Oh I know but I would prefer if we could go with Strider and win game 3 before Morton pitches, so we'd be up 2-1, but best laid plans and all that. Charley just scares me with all the gopher balls he gives up. He's good for 2 a gameQuote:

I don't think we can start him in game 3.
Yeah we really need Strider back. Makes you almost wish you'd started Charley for one game in Atlanta. He's no good at philly.Quote:

We're kinda of in a bind right now. Morton has not been good, Odorizzi has been mediocre at best. We really need Strider but he may not be available, and Strider has owned the phillies.Quote:

This makes me feel a little better. If we make sure to take him out at first sign of trouble after 4 ip, he should be ok.
What happened to Ian Anderson?????
Lost control and was sent down at the break. He got injured, and he's out till 2023. Wouldn't surprise me if he's done as a braveQuote:

Heck I'd almost rather see Bryce Elder(I know he's not on the postseason roster) than Morton or Odorizzi. His sinker would play well in that little ball park. I just don't trust Charley or Odorizzi at this point, but hey maybe playoff Charley will show up because he has a history of being a money pitcher.Quote:

Morton is awesome, met him a couple of times, he is one of the most down to earth and genuine people you will meet. Glad Houston got him back on track, I hated to lose him. Hope he has a great game. Will always be a fan of him no matter what team he is on. Perseverance and strength of character will take you a long way in baseball and life.Quote:

Two Braves farm hands I wish we had been able to have their whole careers - Morton and Wainwright. I'm still bitter about that Wano tradeQuote:

Between him, Darius Slay and his Coastal Outreach Soccer program (yes you read that right, soccer), and Davis Love, we have some great athlete role models for the communityQuote:

I saw that too. Man he was so dominant with that split finger in the late 70's to early 80's. RIP, Bruce. Childhood memories come flooding back every time one of these guys from that era passes.Quote:
