GDT: 2021 NLCS: (3) Atlanta Braves vs (WC1) Los Angeles Dodgers

[Halladay]

Really ugly swing by Joc there.

I hope Roberts is fired after they lose this series.

What did he do that is so egregious this game?

if the braves win this one you can pretty much hand houston the WS trophy already

ATL can't win at Dodger Stadium though

So coming back down from 0-2 is more difficult than 3-1? Or do you mean this series?

His weird match up experiments. He's burning Urias as a reliever for some reason. But all because he decided to a bullpen game so he could burn out all his relievers. He manages like this is still the regular season.

Dodgers are the only team that can beat the Astros. And since they don't have HF advantage this series, hard to see them coming back from 2-0

They have Buehler going game 3, as long as they win 2 of 3 in LA regardless of tonight, they have a shot imo.

I'd prefer we hand the piece of metal to the Red Sox instead, thanks

 

[Halladay]

That was close.

Looks like they are pitching around Smith. He shouldnt swing until he has to.

the other cheating team? no thanks

 

[PanniniClaus]

well well

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Holy crap. Are the Braves a team of destiny?

Holy crap. Are the Braves a team of destiny?

Maybe, but were you posting this a year ago? They were a game away and up in game 7.

 

[JWK]

Oh my, the Dodgers #barves it

 

[Halladay]

Morton/Buehler Tuesday, should be another great game.

Seager should have done everything possible to keep that infront of him, tough play as it was hit hard though.

braves playing like a team with house money

 

[RussianRacket]

What a game. This Braves team feels special

 

[Canes]

Because they literally are. Losing Soroka again and Acuna to injury, then the whole Ozuna situation. They shouldn't be doing what they're doing right now. But the Dodgers are the reigning champs and obviously the more talented team so who knows what will happen. Two game lead meant nothing last year.

Even without Acuna, that's still elite lineup. Not a fan of the pen but everything else is so much fun.

Go Braves! If not Orioles, I always root for Atlanta and Dbacks.

Braves aren't the only team missing key pieces. Dodgers have Clayton Kershaw, Trevor Bauer, Max Muncy, Dustin May out. Justin Turner's neck only allowed him to pinch-hit. And they have to overcome Roberts' inability to properly run a pitching staff.

My Best-Carey

 

[Blitzkrug]

To think this is a team everyone wrote off after Acuna went down and now they're two wins away from a world series.

For the Dodgers to win this series, they're going to have to beat either Morton or Fried twice to have any hope. I don't see it

Well, Astros offense is historically good but that trio of Fried, Morton and Anderson is elite. I don't think Braves will have much problem hitting Astros

 

[Halladay]

Not that it is the reason they are currently trailing, but I think they will change the format of after the LDS the team with the better record will get home field.

All the pressure is on Buehler tomorrow, though he probably will be the Cy Young winner and has pitched in much bigger games.

I really doubt it. MLB values divisions so much.

I really doubt it. MLB values divisions so much.

Give it another decade or two but eventually the MLB will move to a NHL/NBA style playoff setup. And they might even include universal DHs by then.
