Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Braves:

• The Braves have taken the season series vs. all the other NL Postseason teams, going 5-2 against the Dodgers this year and 4-3 each against the Cardinals, Reds and Pirates.
  
• Like Colby Rasmus last year, Jason Heyward has found a spot in the lineup that he preforms his best in. Hitting in the leadoff spot, Heyward has compiled a .322 average with six home runs and 16 RBIs in 118 at-bats. He hit .223 with eight home runs and 22 RBIs in 264 at-bats anywhere else in the lineup. When Heyward hits at the top, the Braves are 23-7
  
• Freeman's 108 RBIs marks the first time a Braves batter reaching 100+ RBI since Chipper Jones and Jeff Francoeur did it in 2007
  
• The Braves are a MLB-best 56-25 at home, including going 25-10 in their final 35 home games of the year
  

 

Dodgers:

• The Dodgers are victims to the injury bug. With Kemp out for the remainder of the season, Eithier still unable to round the bases, Hanley Ramirez unable to start back-to-back games for 3 weeks because of back soreness and Yasiel Puig who was limited to pinch hitting roles after fouling a ball off his leg on Friday, it's safe to say it's already an uphill battle for the Dodgers for the rest of the Postseason.

[Jays]

3-0 cards

[Jays]

Burnett completely losing it.

[G-Snarls]

Wow, Burnett laying an egg here tonight...

[Jays]

Poor managing that Burnett is still in this game.

[G-Snarls]

Poor managing that Burnett is still in this game.

 

Yeah. When you look this bad this early in such a critical game, you gotta yank him sooner.

[G-Snarls]

Holy s***!!!

[G-Snarls]

Jon Jay scoring like a #TrueCardinal

[G-Snarls]

7-0

 

What a s*** show

 

Jeez Morneau moves like lead at 1B

[G-Snarls]

True Cardinals up and down the lineup. Colby Rasmus just didn't fit in with this group.

 

In the wild, a blue jay would tear a cardinal to pieces. So why don't we have the tough gritty players, huh?

[Orgfiller]

Kershaw's and Wainwright's numbers are stupid good, aces by definition. I mean it's baseball and anything could happen but I'd easily bank on games 1 to go to their respective team's way.

 

And Andrelton Simmons, defense god much? 91 wRC+ and still manages to be worth 4.7 WAR, damn.

[Jays]

7-1!

[Jays]

ok, go Braves.

[Jays]

Dodgers up 1-0... game over?

[Jays]

lol at the guy saying you gotta pitch to Ellis with a base open because Kershaw on deck had a lot of RBI's this year.

[TheHurl]

it's not easy to be -10 DRS in LF in just 340 innings played. Maybe it's just cause I really don't get Gattis appeal, but no way I'd put him in LF to make sure he gets AB's.

[G-Snarls]

This is the first time Braves have seen Kershaw the entire season. Huge advantage for him. Plus he's the best starter in baseball. So it could be a massacre.

[GD]

So just let McCann go to the Blue Jays! Simple!

[G-Snarls]

Radio broadcasters talking about these beast run producers on the Dodgers? Edwin could own all of them.

[G-Snarls]

So just let McCann go to the Blue Jays! Simple!

 

20 years later and I STILL hate the Braves

 

We're taking McCann, *******s!

[G-Snarls]

20 years later and I STILL hate the Braves

All your catcher are belong to us, indeed

[G-Snarls]

Has the been a post season game yet not decided by at least 4-5 runs?!?!

[fatcowxlive]

Pirates lose (boo Cards )

 

And Dodgers win (Take that you filthy Braves!)

[G-Snarls]

If I'm the Braves why would I let McCann go?

 

I say he either stays with the Braves. Or Yankees, Red Sox, or Dodgers overpay for him. Salty is a free agent for Boston. And Yankees and Dodgers both need an upgrade at catcher. Braves have depth at Catcher but McCann is a top 5 catcher and from the area.

 

He's only leaving if they get seriously outbid, or if he decides he wants a change of scenery

 

He's likely still with Atlanta next year

[G-Snarls]

I don't think there's even been a lead change yet either lol. Every game has gradually crawled to a conclusion.

 

Boring, boring games

 

Oh well, lots of baseball still to be played

 

I just hope the WS isn't a sleeper again this year

[BlueJayWay]

First round of the playoffs is always boring. One team always seems to dominate the other. Braves are completely over matched by the Dodgers.

Well I wouldn't say that. Last year all first round series went the distance.
