Squall posted:Nah, a win is a win, especially in a postseason series. Bonkers that we almost let it slip away, but the important part is that we escaped with the win and just need to win 2 of the next 5 to advance. Yeah, true. Games 3-5 have our worst chances so winning everything else so far is a great step for sure.

The Braves should in no way be counted in or the Dodgers out at this point—given the pitching staffs from here on out, Braves 2-0 is basically a coin flip for the series; Dodgers in 6 is way more likely than Braves in 4 for sure—but I will note that the only way Atlanta has ever done well in the latter stages of the postseason is by playing franchises even more cursed than themselves (thanks Cleveland!), and I definitely don't think the Rays qualify. edit: still when you're up against a team that, short season and all, was on a 2001 Mariners pace, I think you take the lead and sit as pretty as you can while your shittier pitchers get shelled elentar fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Oct 14, 2020 |

The Astros used up all their luck against the A's. 31 LOB in 3 games is pretty dire Weird stat: through three games, the Rays have scored in five innings and they're up 3-0 e; granted, the Astros have scored 5 runs total so that's not that crazy Intruder fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Oct 14, 2020 |

bregman's striking out on a mid-70s breaking ball up in the zone was very nearly as satisfying as watching altuve repeatedly fail at basic baseball fundamentals

Ted Cruz firmly on the side of the "lean into the villainy" Astro fan strategy. A predictable and yet tragic turn of events.

I can't believe my life long fandom, the Houston Astros, would have a heel turn like this. I'm glad the Braves or Rays will have the shot at killing the Dodgers so I don't have to actively root for Houston lol

Camargo at 3B, Riley/Pache/Acuña OF; they're actually correctly sitting Markakis even after a decent game. Not sure Camargo is much better at the plate right now but defensively it's probably an improvement.

It's looking like the Eastern divisions are as strong as the Central divisions are weak. Has any Eastern division team yet lost a game to a non-eastern opponent?

the LDSs were all intradivision and the only non-central team to get knocked out in the WCS was the Jays by the Rays so

Bryse Wilson announced as Game 4 starter, leaving Ynoa (who you might need for Game 5), Greene, Smith and if absolutely necessary Melancon from the pen tonight. If the Dodgers can chase Wright and make Atlanta waste a few of those guys they are in great position to win two or three in a row given what will remain available.

There is a path still for the Dodger to win this series but now their margin for error is basically zero. Offense has to be consistent to keep pressure on the few weaknesses in the Atlanta pitching staff, and the pitching has to be good all around.

The best thing about the Tomlin disaster last night was it meant he couldn’t start Game 4 and probably won’t appear again unless the Braves are already so far behind it no longer matters.

The pre game minidoc on Freddie made me cry. One of the first prospects I was ever aware of and looking forward to, and a decade later, through everything, he's leading the team in the NLCS. I really like baseball a lot.
