NLDS: Cardinals v. Braves

[spystud13 2371]

 

 

Game 1 is 4 Central on TBS. 

[spystud13 2371]

That .711 OPS in 5-hole is strong. Matt Carpenter has fallen a long way.

He has hit pretty well over the last month, or else his numbers would really look like ass. 

[spystud13 2371]

You all know how much I love the Adam Jones/Andrew McCutchen Gold Gloves. Last year’s NL GG RF no longer plays there. 

[spystud13 2371]

Matt Joyce is -10 (bref) DRS in RF for his career, +4 in LF. 

 

Guess they want Nicky in LF with the lefty starting. 

[Vic Mackey 47313]

Braves in 4.

Didn't know about this:

The health worries don’t end there for the Braves. Freddie Freeman has a bone spur in his right elbow, which he is still favoring, and though he played over the weekend, he struck out four times in 11 plate appearances and didn’t come up with an extra base hit. It was only the third three-game stretch all season during which Freeman struck out that often and didn’t get an extra base hit. All three stretches have come in the last six weeks.

Braves in 4. 

What did braves fans ever do to you?

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Cards in 5, but I’m kinda surprised Jack Flaherty isn’t starting today. I think the braves are the better team, but I just have a feeling the cards are going to make some noise this postseason. And by noise I mean win this series and maybe even take the dodgers to 7.

Need a Brave to run across the pitcher's mound.

[Beau Vine 54878]

Does Shildt notice yet that Myles can't throw strikes?

Edit: Holy shit, bullpen up already, he's not married to his pitching plan today!

Wong wrong. 

[Beau Vine 54878]

That wasn't Kolten, that was his twin brother Sum Ting.

Wheels McCann. 

[spystud13 2371]

Nice little 5-3. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

What a play!

[clapclapclap 9000]

"Did his hip and groin feel ok?  NTTAWWT"

[spystud13 2371]

This 5-3 shit is easy. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

What a play!

Donaldson again!

[Beau Vine 54878]

Keuchel is the Jimmy Key of his era.  "Dallas Keuchel??  I could hit him." 

[pops 7044]

I don't remember seeing one 5-3 dp this year. Donaldson turns it twice. Geezus. Leave a few more RISP. 

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2741]

Farts!

[spystud13 2371]

Hmm, the guy that spent his entire life in RF fucked that up in LF. 

Who could have predicted that? 

[pops 7044]

Quick hook for DK. 

[spystud13 2371]

The guy playing his natural position made a play. 

[TonyTexas 10571]

I think it’s stupid how managers over manage  their pitching staff in the playoffs.

i agree with you, but they got out of it and keuchel should be ready to go for game 4 after throwing only 74 pitches today.

As a cards fan, that isn't exactly bad news

[BigOrange1 6544]

yeah they really pounded him this afternoon.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2741]

Need a base knock here boys!

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2741]

This is exactly where I thought they would struggle. Timely hitting.

[Beau Vine 54878]

I've said this about a billion times, but I HATE IBBs to load the bases.

[clapclapclap 9000]

I guess it makes sense that Ron Washington ended up in the hometown of Coke.

[Cooder 37]

Defense is optional for STL apparently

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Errors are gonna happen, but my god. Then there’s DeJong trying to do too much...

[Beau Vine 54878]

That was shit.

[jimmyjazz 46479]

Welp, I'm glad I took off work.

[Scraps 13598]

Man i love Acuna but come the fuck on bro

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Lol fuck are you doing Acuna? DP coming up, because the baseball gods

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Bad look there.

[Lat22 4051]

You would think that a Major Leaguer would not half ass it to first like that.

[GSU&UT 1798]

He freaking got benched earlier in the season, could also be him not wanting to hurt his groin.

[WBT 20745]

Or wanting to look cool.  Who could say?

[EZ$ 2106]

Yup, Acuna’s a Dumbass. Wasn’t like it was a 500 foot homer....it would have barely gone out if it did. 

[McCroskey 1490]

That was about the hardest hit sacrifice you’ll ever see in your life.

He looked slow AF in the 1st inning getting caught. I wonder if he’d have made second regardless.

Oh man and what a DP it was.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Pretty sure Acuna was gonna get caught in no mans land no matter what on that line drive
