2021 NLDS - ATL vs. MIL

[Wallball Tingle]

Not sure I've seen that. Runners tag up at 1st and 3rd when Yelich catches second out in left and throws to 2nd. Runner going to 2nd tagged out before other runner can touch home.

In a series where six total runs have been scored in previous two games... colossal fuckup.

 

[LogansDad]

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day—here's the tomahawk chop.

I hate it. It's so difficult, because I really enjoy the players on this Braves team, because they are fun to watch, but I just can't root for their fans to be happy about anything.

Should have renamed them the Hammers

 

[InsideTheParker]

Lorenzo Cain looks hurt, down on the ground after ploughing into the wall. He's coming out. JBJ? He is holding his left pectoral muscle. Not good.
Edit: I was wrong. He's staying in the game, for now.

 

[Ale Xander]

JBJ now coming in?

 

[LogansDad]

Hit the back of his head on the ground, might have knocked him out cold, causing him to lose the ball. That fucking sucks.

How the f do you build a fancy new stadium that has a fence with those posts sticking out. Even padded.

 

[Ale Xander]

Cain is able to stay in

 

[LogansDad]

Great play by Dansby Swanson

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice play Swanson!
Saves one maybe two with diving stop

Brewers pitcher taken out with a 4 inning shutout for a PH (Vogelbach)

 

[LogansDad]

Man, I love watching good defense.

 

[Ale Xander]

Brewers caught ina. Rundown between 3B and hp

2 outs

looks like epic squander for the Brew Crew

 

[Ale Xander]

Squander

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

This was always Milwaukee's greatest fear. They have arms that match up with anyone, rotation and bullpen, and have been as advertised, but when the offense goes cold, it does so very quickly.

You had to go to a PH there, but an absolute killer to get nothing across and burn Peralta who was really rolling imo. Really rough BABIP luck that inning. Honestly, going back to Saturday's ninth inning and the double play off the bat of Maile it's been bad BABIP for Milwaukee.

 

[Ale Xander]

I miss Orsillo

what a turn of momentum

 

[LogansDad]

Wow wow wow

 

[E5 Yaz]

You had to go to a PH there, but an absolute killer to get nothing across and burn Peralta who was really rolling imo.

Yep

 

[Ale Xander]

Not sure I can take the NL rules seriously after having seen that, having to take out a starter who's rolling like that

 

[E5 Yaz]

Thing is ... they didn't have to take Peralta out. It would only have been the second out. They didn't to see if they could get lightning to strike. Sad irony, that the Braves did basically the same thing and it worked

 

[LogansDad]

I used to like it because "strategy" and I'm basically an idiot, but yeah, I am all aboard the universal DH train.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Yeah, they didn't need to lift Peralta, but counsell and his squad are pressing hard to get anything on the board.

Incredibly easy inning for Chavez.

 

[shawnrbu]

Old friend Hunter Strickland.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Incredibly easy inning for Chavez.

0 for the series with RISP. All their runs came on one pitch in Game 1. They sure as hell need to press at this point.

Despite his horrible season at the plate, at what point do they let JBJ hit and see if he can conjure some of his playoff magic?

Shocked that Jackie was only -.7 WAR this year with a 34 ops+. Still plays a mean CF.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Unbelievably bad baserunning by the Braves.

You must have missed the play on Friday when Soler took off for home on contact on a sharply hit ball to first with no outs and Freeman on 1B in the first. The ball was hit to Tellez who tagged first and threw home for the force. It wasn't close. The Braves had Riley and Duvall coming up after Albies.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Now or never for Milwaukee

 

[shawnrbu]

1st pitch DP.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

They opted for never. Swanson unbelievable play

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

BABIP very unkind to the crew the last few days

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Incredible that this series would already be over but for one swing by Rowdy Tellez.

 

[shawnrbu]

Bernie Carbo reference on TBS.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Brewers won't start Burnes on short rest, per Counsell. I'm guessing Lauer or Anderson will be the starter/opener. Ashby is the dark horse for me. He's got a fantastic arm, even if the results have been mixed in his rookie season.

Eric Lauer starting for Milwaukee today.

[absintheofmalaise]

I wonder who they will add. Maybe Pache. He's at least good as a pinch runner.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

It is Pache.

[loshjott]

Swanson is no Brandon Crawford.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The Brewers ... whew, this is some team slump

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Orsillo must be on the board somewhere. He called Swanson's leadoff hit a "rulebook double" when it bounced into the stands.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Braves down 1-0 top of the fourth. Men on second and third with one out. Chavez replaces Morton.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

2-0 on Cain hit.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

I haven’t been able to watch these games, but following along it seems like the Braves have had a terrible baserunning error at least once a game and have stranded a million guys

 

[E5 Yaz]

and they're up, 2 games to 1!

 

[shawnrbu]

That’s a trap.

 

[normstalls]

What just happened???

How is it possible not to over turn that?

edit - apparently it is not reviewable (which makes no sense)

 

[54thMA]

So you can record an out on a dropped pop up when another player catches it on the bounce; good to know.

 

[54thMA]

Not reviewable apparently.

No clue why not, but that's baseball for you sometimes.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Not reviewable it sounds like.

I really like hearing Orsillo again.

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

I'll be the one to say it: if Jeter had done it, not only would the announcers never mention it hit the ground, but it would be on highlight reels for the next three millennia.
