And of course he strikes out. We must have a record of strikeouts in division series history

Imagine out pitching when Fried leaves and Morton retires. We got Strider and a bunch of AAAA pitchers. Hopefully a few will turn the corner, especially the guy out there right now. I know, can’t imagine… we know there will be another present or two to fill the gap but wouldn’t it be nice to, one time, go out and make a splash on an ace? And keep Fried!! After winning in ‘21 weren’t we supposed to spread our fandom to places like Tennessee and Louisiana and Kentucky and that was supposed to increase revenue to keep the team humming? For all the pitchers we acquire in the draft year after year, we had the most weakness, this year, in our pitching.

Imagine if we were to come back and win this series but Fried's blisters breaks in game 5.
We'd be down to one starting pitcher, who pitched really well in game 1 but had a 6 ERA month in September.
Imagine how we would fare in a 7 game series against anyone.
That's kind of depressing.
We’d have to suck it up cause,,, we all know there’s no crying in baseball. Lol Some days you get the bear, this PS the bear got us.

I never thought we'd win game 3 with the pitching issues. I was hoping but looks likes my fears were realized. I think we should be slight favorites in game 4 and game 5 should be a toss up so there is still hope.

We've been giving up an assload of runs for 2 months. Playoff baseball is really just a continuation of the regular season. We all knew this was likely to happen, and it's happening. I would have been more surprised if it didn't happen, to be honest. This might get back to Truist, but I sure as hell wouldn't bet on it.

We need to get a couple of hits… We can still comeback.

Have to admit, between starting Elder or SS, my initial gut instinct was SS …then, the more I thought, it made sense to go with the more experienced Elder. Hindsight is always 20/20 …and SS may have struggled early too but his presence on the mound seems to be cool cucumber ..and he throws hard!

A lot of grinding on who starts didnt pay off. Just look at the 2nd half of the year, not one outing in an itrasquad game.

Is Sean Murphy ever going to play another game for the Braves this year? I thought he would be a difference maker on offense and defense in the playoffs.

If you think about it for a second, you HAVE to laugh at the fact that Snitwit chose to pinch hit with Pillar over both Murphy and Grissom in the 6th inning. By the grace of god he walked, but maybe a guy who can actually hit might have hit one out in that spot who knows. I know Murphy has been sucking, but there's no day, evar, where Pillar is a better offensive choice than Murphy.
It's almost like Murphy made Snitker's list of "he's not a baseball player guy" somehow in the middle of the season even though he had a .999 OPS.
Now even going as far as to use Wall to pinch hit over Murphy.
If you're Murphy you have to be some kind of pissed off by now.
