12:08, first pitch. Series is best 2 out of 3. All (potential) three games in Atlanta.
Trevor Bauer RHP, #27
vs
Max Fried LHP, #54

David O'Brien @dobrienatl #Braves will face Bauer, Castillo, Gray in that order if series goes distance.

We're going to get waxed.
I would have felt like we were going to win against any of the other wild card possibilities, but this matchup is not good.

From ESPN:
"Urena, a candidate for Miami's postseason bullpen, was hit on his pitching hand by a 103.9 mph line drive from AL batting leader DJ LeMahieu with one out in the third. Urena crumpled over in pain and stayed down in front of the mound before exiting the game."
Never wanna see a guy hurt, but I wonder how Ureña liked being hit on the hand. Hmmmmmm

Braves: Max Fried went 7-0 with a 2.25 ERA and rookie Ian Anderson had a 1.95 ERA in six starts, but the rest of the rotation was so bad the Braves still finished with the third-worst rotation ERA in the majors. In fact, of the bottom 12 rotations, they were the only team to make the playoffs.
We gonna have to bang our way through this if we get through it.

Well fortunately we don't need to go 5 deep in the playoffs and our top 2 were really, really good.

Well fortunately we don't need to go 5 deep in the playoffs and our top 2 were really, really good. That's true of the first round, anyway. A lot will depend on how the young'uns handle the pressure. Fried has never started in the postseason, and hasn't pitched well when he's been in there. Hopefully, that changes. As for the pressure, I've always believed that pressure is created between the ears of the individual involved. I tell my kids that what some call pressure is actually FUN. I think that applies at the highest levels of sports. The playoffs are the fun part.
