Not for Cash MoneyHere's where the three-batter rule is tough on a manager.
Incredible, they've only played 2 games.Atlanta survives. Up 3-0.
That game was twice as long as most Greg Maddux games so perhapsAtlanta survives. Up 3-0.
I'm still bummed about losing that series. In some ways even more than 2003.Kevin Burkhardt: "almost the biggest comeback in LCS history". What comeback would that tie, Kevin? Might anyone else on your panel know? Perhaps a Large Father?
Matt Garza? I mean, seriously?I'm still bummed about losing that series. In some ways even more than 2003.
A stat, per @jaysonst, I'm sure Atlanta sports fans will love/hate: Teams that take a 2-0 series lead in a best-of-seven LCS have ... a 28-3 record in those series.
This is just what I have been thinking. It is possible that the few hundred idiots tomahawking in the stands will be enough to make me cheer the laker tainted dodgersBy the way, it occurs to me that there's never been a better time for neutrals to root for the Braves - because you're not going to have to hear the Tomahawk Chop, like, at all. (Certainly not en masse - I think there might have been a few fans doing it last night, but still.)
No, they have not been behind yet.Have the Braves been behind in the postseason even once yet? I know they’ve scored first in every game.
Thankfully I went to bed after three-and-a-half innings - I wasn't feeling great yesterday - and watched the game this morning. Because you're right, that finish would have been indigestion-causing. (Has Albies forgotten how to play defense?) Really, I understand using Tomlin as a mop-up guy with a five-run lead; anything higher-leverage than that, his bottom should be glued to the bullpen bench. Anyway, a win is a win!I hope CP isn't up at 3am watching this, dude won't sleep all night, win or lose.
It's just funny at this point.I’m so sorry @Conigliaro's Potential
Yes, you're absolutely right - I'd forgotten that the Marlins had taken a 4-1 lead. Mea culpa.slight correction - in game 1 of the NLDS, Miami did have a slight lead most of the game.
Yes, you're absolutely right - I'd forgotten that the Marlins had taken a 4-1 lead. Mea culpa.
By the way, did anyone else notice that the Braves had an 8 to 3 lead going into the 9th last night? (Not quite 28 to 3, about as close as you can get in baseball....)
We're just being supportiveThank you for that.
Mookie used to be on the SoxSpeed kills
What a run by Mook
Why can't the Red Sox get players like that.
Thank you, Big Ben.Mookie used to be on the Sox
29 should be enoughBraves are going to need to score a lot of runs to win tonight, methinks.
It doesn't?The worst thing about this first inning for the Dodgers - even worse than the likely win it is going to give LA - is that it feeds the argument that "momentum" exists in baseball.
