GDT: 2020 NL Wild Card Series: (2) Atlanta Braves vs (7) Cincinnati Reds (ATL wins 2-0)

[Prominence Problem]

I just realized, I have a jersey and / or hat for almost every game going on today.
I'll start with the first game, wearing my Reds white sleeveless Joey Votto red pinstripe jersey with my black hat with red beak.

 

[DougieSmash]

Wow, that was awesome. Two top 5 pitcher dueling.

 

[Prominence Problem]

And this one's going to extras, still scoreless.

 

[EpochLink]

Bases loaded for Cincinnati and they come up empty.

Cincy offense is pretty bad. Down year for Suarez, Moustakas is meh, so is Castellanos. Not enough weapons.

Imagine if you combined the 2020 Reds pitchers with the 2012 Reds hitters

 

[Prominence Problem]

If the reds don't win this game, then they don't deserve to advance. Wasting these pitching performances.

 

[EpochLink]

Runners on the corners for the Reds, take advantage

the loser of this game will really be up against it given how well both sides have pitched

And not to mention how much the bullpens are getting used. In a three-game series with no off days this could be monumental.

A best of 3 with no days off feels even more radical than the best of 5 NHL qualifiers (which at least occasionally had days off)

 

[EpochLink]

The reds have left how many on base today?
Good grief

 

[Kyle McMahon]

This game just sums up the problem with baseball these days. Hitters who are totally incapable of even a sac fly.

 

[c9777666]

Is this gonna be baseball’s version of Tampa/Columbus 5OT?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

ANOTHER golden chance for the Reds here.

Aquino K's.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Reds if they blow this here should just go home

 

[EpochLink]

Ineptitude at its finest

 

[c9777666]

Reds if they blow this here should just go home

You could say the same thing for the Braves if they blow this given how well their seemingly shaky pitching staff has come up today

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Freeman the hero!

[c9777666]

Atlanta WINS a game 1?!

 

[DougieSmash]

Poor Bauer. This is why he won't stay in Cincy. Terrible offense.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

Reds strand 15 to lose 1-0. May as well just go home after that.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Reds 1 for 12 with RISP, 13 LOB. Very Mets-esque.

Should've intentionally walked Freeman, too.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Poor Bauer. This is why he won't stay in Cincy. Terrible offense.

He needs to come to Southside of Chicago

We need better pitching
