I am beginning to think Elder was a fluke. He has to command the zone to succeed with his stuff and for the most part, he can't. We shall see.

Riley Ks but the Braves creep closer! Too bad we've given away runs on offense and drfense this game.

I don't know if he's a fluke but he has been very inconsistent lately. I hardly ever see that high fastball he threw earlier in the year. It's a good pitch when most everything else is down. Pitchers like Elder who don't throw that hard depend on sharp command and movement. If they don't have it they get hit hard. Accordingly they can be inconsistent unless they rarely have command issues. Not usually the kind of guy you want to throw in a playoff game because you just never know from game to game.

Nothing but a D'Arnaud single in the 7th.

Minter throws a first pitch to Happ right down the middle and Happ smashes a HR. 8-4! That just might do it! 4 runs will be hard to come back from in 2 innings.

With the Harris walk the win probability went from 2% to 3.3 % With that DP win probability went down to 1.1%.

Elder is up and down and Charlie is also plus he may not be back next year. We do have a bunch of other guys line Soroka, Anderson, and AJSS etc. so I hope some work out.

LOSAGE! Bad start from Elder, bad base running, and too many left on base!

Without his error we wouldn't have needed the 2 Run homer at all. We would have been tied.
