Game Thread: NLCS Game 5 (ATL 3-1): Braves @ Dodgers

[81usaf92]

Well well well. We are in the exact same place as we were last year after an eerily similar situation.

Last year we sent Minter out there to win us a game after a 10-2 victory in game 4.

This year we send out Fried against their bullpen.

Hopefully tonight we are singing Dani California, We are the champs, or any other song you choose to tell California to finally Rest In Peace. But until we actually finish the job… Braves and their fans shouldn’t proclaim anything that hasn’t happened for over 20 years until it happens.

Chop on

That is huge! Does he start though and who would you sit? How can you remove Rosario or Joc from the lineup?

He is on the bench tonight

I just saw the announced lineup. That’s a good move, this lineup has it rolling right now, better to not mess with it much. I see Rosario is back in the lead off spot and he flipped Freeman and Albies.

Whether the Braves win or lose tonight we will always have The Waffle House!!!

Chop ON!!!!

Except for a 6 year stint in the USMC, I lived in Atlanta from '87 to '13. I watched the Braves of the 90's religiously until about 2003. Since moving out west, I started watching the Rockies. They did pretty much nothing for the last few years (when have they ever really been good?) ... anyways ... I am watching the Braves tonight and hoping they can get to the next stage which would be huge. Would love to see a Boston/Atlanta WS.

Chopping for the Braves!

 

[CrimsonNagus]

I just want it to end tonight. Do not give them any hope of repeating last year’s comeback, finish it!

Interesting that they're going to start Joe Kelly. He's a MR. Any reason for this? Pitcher by committee tonight for LA?

Going back to the 70s and the team emblem I began with 43 years ago.

They are playing best guy as opener.

I googled and saw Levi Walker is still around. Good karma

 

[selmaborntidefan]

You absolutely should not be able to pitch the way this porn stache guy is. Geez.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Eat that LA

 

[tusks_n_raider]

GREAT at bat for Ozzie ends with a Opo hit against the Shift!!!

 

[theballguy]

1-2 Braves hitters looked very locked on. Porn stache while aggressive on the first 2 pitches so far is pitching predictably.

 

[81usaf92]

The Dodgers fans haven’t showed up.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Eat it!
Freddie!
