Things are about to get real for the Braves tonight. They will understand why they were underdogs very soon.
Zack Greinke is one of the smartest men in baseball, he's not going to intentionally give up a baserunner in a playoff game.
Puig got hit last night. Greinke has raised his NTS rating to at least 97 and since Puig took a rock to the back last night I've got a proverbial $1.35 saying that 'someone' gets tagged tonight. Playoff game or not. He might wait until he's got a lead... but someone is getting hit...
Ugh, really dislike this lineup. Having two lefties that dont hit lefties well in Skip/Crawford sucks, especially given Crawford is leading off. Maybe he has a few good ABs, but idk. Don't get why Don learns to lower Andre in the lineup vs. lefties but not Crawford.
Ethier upgraded to possibly running for himself on the bases. Lefty on the mound anyways today and off day tomorrow. Hopefully he can get in the lineup on Sunday night! Or if we're up 2-0 in the series we can give him even more rest and get him ready for the LCS and beyond if we are fortunate enough to advance? I hope.
Yup this was my huge complaint. Kinda rough cause SVS is shit on defense but still, thats two guys who we need to pray to have a good AB vs. Minor
