Braves 2019

Much better showing by the Braves mostly due to starting pitching.

Pitching- A
Bullpen- B
Defense- A
Offense- B+
Managing- A

Off to St. Louis for Game 3. Starting pitching needs to go 7-8 innings, play small ball power will come, bullpen needs to close out two innings, no errors in field or on bases, do not over manage based on stats. Go Braves.
 
Maybe they can end it tomorrow. I feel a cold coming on that will certainly require me leaving work early tomorrow...
 
They done good! I didn't turn to it after the United win, figuring they were not going to make it.

I caught the last two outs in the 9th. Nice work. Go Braves! Go United! Meh Falcons.
 
Really good baseball game. It does not get much more exciting than the ninth inning two out rally. Hopefully the momentum will carry into today and they can clinch. Lots of good managing calls but I still don't like pulling starters in the seventh just because that's what they do in baseball today. Until the last 10 years or so it was nothing for a good starter to throw a complete game. Our bullpen is definitely not lights out but kudos to getting it done anyway. Go Braves.

I watched less than 5 minutes of the game and it was when we got the 2-run homer to go up 4-3 so it’s not my fault they sucked it up again. There’s always the next game...at least one more this season anyway.

Fixed it for you.
 
Pitching is this teams Achilles heel. Keuchel was acquired for one reason, to win big post season games. He has been a complete failure in this series. When you make $13 million to play a kids game you should damn well earn it. Everyone knows the bullpen is suspect at best. Tehran showed why he was left off the original PS roster with a awful relief appearance. Braves also stranded at least 8 on the base path that is unacceptable in big games. It was a good game and another nail biter. They have got to win these close games to win it all. I think they still have the upper hand to win this series but no more excuses go out and win, give 100%. Go Braves. Oh yeah tell Keuchel to shave that stupid looking hipster beard maybe it will change his luck.

Pitching- D
Bullpen- C
