2021 NLCS: Braves vs. Dodgers

[rajendra82]

Minter looks like the mirror image of Kimbrel.

 

[Marciano490]

Missed a nice fat one. Joe does love that curve.

phrasing x2.

 

[shawnrbu]

AJ Minter making the 12th Man proud.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I’m not a fool after all?

Can't it be both?

 

[shawnrbu]

Chris Taylor is this generation’s Scott Brosius. So annoying in the playoffs.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

I've gotta root for Pujols here… he might be the last guy in the majors who's older than me.

(FTR: I'm 45)

 

[Ale Xander]

Good part of a Braves 3-0 lead:

Media talking about 2004 (LCS) and 28-3 (Atlanta)


bad part of Braves 3-0 lead:

Another team can do what Red Sox did, and if it can happen again, it's certainly this Dodgers team, vs. a team from Atlanta

I'm pretty much rooting for 2-1 series in everything where Boston teams are not involved.

 

[Wallball Tingle]

Seems like a long time since Pujols took Lidge for a ride in that NLCS.

 

[rajendra82]

Retire already.

 

[strek1]

Pujols can't even make contact anymore. Sad.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Seems like a long time since Pujols took Lidge for a ride in that NLCS.

Well, that's because it was

 

[shawnrbu]

Dodgers fans already leaving in the 8th.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Double play ball sneaks through and LA has a final? chance here.

 

[Lowrielicious]

yuge

 

[shawnrbu]

At least the Braves won’t blow a 3-0 series lead.

 

[patinorange]

The Dodgers will win this series.

 

[Ale Xander]

Moooooook

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Mookie's turned up the clutch gene this October.

 

[Madmartigan]

Oh Atlanta you had this

 

[shawnrbu]

4 hour game.

 

[AB in DC]

Sounds like there has been some great baseball this series. Too bad I can't stand either of these franchises.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Joc time.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Atlanta sports teams are cursed.

 

[moonshotmanny]

So, I was wrong about the sweep.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Yep, the Braves that I was expecting have shown up. Getting beat by 2021 Cody Bellinger…

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

Shades of the '96 Series?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Ynoa scratched with shoulder soreness

[SemperFidelisSox]

Lux cannot let up and have that ball drop in. Playing him in CF is crazy.

 

[patinorange]

Roberts is sticking with Urias.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Rosario being great again is really filling in for Acuna right now

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Braves are gonna blow this lead too, aren’t they?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Braves are gonna blow this lead too, aren’t they?

I mean, isn't that what makes them the Braves?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

When Francoeur does Braves games for the local Bally RSN he and the Chipster always use the first names of the players like they're good friends. Not as much on the national games. There's some players whose first names are good to use. Like Pedro, Manny, etc. But to listen to "Dansby drove that pitch to center" is just bizarre to me.
Just had to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening. And yes, the Braves will blow this lead.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Turner just did a Hunter Renfroe impression.

edit: and now it looks like he’s done for the postseason

 

[shawnrbu]

Turner done for the season.

 

[patinorange]

Only two more chances for the Braves to blow this game. Just to top off a shitty sports night.

 

[shawnrbu]

5-2 going into the 8th. Same as yesterday.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I don’t think the Dodgers have another miracle in them. The offense is just not there consistently.

 

[patinorange]

Mookie Renfroed it.

 

[shawnrbu]

Mookie Betts has 4 HR in 49 postseason games. 0 HR, 3 RBI in 16 LCS games.

 

[patinorange]

Freddie with some redemption the last few games.

 

[McBride11]

Turner done for the season.

what happened?

was flying all day and finally got to hotel (sadly wont be in hotel for pats game).
good news i missed the sox shit show it sounds like i guess?

 

[canderson]

A Braves v Astros World Series would be grooooosss.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

And Freeman might have just put this one out of reach.

I’ll just point out though that the Braves went up 3-1 in the NLCS against the Dodgers last year. Same pattern too, taking games 1, 2, and 4.

Aggravated the hamstring running out a grounder.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Much like the Sox, the Dodgers are a bit short, but for injury reasons only (Muncy, May).

 

[Lowrielicious]

Mookie Renfroed it.

And the dodgers bullpen have redsox-ed it

 

[Deweys New Stance]

A Braves v Astros World Series would be grooooosss.

Better than Dodgers / Astros. If the Sox aren’t meant to be this postseason, I’ll take the Braves over Houston/LA.

 

[patinorange]

Even Mary Hart left

 

[shawnrbu]

Fake Dodgers fans heading for the exits.
