The ATL Thread: 9/21 vs. PHI

4!

End it this weekend then you can set up the playoff rotation.

What’s our guess for how we set this thing up next week if we clinch? Something like this?

Tue: Newk
Wed: Gausman (60 pitches or so)/Fried piggyback
Thu: Julio
Fri: Folty (60 pitches)/Wright piggyback
Sat: Touki
Sun: Sanchez (60 pitches)/Gausman (short 1 inning side session)/Wilson piggyback

G1 is the following Thursday, G2 Friday, G3 Sunday, G4 Monday and G5 Wednesday fwiw. Folty and Gausman seem to be locked in to G1 and G2 and Sanchez heavy favorite to start G3 with Newk still a possibility. Newk, Julio or Touki in G4.

Folty is obvious 1. Who do we trust as a 2? Julio, Gausman, or Annibal? 2 of those 3 get the 2 and 3 spot. Other gets long relief with Touki right? I personally kinda like Annibal then Gausman.

Gausman is starting game 2. Anibal probably game 3. Touki, Newk or Julio game 4.

Game 1 - Folty
Game 2 - Gausman
Game 3 - Annibal
Game 4 - Newk

That’s my guess. Not what I’d do. I’d throw Newk in the pen and start Touki in Game 4

I bet Julio will get game 4 but I would have Touki ready verrrry early.

I just don't understand how Julio can be so dominant one night and God awful the next. What a job getting out of the sixth, and I enjoyed listening to Glavine reinforce my opinion about taking a hot pitcher out of the game.

Acuna need to work all offseason on getting better reads off the bat. He takes pretty bad angles and it finally cost us a game.

Heck yeah Ozzie
