Game 1 is Thursday. Folty vs Ryu

My genius comments from the other thread:

Expect a low scoring 1st game with Folty vs Ryu. Ryu's given up a total of 1 run in his last 3 starts (19 innings) and gives up very few walks. He has a crazy 1.15 ERA at home this season - in 54.2 innings. This may sound nuts, but I think Flowers is the key guy in the Braves lineup tonight. He crushes lefties.

House money. Anything from here on out is gravy.

Folty escapes a bases loaded jam in the 1st, striking out Puig. 1-0 Dodgers end of 1st.

Braves offense being 1 hit through 3 innings. This will be a short series, if the offense doesn't show up.

Newcomb comes in to pitch the 3rd

Well that was embarrassing. Dodgers won 6-0. The Braves have been outscored 12-1 in their last 3 games played. It's going to be a short easy series for them if we don't score. They have a chance to take a commanding 2-0 lead tonight with Kershaw on the mound.

However he hasn't usually been good in the playoffs, so let's score some runs and tie this series!

Folty was downright awful. He let the moment get to him right away, and then mentally capitulated when things didn't go his way, like he's prone to do. Got incredibly lucky that he didn't give up more runs in that first inning with the bases loaded and Puig swinging at ball 4.

Hopefully the more experienced Anibal does better tonight. Game 2 already feels like a must-win, because I can't see this LA team losing to anyone in the NL three times in a row.

Machado 7-14, 1 dbl, 3 HR vs Sanchez coming into that AB, why not walk him?? Instead he homers on a 3-0 pitch

Nemesis21 · Post #15 » by **Nemesis21** » Sat Oct 6, 2018 2:12 am

Kershaw 6 pitch 2nd inning.

This is going to be a quick short series, my friends

Nemesis21 · Post #16 » by **Nemesis21** » Sat Oct 6, 2018 2:28 am

Acuna just missed a 2 out HR to LF, by about 8 feet.

Nemesis21 · Post #17 » by **Nemesis21** » Sat Oct 6, 2018 2:41 am

12 batters retired in a row, for Kershaw after Acuna lead off dbl

15 scoreless IP in this series for LA

2-0 Dodgers middle of the 5th

2013 NLDS, 2018 NLDS. I'm really growing to hate the Dodgers

Grandal solo HR 3-0 Dodgers

The Braves are done in this series.
