Braves are 5-2 vs. LAD, scored 27 runs to their 17.

We missed Kershaw in all 7 games, though.

Starters

Heyward CF
J. Upton RF
Freeman 1B
Gattis LF
McCann C
C. Johnson 3B
Simmons SS
E. Johnson 2B

Bench

Uggla
B. Upton
Laird
Schafer
R. Johnson
Janish

Starters

Medlen
Minor
Teheran
Garcia

Righties

Kimbrel
Carpenter
Varvaro
Walden

Lefties

Wood
Avilan
Downs

Anybody think they'll do anything different? I figure Elliot's 5 RBI day locked him in to the lineup game 1.

Maybe Fredi will wise up and go with a 3 man rotation, but I'm not optimistic.

I'm thinking they start Maholm but that's a total guess.

Hanley and Puig of course murder lefties, but Crawford and Ethier can't hit against lefties at all. Of course it looks like Ethier won't play.

Hanley or Puig would take Maholm deep guaranteed

Also Ayala instead of Walden

Both have been shitty, but you're probably right.

Walden just looks totally lost now. I also don't know if he can go back-to-back days

Have never seen the Braves win a playoff series in my lifetime that I can actually remember, was born in 1992. I Feel like this is finally the year I won't be devastated really hoping we come out and win game 1!

So who is gonna be the guy to cost the Braves a game with defensive mistakes this year? Will it be the obvious person in Gattis or someone unexpected?

It's Ga St, dude. Don't worry about the Bama game. Go to ATL and pull our Braves through.



This (and I attended GSU ). Bama will win 70-3.

We know Nolasco well.

We'll need Meds to go pitch for pitch with Kershaw to win Game 1.

I do think we can beat Greinke.

Ryu will be tough.

Almost feels like we have to win in 5, lest we face Kershaw again.

Not a big Marvin Hudson fan or fan of six man umpiring crews, but that crew is pretty solid overall.

We'd have to win in 4 to avoid Kershaw twice. Would not be real optimistic going to a deciding game 5 against Kershaw.

I've almost convinced myself to go to the game Friday even though I'd have to drive back after the game to get ready for Alabama's 11 AM game


Georgia State is one of the worst teams in college football. That game wont be worth watching anyway.
