I assume Trevor Bauer gets the start for Cincy. He seems very easy to dislike. He was whining a while back about risking his life to play baseball. :noway:

He was already known for saying "i'm good at two things: ‘throwing baseballs and pissing people off’.

Lol, he's my number one target this winter.

Hey, if we sign him, I'll consider him a likable guy who was just misunderstood. 8-)

But first, he's gotta lose on Wednesday.

Another annoying thing about this short season, is the playoff games will be starting very early because a bunch have to get played and there are very minimal days off.

Wednesday's Game 1 for this series, will be noon on ESPN. I'm going to have to record & watch later and stay away from my phone and ESPN. :banghead:

Braves always play early and I remember always hearing fans of other teams making fun of us because the games never sold out.

He's been wear custom shoes that have different themes. One pair had trash cans on them because of Houston.

Same with game 2 - 12:08 PM on Thursday. If game 3 is needed, it's at 3:08 on Friday. I'll have to sneak peaks from work.

Are they still using the 10th inning rule - starting with a man on 2nd?

Just looking at Bauer's stats this season - absurdly good - allowed only 58 base runners in 73 innings - and had 100 k's. It'll make beating him feel all the more special.

Nope, I posted about it.

No score in the 6th. Braves had a runner at 3rd with 1 out in the 6th, Ozuna popped out to catcher and d'Arnaud struck out. :banghead:

Great pitching match.
I had to mute my TV because of ARod!

Go Braves!

I've only seen the 10th inning - but the Braves batters are getting themselves out - swinging at pitches clearly outside the strike zone. I can pitch in the majors if the batters promised to swing at the pitches the Braves are swinging at.
