Yeah, I think I mentioned something like that after his last game - that all of his K's were from changeups thrown after fastballs and that he might have to change up (get it?) that pattern against the Dodgers.

Amazing. Melancon is the best homerun catcher since Tom House.

Glad I fell asleep and missed the Dodgers' rally - don't think I could handle that drama. Congrats Braves and on to the next one!

Yes, me too... I was confident in the score in the 6th, but not really overconfident.. I just got weary and let the game go... and that was the first game too... lol

Snit almost blew it by being a moron. I get that he was trying to not use Melancon with a 5 run lead and save him for later in the series, but you have the top of the Dodgers lineup coming up in the 9th, and you decide to go to our one reliever that can't throw higher than 92 mph?? Well guess what the Dodgers certainly took advantage of Tomlin's slower fastballs. You had Greene and Smith who both throw 95+, in the bullpen, go with one of them if you want to save Melancon a bit. Then you had to use Melancon anyway because Tomlin did so poor. A terrible decision that almost cost us the win and 2-0 series lead.

11-0 Dodgers in the 1st, Braves can't get out of the first with two pitchers Wright and Dayton.

OMG, 14-0 in the 3rd. Welp, this might end up being another playoff record for Braves pitchers - in a very bad way. Hey, we'll still be up 2-1.

Edit: If Ynoa can give us 5 innings, he's a hero as far as I'm concerned - even if they score another 5 runs. Gotta save the pen for games 4 and 5.

This is so brutal to watch.

15-1 Dodgers. 7 runs by Wright, 8 by Dayton. Dayton shouldn't even be on the team, like Luke Jackson, I don't like him.
