Bump this knock off. We get the real thing in 28 minutes

Ump was giving Astros a lot of calls but their catcher had a really quick glove and sold his framing all night

 

[Buzzbait]

95% accurate was very generous

Josh Heupel boys. Getting burnouts drafted after a few months on campus. Per Kiper.

 

[Blake25p]

What’s wild is the ump was above average on his percentage of calls but literally all but one missed call went in favor of Houston +1.62 in favor of one team is inexcusable especially in the World Series.

 

[Florida Stanley]

What absolutely can’t happen is Max get in trouble and knocked out early tonight. Need a quality start

We gon find out if he is a for real ACE for real tonight lol. Last outing he didn’t have it mentally.

I think LA was a pretty large mental hurdle for a lot of the guys. Fried pitching against his hometown team in front of his family and friends to close it out had to have been a lot

Yup. Still Max Ace forever, just can’t stack two bad performances or we could get cooked ha

This Braves team is special

 

[Blake25p]

Interesting

 

[zjcvols]

Interesting

I assumed he was done for the year lol

 

[AV_12]

How different is he that Smyly at this point? Would have went Muller. Don’t like this

 

[AV_12]

I know options are slim but still

 

[zjcvols]

I would have gone with a righty, but idk. Gonna need Wright to get a few outs at some point

 

[LotteryPick]

I would have done Muller

 

[zjcvols]

I would have done Muller

I guess they don’t trust him to throw strikes.

Honestly I’ll be surprised if Tucker is used. I assume everyone just moves up a spot and Tucker is used in case of emergency.

 

[AV_12]

Honestly Newk is a better option as well. Him and Muller at least have big fastballs to lean on

 

[AV_12]

Oh Well BTFU

 

[Regulator]

I think we can pencil Minter in for Game 5.

If he’s needed in a leverage spot G3 or G4 you do it. Win the game in front of you. Worry about G5 when it’s Sunday.

Absolutely correct

I agree. Win today and figure out the rest on the fly.

Hopefully won’t have to depend on the young guys(Davidson,Wright) too much. A lot of it depends on how these next 2 games go. I can see a Chavez/Smyly/pen combo for game 4. After that I think I will depend on if we are up 3-1 he could go with Wright or Tuck and go with Fried and Ian in games 6 and 7 on normal rest but if we are facing elimination in game 5 it could be Fried on short rest. It is very important to get 6 or 7 innings from Fried and Ian the next 2 games

Need a minimum of 5 from each, but 6 from one or both would be huge. 7 innings is just hard to get out of a starter in the postseason these days. Also, I agree with you that the only way we see Fried on short rest is if we are facing elimination.

 

[zjcvols]

Would have Soler second personally and move Oz to 5th
