Tonight was great, but curious of your opinions whether his injury will seriously lessen the Braves chances of winning the World Series?
Thanks.

It's gonna hurt. But if the bats keep up like this then we might be ok/ Of course the Red Sox thought the same also. Braves have some weak links in the Pen also.
It's already had a big impact. We had to extend minter, Jackson, and matzek longer than an inning. Really need 6-7 innings from fried tomorrow.
Still think the braves win the series
The team has battled this stuff all year, while it obviously hurts there's no other team equipped to handle this like the Braves. Next man up.
Got at at least a split on the road though and that's huge. Can rest most of them tomorrow and travel day Thursday and have full strength on Friday. Would be great for fried to go 6-7.Quote:

Loved the 80s era team with Dale, Chris Chambliss, Bob Horner, Phil Niekro .... .
Since it's his fibula I wouldn't totally rule him out of this series.
Team has said he is finished.Quote:

MLB allowed a replacement: LH Tucker Davidson. 4 games, 3.6 ERA, 20 IP, 18 SO, WHIP 1.15. He last pitched for the Braves on June 15th against Boston. He went on the 60 day disabled list June 24th, Left forearm inflammation.
Such a strange move. He was ok-to-good when he pitched, but that was a long time ago. I'm guessing we just hope to get thru their lineup once with him bc none of them have saw himQuote:

Yeah I don't see a sweep either. I figure it's gonna be a hard fought series.Quote:

Me too. Want to see nail biters unless of course the Braves are winning big then I can relax lolQuote:

Wright looked solid. Looks a lot like Maton which the Braves will see eventually. Both of them are good young arms with demeanors that don?t look very excited. Seriously, I believe this is going to be one of the best played series this past decade. The Astros are just a tough 3rd out, have been all year. Wish they could start an inning that way. I just don?t understand why you pitch fastballs inside to Altuve. Curve balls all day to Tucker, fastballs away to Bregman and anything spinning to Yuli. Avoid Yordan and throw down in zone to Correa. Do that and Braves win, don?t Astros win.
We've already seen maton twice. You saying he might start a game? He isn't that young, 28. I'm sick of him already holding us scoreless lolQuote:

Maton is an inning eater and a great guy for DPs.
