Braves 2019 NLDS Thread, Braves vs Cardinals...

[Nemesis21]

Donaldson leadoff dbl in the 9th, Swanson RBI dbl ties it, Duvall 2 run dbl. 3-1 Braves middle of the 9th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nemesis21]

Melancon with the save! Braves win 3-1, lead series 2-1!!!!

[Ruzious]

Duvall is the comeback story of the year... it was surprising the Braves kept him after he was so bad last year. He worked himself back onto the ML roster - and has had the winning big hit in both Braves post-season wins.

And Soroka - looking like a high school kid - pitched brilliantly.

That 9th inning stretch catch by Freeman - I'm not sure there's another 1st baseman now who could do that.

Good on Acuna for not losing it when he was hit in the 9th. You know St. L would have loved to see him get thrown out and maybe suspended.

Middle of the order bats, need to wake up in this series and moving forward. Freeman .182, Donaldson .167 and Markakis .154


Wake these bats up and let's close it out this afternoon!!

[Nemesis21]

The Braves will start Keuchel this afternoon. Teheran will be next in line, followed by everyone not named Max Fried. Fried will get the day off, unless this goes deep into extra innings.

Wow what a game! Much credit to Snitker for putting Duvall on the NLDS roster and for putting him in when he has. One game away! Just hope the offense gives Keuchel some run support today!

[Nemesis21]

2-0 Cards in the 2nd, Goldy and Ozuna go back to back. Dammit Keuchel

[Nemesis21]

Braves cut the lead to 1 in the 3rd, Albies RBI sac fly. 2-1 Cards end of the 3rd

[Nemesis21]

Donaldson leadoff walk in the 4th, Markakis GIDP, Joyce fly out to LF.


Outside of a couple RBI from Donaldson, Freeman, Donaldson, Markakis and Joyce are not hitting. All hitting below .200 in the series.
Freeman doesn't look himself. I think the bone spurs are more of an issue than what he is saying.


2-1 Cards middle of the 4th

[Nemesis21]

Cards get the run back, Ozuna's 2nd solo HR. 3-1


Keuchel 4.2 IP in game 1, 1 ER. 3.1 IP 3 ER 3 HR in game 4.

[Nemesis21]

Duvall RBI single in the 5th cuts the lead to 1, 3-2. Duvall with 5 RBI in this series.

[Nemesis21]

Ozzie Albies puts the Braves in front with a 2 run bomb to RF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4-3, Cards going to the pen

[Nemesis21]

Molina ties it up in the 8th, with a 2 out single. The ball was just out of the reach of the glove, of a jumping Freeman in short RF. 4-4 end of the 8th

[Nemesis21]

Acuna lead off the 9th with a ground rule double, Braves couldn't get him in to take the lead. 4-4 middle of the 9th

Greene shuts down the Cards in the 9th. To extras we go!

[Nemesis21]

Cardinals force game 5, winning 5-4 F/10.



10 LOB, leaving the bases loaded in back to back innings and Snit not riding the hot hand in Tomlin to finish the 8th cost us the game.

[ATL Boy]

Freeman has been such a massive liability it's ridiculous. Markakis isn't hitting either but he shouldn't be in the lineup at all. Donaldson is also awful but he at least had the crucial double in Game 3. Acuna deserves better than what these veterans are giving him.

To Game 5 we go. Flaherity vs. Folty. We really need Folty on his A-Game to match their ace, like in Game 2.

[Nemesis21]

The offense needs to score today, now more than ever. Enough of this 7-6, 3-0, 5-4 games. We need to stomp them 7-2 or something like that. This offense is very capable of putting up 5, 6 + runs.
