I’m obviously glad he didn’t, but it really is a sad state of affairs in baseball when in the bottom of the 9th, down 4, with a runner on 1b, and the entire right side of the infield open that a lead off hitter can’t poke it through the other side. Great Win! 1-0!
I might agree but this feels similar to the dodgers where their pitching is equally as screwed as ours if not worse
If there’s one thing about this team, it’s their resiliency. I’m confident they’ll rally around each other and not let that define the series.
I think it depends on what happens in games 2 and 3. If we win both or split, you have the option to wait to bring them back on regular rest in games 6 and 7. If we lose both, I think you have to bring Max back for game 5.
I feel pretty damn good about this currently. But there is probably going to be a game in here somewhere where the Astros beat us 13-5. Their bats are too good to do this all series.
Big win. Quieted the crowd early. Defense was great. Offense added on early. Minter was amazing. Rest of bullpen was excellent. Good start. Hate it for Morton.
Going through TSA at LAX during the 8th inning. Weirdly got stopped for additional screening even though I have precheck. I’m guessing it was because of my Braves hat.
We dodged some bullets tonight, had some good luck too but sometimes you have to have those things fall your way to win it all. Just thankful it was our night tonight. Who knows what's going to happen game to game on a stage like this. Tonight it was largely Soler and Duvall that carried us. Maybe it's Freddie, Soler and Dansby tomorrow night. Who knows. Riley seemed a little anxious but still had a huge hit early to add on. Just hope Max is on.
It’s also fun knowing that pretty much every baseball fan who isn’t an Astros fan is rooting for us. And that includes most fans of NL East rivals.
