    You just need to take 1. G5, we should be favorites. If good Framber comes out, we’ll see you in Houston. Fresh Graveman, Stanek didn’t put too much on his arm, and maybe Yimi can give you a solid inning.

    just need classic O to come out, let’s F go.

    No I think he was due up because Gurriel was intentionally walked but Grienke is probably a better hitter than Marwin.


    No choice but to win tomorrow. Then have 2 home games but then again, they suck at home in the World Series so.....

    Dad must have been grinning in heaven when he thought about it....hell of a way to make a managing decision.

    Solo homers usually don't hurt you except when you leave 69,420 runners left on base. The sudden ineptitude of the offense is baffling

    How many playoff series are we going to lose by pulling Grienke?

    Bregman is clearly not healthy and he's costing the team. If he had any leadership he would admit it and step aside for Diaz...

    We need Bizarro-Dusty managing tomorrow...

    Brantley
    Altuve
    Tucker
    Correa
    Alvarez
    Gurriel
    Diaz
    Maldanado

    Correa between Tuck and Yordan should see more lefties and better pitches...

    Our 2-5 hitters have been absolute, utter dogshit this series. Basically flat out embarrassing. Both Bregman and Brantley stare down strikes while Yordan chases everything down and away. And lately, Correa has just been hitting weak grounders pull side.

    This loss is completely on Dusty. Construct a better lineup. Bullpen usage tonight was a joke.

    One thing I don't get is why Dusty doesn't seem to use the bullpen with any order of consistency. Why go with Stanek so early? And then Raley of all people. Why not bring in Javier after Greinke to get you through some of the middle innings? Or Odorizzi? Then Stanek and Graveman, then Pressly. And hell, once the Braves took the look, why even burn Pressly at that point considering nobody has been able to hit their big three?

    Are you seriously implying that pitching lost us the game tonight?? Whether Greinke went 4, 5, or 6 tonight, the bats being totally dead is why we lost the game.

    Yes, but Dusty should move him down in the order. He's batting third right now and can barely hit it to the out field walls.

    In 5 season of playoff baseball, this is the first time I’ve said fukk it. If we win we win, if we don’t then that’s what’s expected.

    The problem is not pitching. It’s our offense that has choked this whole series
