The issue is that we have to over rely on the pen because of our lack of starting pitching.

Take today for example, Sale was only able to go 5 innings, but because we've gone three straight games using only the bullpen, two of our better arms these playoffs (Kerr, Fuentes) weren't available.

It's hard to sustain that level in a 5-game series, now imagine if we somehow advance and have to piece that puzzle for a 7-game series.

This staff is just not built for consistent playoff success. Injuries are a part of it, but roster construction is a bigger part.

Jesse will give him a helmet sticker after the match.

then the noise may get loud enough AA/Liberty can’t ignore it


Feel like we've been saying this the last few seasons.

If it didn't happen after missing the playoffs last season, and if it didn't happen after we had one of the best records in baseball at this deadline, it won't happen because we lost in the NLDS.
This game will either finish as is or Canada gets an equalizer on some bullshite. Either way, Jesse's post match press conference will be about how he outphysicaled the big bad Americans and he'll talk about how they were the better team by citing the possession numbers and blah blah blah.

He had offers on the table with higher AAVs than what he got from LA throughout the entire 2021 season


The Braves didn't give him a single contract offer during the 2021 season.

An offer came right before Spring Training that year and it was a 4-year offer i.e. not a serious offer. (Freddie was insulted by that and it's when he made that comment to the media that during the season wasn't the time to negotiate a deal... keep in mind he was coming off an MVP year)

The Braves then came after the World Series with a 5-year offer. He wanted a 6-year and AA never wanted to give him that.

Freddie and the Dodgers never spoke until the Olson trade happened.

Yeah people just have to let the FF thing go

Who cares


I do, considering he is hitting homers against us and winning World Series MVP's

If he wanted to be here, he would be.



I know for a fact that wasn't the case.
Freddie has son'd the frick out of us this series.

AA just grinning it while it happens.
Yaz is such a bitch.

Lead off double and we can't even score it.
Would be kinda wild if they pitch around Yaz to put the winning run on for Riley.
I hate Dubon in this spot when we need baserunners and he swings just as much as Mike but without the pop, so maybe it works out.
This is going to hurt even worse isn't it? :lol:
Diaz is volatile enough to where this will either be quick work or we actually pull something off that's incredible here.
Why the frick are we burning Iggy by making him throw ~25 pitches?
Baldwin is receiving the ball so bad.

That 1-0 pitch to Freddie caught the edge, but he literally caught it behind Freddie.
quote:

Why not keep Suter out there and make sure Iggy is fresh tomorrow?



Makes zero sense. Even if he's not taxed for tomorrow, why the frick let their guys get a free look at him when we may need to use him in a save spot tomorrow?
quote:

Really unfair to Sale to carry that pressure 30 starts a game and especially in the playoffs.



Blame the GM for going into this season thinking that chronically injured pitchers starting the season on the IL suddenly wouldn't be chronically injured... and then doing minimal work to negate the lack of starting pitching at the deadline.
Matt Olson career postseason OPS before tonight: .693 (and falling)

Freddie Freeman career postseason OPS before tonight: .865 (and climbing)
Matt please prove me wrong here.
