GDT: 2023 NLDS: (1) Atlanta Braves vs. (4) Philadelphia Phillies

We are getting closer to the ''Braves better wake up because it's Wheeler next game'' part of the night.

That call at 2nd might be one of the worst I ever saw. The previous overturn was fairly bang bang so cannot fault him for getting that one wrong

He has the lowest whip in MLB playoff history with a minimum of 40 innings. Lucky for the Braves is Fried is great, though who knows how his blister is. I remember Pedro saying years ago is that they linger. I think the Braves win this series unfortunately but if it goes 5 I like the Phillies chances with Zack on the mound.

Strider pitches like primer Pedro against the Phillies despite him getting lit up by teams like the Mets and Nationals.

Pulling Ranger here, not sure I like this. Come on top 10 pick Jeff Hoffman!

Yikes, now a brutally missed strike call lol

Automatic umps you clown Manfred. You are losing interest in the sport.

 

[Halladay]

Rob Thomson is a clown. He gives good vibes though.

Dominguez escapes a jam.

Seranthony is the righthanded Chapman. A timebomb ready to explode. maybe this gets him going.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Harper!

Playoff Atlanta has returned

 

[Halladay]

I need more alcohol. There is nothing like playoff baseball.

I have no idea how the Phillies will win this game. They blew their best reliever with getting only 1 out.

Kerkering up in the bullpen

Question now is if Philly has the guys to get 9 more outs here without giving up at least 2 or 3 runs. Now sure they do really.

Im not ready for Kimbrel .

Braves got the worst match up possible

Where they have the best record, shouldn't they play Arizona. While Dodgers get Phillies?

Probably not as they blew Hoffman for only 1 out, but not like the Braves bullpen is great either. Though I still dont think the Phillies win this, already used their two best relievers for a total of 4 outs.

It is how it should work but they chose a bracket.

I suspect when MLB expands and goes to 8 playoff teams that will be how its done

No team would get a bye if it is 8 teams though, if it goes to 7 like the NFL then maybe.

 

[BMOK33]

Seems to me a no brainer to just go to Kimbrel for 6 outs with the off day but he is pretty old

The NBA has 8 teams per conference and does the bracket format though, so I can see what he means.

Let's go Phillies! Beat these demons who destroyed my childhood. And my 34th October. Praise Harper... f*** Bobby Cox. Mean old man.

He has been really bad since the All Star break, the entire Delaware valley will die if it is for 6 out save attempt . Id send Orion back out. He stuff is absolutely filthy and none of the batters have ever faced him.

They dont reseeded though in the NBA unlike the NFL.
