You’d think so. DOB said it’s unclear if he’d be replaced by game 5 tomorrow (which surely depends on his health and not a timing issue), which is why I assumed it wouldn’t be today.

Probably a blessing in disguise. Ynoa has nearly a 7 ERA the last 2 months and he's given up meatballs.

I don't like bullpen games in a short playoff series. You're asking a lot of guys to be on their game. If even one pitcher doesn't have it (like Luke last night) then your whole plan goes to shite.

And then if you lose the bullpen game, your bullpen arms are absolutely exhausted for Game 5, which is going to be an absolute must win.

A very "Uhhhhh, you think?" level statement from me, but we absolutely need the bats to come to play tonight.

I mean yea, it would obviously be ideal if we had a reliable fourth starter but we don’t. Thankfully we are only going one bullpen game this series while the Dodgers will be doing it twice (games 1 and 5).

Agreed because I think the Dodgers are about to put a big crooked number on the board tonight.

Dylan Lee replaced Ynoa per Bowman. Ynoa’s season is done.

Dylan Lee up to take Ynoa's spot. Ynoa's season is over as he would be ineligible for the World Series if the Braves somehow get there.

I know it is risky and maybe even outright insane, but I'd have brought Strider up instead and let him either start the game or be the first man out of the bullpen. I know he's only pitched once in the majors, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Strider has the stuff to potentially do what Minter did in Game 5 last year.

It feels like we lost the whole series last night. I hope the team can shake it off and get a win.
