Braves NLDS roster

It’s typically the morning that game 1 is played IIRC, so I’d expect to see it in the next few hours

Can’t seem to find it even on Braves official website. Does that mean they haven’t released it?

I can name your starting 9.

Lol. Me too. Just curious about pitchers.

I would have left Elder at the house and I’m assuming the only reason Hand made it is for the Phillies lefties. No Jessie but they are putting Daysbel on the team??

Cant leave Elder at home. Hand was expected imo as we need another lefty.

Now where I agree 1000% is leaving Jesse off for Daysbel. If its not injury related than I need some answers Snit.

I don’t know if it came down to Jesse or Daysbel, but he and AJSS both made it because, in the payoffs, velocity plays. Stuff plays. In a high leverage situation, give me the young guy who can throw 96+. You can get away with a 97 mph mistake. A 91 mph mistake gets turned around 420+.

And I think with the short series and all the rest days, knowing that Strider and Fried would likely throw 4 of the 5 games, Snit thinks he can probably get by just using the top 4 or 5 bullpen arms. Not many back-to-backs, so they can throw all 5 games if necessary. Shouldn’t have to dip too much further into the pen unless it’s Game 3. I think Elder starts, but is on a super short leash. Like maybe a 1-time through the order leash. And maybe AJSS, Yates, Tonkin, Daysbel throw an inning a piece to bridge you to Johnson/Joe/Minter/Iglesias.

I think the roster will change for the NLCS (hopefully). May just add a 13th arm and take away a position player. I love Grissom, but when is he actually going to play? Hard to find a scenario. Maybe today if Pillar starts in LF against a LH, we run him and they bring in a RH, sub Eddie for Pillar, then pitch hit Grissom late against one of their LH relievers, and let Wall finish the game in LF?

I’m not sure you wouldn’t rather just let Eddie face a lefty in that situation. Or TDA if you’re gonna hot for him. Grissom’s gonna be the 3rd RH bat off the bench any game Eddie starts in LF (after Pillar and TDA/Murphy). Just not sure how we’ll need a 3rd bat off the bench with this lineup. Maybe he pinch runs late if we’ve already used Wall

That's true which makes me wonder why Elder is on the roster over Wright. Kyle has much better stuff. Must be lingering injury concerns

Turns out it’s Tonkin

Starters (4): Spencer Strider, Max Fried, Bryce Elder, AJ Smith-Shawver

Relievers (8): Raisel Iglesias, A.J. Minter, Pierce Johnson, Joe Jimenez, Kirby Yates, Brad Hand, Daysbel Hernandez, Michael Tonkin

Catchers (2): Sean Murphy, Travis d’Arnaud

Infielders (6): Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies, Orlando Arcia, Austin Riley, Nicky Lopez, Vaughn Grissom

Outfielders (5): Eddie Rosario, Kevin Pillar, Michael Harris, Ronald Acuña Jr., Forrest Wall

DH (1): Marcell Ozuna

Acuna
Albies
Riley
Olson
Ozuna
Murphy
Arcia

This is just going off memory I wonder how far off I will be?
