2020 MLB Season

[FRUMPY]

For the braves we just need Fried to have a really good start and Anderson and Wright (two rookies - thats how bare out starting pitching is) need to give us 5 innings, 4 as a minimum. Our lineup is really long but the old playoff story - will the big bats still bat big against the best of the best pitchers?

Hopefully Fried is back fit - was pretty dominant until the last month (dealt with back spasm and rolled ankle the last month), hopefully Acuna is fit (missed last game with same wrist he missed a few weeks) and Martin is fit (sore groin last game he pitched)

Last time braves won a playoff series was 2001, the reds 1995 - so someone will break a drought.

The 3 game series is do or die very quickly - pressure on from first pitch

I got who I wanted

Now let’s see if the umps have orders to squeeze the plate to assist baseball’s favorite sons

Luzardo gets game 1. It's very risky he's got all the talent in the world but he's been up and down this season and the white sox have smacked left handers all year.

Just as I suspected. Our bats doing absolutely nothing again in the playoffs.
Feel Sorry for our pitching staff they have to be virtually perfect it's gotta be frustrating for them. Luzardo wasn't bad just two mistake pitches punished and Wendelken has been great in relief.

My first thought when i saw the scores in the 7th.

Astros score 3 runs in the top of the 9th after a 2 out error from Twins. Should have been 1-1 going to bottom of the 9th.

Polanco turned an innings ending ground out into a 3 run 9th. Was such a lazy play on his part

Ahhh yes the Yankee love fest national agenda starting right on cue

 

[FRUMPY]

Just found out the Twins lost their 17th postseason game in a row - how is that even possible....

A-Rod and the other bloke on this coverage are so cringeworthy. We had a few sunday games this year with them covering the game and it was terrible. I follow about 4 scribes on twitter and they were bagging Arod out all day on how bad he is in special comments.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Ouch lol

 

[AmericanCrow]

Well this is problematic

I listen to local play by play and turn down their nonsense on tv feed

But may be a quick game tonight anyway lol

Can try to go to your teams local radio site and see if you can listen to feed.

MLB is not blacking local feeds out—I am in Phoenix and listening to WTAM

Just have to synch it to your video feed

They are very good at drawing themselves against NYY in the post season to be fair.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

2 run cushion in the first could end up being enough for Cole.

fair point but to not win any games in quite a few series is crazy (i thought Atlanta were bad)

He's been hit a few times this year but you wouldnt want to give him to many more runs to protect.

We shall see
