This is why I love baseball and hate the Yankees.

Just reading that gives me PTSD flashbacks to '91.

That had to be the most stressful 7 nights
of Braves fandom ever.

Slightly off topics, but at least we made it to Friday before the off topic thread. Hopefully @Notorious B.E.N gets to fire that thing up about 5pm CST!!

What does one talk about in this “off topic” thread?

I haven’t left THIS thread in years

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Just confirming here...

Game is at 9:08 EST?

 

[Florida Stanley]

Are we tryna let Kyle Wright eat tonite?

If there was a way to extract the Braves fandom from my brain it would very easily be the best WS I've ever seen (wasn't alive for Reds - Red Sox in 75). Hell, we lost the damn thing and for Christmas that year I still got the VHS tape of the series recap story (or whatever the hell they used to call those things) and I wore it completely out because it was so damn entertaining.

Still easily remember 10 different "what if" examples from that series that just randomly pop into my head and make me sad. Lonnie on the bases, Hrbek and Gant at first, Puckett catch up against that stupid plexiglass, etc. etc. Capped off of course by "And we'll see you tomorrow night" and leading to Jack fsckin Morris. Also, when I really want to depress myself my brain will recall Bream grounding into the 3-2-3 double play in the 8th (7th?) of G7.

Correct

In the games in Houston, they had that cardboard cutout of Bobby Cox behind the Braves dugout and my mom brought up how much my dad would be grumbling about him, if he were still alive. He couldn’t stand Bobby.

Talk about some **** luck

Why does MLB continue to do games three hours apart on start times when no postseason game goes less than 3 hours???

There’s another series?

 

[zjcvols]

There’s another series?

Yes! It’s been really good actually!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Well this is certainly a take. Its not like they keep running dudes out who throw gas or anything.

This is pretty startling. Especially considering he has generally always had good bullpens.

People outside Atlanta don’t realize how elite this offense actually is.

Z’s “Braves pitching plan that never comes close to being right” for today if we take an early lead

Wright- 3 innings
Minter- 2 innings
Webb- 1 inning
Matzek- 1 inning
Martin- 1 inning
Melancon- 1 inning

Kyle passin out hands today

Let’s reset the rotation going into WS

 

[Volfan1000]

I think Tomlin gets the start tonight with Wright coming out of the bullpen at some point.

Wilson is the pitching hero of this series while it is great to finally beat Kershaw.

Don't overlook Ynoa's performance in the blowout either. That saved arms and set things up for success later

 

[AV_12]

Minter starting

 

[ckilla27]

AJ Minter starting tonight
Edit @AV_12 got me

[zjcvols]

So I bet the plan is Minter gets two innings, make Roberts throw his righties in...then go to Tomlin or Wright for some depth?
