Fried vs Bauer.

Another Braves postseason, another year where I'm preparing for pain.

Since this is a playoff round manufactured by COVID, maybe we are allowed to actually win this one.

Lots of road teams winning last night. It’s reminding me of college weekend series. Just need that one Friday night stud and it can throw the whole thing off.

I do not care if it comes with an asterisk. This team desperately needs to know what it feels like to advance in the postseason. It would get a huge mental block out of their heads.

Maybe, but if we win this series only to get knocked out in the NLDS for the millionth time, I better not hear Dave O'Brien and the other Braves media shills act like this team crossed some giant hurdle because they won a 3-game series against a team that wouldn't even be in the playoffs in a normal setting.

It is hard to understand DOB sometimes while he's gargling Anthopoulos.

You'll definitely be a pitch or two behind what people watching on cable, but I guess that doesn't really matter if you're watching it later. If you can actually get through the whole day without checking the score, you're a stronger man than me.

Atlanta has the most mentally weak fans in all of sports.

Pathetic.

I saw some talk on Twitter that Tyler Flowers is batting around .650 or something in his career against Trevor Bauer.

Some people think Snit might DH him and put Ozuna in the outfield. I wouldn’t do it but I wouldn’t be surprised if Snit does.

Based on your username, I'm guessing you hopped on the Steelers bandwagon either in the 70s or mid 90s because the Falcons were bad.

Bandwagon fans are more mentally weak than anyone else.

Pache appears to be on the roster.

Pache, Contreras, Camargo, Sandoval and Culberson on it. No Jackson, Hech, Inciarte or 4th starter.



Why didn’t go with Pache over Inciarte over the past 5-6 weeks? Has to be they are going to use Pache strictly for defense and base running in the playoffs and want to get 6.9 years out of him starting next April/May.

What would be the reason to keep Charlie over Hech? Not sure I understand that one.
