    Opinions, will Charlie Morton absence have a significant impact?

    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.

    Really appreciate everyone?s input. They do have a good team, but my all time favorite Braves are still Dale Murphy and Hank Aaron.
    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.

    And they stand a good chance. If Fried gives us a win tonight, moving back to ATL 2-0 will be a HUGE momentum boost.

    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 him

    Y’all are crazy if you think Braves sweep this series…. Astros have a much deeper pen than the Braves and a better offense. Red Sox thought they had it in the bag too going into Boston.

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

    It will be a full 7 game series I believe. Will be fun to watch.

    Agreed. Love a 7 game series. It's the way it's supposed to be.
