers are now like the 90s Braves where a ?here we go again? mentality could start to sneak in.
Or they could come out raging tomorrow and win the next 4...that?s baseball
Boom, great minds think alike. Coming up short takes a lot out of you, and as Earl Weaver used to say momentum is tomorrows starting pitcher. Greatest game in the world!Quote:
