Saw something on Twitter about how weather postponement could help us big time. Rain looks likely on Friday and Saturday. Said depending on how much our starters pitch + how much we trust our bullpen our rotation could look like this:

10/26: Morton (Game 1)
10/27: Fried (Game 2)
10/28: Travel
10/29: Weather
10/30: Weather
10/31: Anderson (Game 3)
11/1: Fried (Game 4)
11/2: Bullpen (Game 5)
11/3: Travel
11/4: Anderson (Game 6)
11/5: Fried (Game 7)

I doubt we use both Anderson and Fried off 3 days rest, but regardless getting to use Fried in Game 4 or 5 would be nice

I love how getting lucky is out-hitting them. What the frick does it mean that we're "lucky", having our starter out for the series, and outperforming their team?




Wait until the Astros see a game where the umps don't give them a 1.62 run advantage from their shitty calls.


That's when the real fun of this series will begin

i'd like to have these next two because we have max and ian starting. yeah i know it is maybe not realistic to expect to be up 2-0 or especially 3-0 on the stros. i get it but i am speaking from a position of we have no starters after ian throws game 3. what would we have? 2 straight bullpen games? then max in game 6? ian game 7?

shite we really need these wins when our last two starters throw and we need another good outing from smyly like we got in LA once we get home.

or we can just score 10 runs every game here on out and help alleviate some of that pitcher concern.




Either Smyly or Wright are going to have to step up and give some serious innings, unless we somehow sweep and get by with a game 4 bullpen game. Can't have two bullpen games in a row with no off day in between, so a little 3 inning "pick me up" ain't gonna cut it. One of those guys are gonna have to suck it up and go at least 5.

Or, as you suggested, just score 10 runs every game. That'd be ok with me.

Max's start tonight is massive for us.

If the offense and him can snag us a 2-0 lead heading back to Atlanta, I like our chances with home field and Anderson on the mound for Game 3.

Being up you know what to you know what with home field is a great recipe to weather through a bullpen game on Saturday with the potential to do you know what.

And they may not play Friday due to rain.

Just looked, they should get Friday and Saturday in, but it's gonna be really cool and damp. Low 50's at first pitch both nights.

Looks like we had a friendly neighborhood Astros fan visit the thread and gift us all with DVs.

Braves baws, dropping in on your board for a quick question.

Looking at some betting numbers for tonight. In your opinion, is your Bullpen taxed? Or will it be a strength again tonight??

More or less yeah. Minter won’t pitch today. Might get an inning each out of Luke and Matzek. Past that it’s Chris Martin or Jesse Chavez. Not ideal options. I’d say if Max can’t go 6 innings we are in trouble.

Thanks. Was thinking over 9 tonight was likely, but really depends on Max like you said.
