I feel like we have to take both games in LA
I think Teheran is better than Ryu, and I feel like Garcia vs. Nolasco is a push at best,
but if it gets back to game 5 with Kershaw I don't like our chances.

Tonight is definitely our best matchup.
There was speculation the other day that Ryu may be battling an injury as he threw a bullpen session with a doctor present the other day (while wearing a compression sleeve on his left arm, although that could be standard for him).
I wonder if we can ever just get an easy blow-out win in a playoff game? Would be sweet.

What blogs/websites do you guys read for Braves? I used to read Capitol Avenue Club, but it merged with Talking Chop which I don't like nearly as much.

If we win tonight I think it is pretty much a given that the Dodgers run out Kershaw tomorrow. It will be the first time he's ever pitched on short rest in his entire career though. I think we win tonight and if they throw Nolasco tomorrow instead of Clayton we win that game too. Should be interesting.

I guess I wouldn't put it past Kershaw to start tomorrow because he's a freak but he did throw 124 pitches on Friday. Even he would be limited somewhat.
I don't think he starts, though.

I don't think Kershaw starts game 4 if we win tonight, either.

Good ole Fredi leaving in a pitcher too long. Lot of baseball left though.

Teheran's stuff looked good but his control was **** and he ran pretty bad. Puig could/should have been called out twice on the bases...strike 3 down the middle to Ramirez called a ball. bleh. bullpen needs to step up

tough to come back when we give up at least a run per inning

I'm very disappointed watching this but can't say surprised. One thing I am surprised is how Mac has gone ice cold and still won't take the ball to left field even though it's wide open. Still hoping they somehow pull it off but very frustrated watching this. Look so uninspired overall.

He's a veteran with big game experience and has been pitching well at least. I think we can get it back to Atlanta but who knows.

At least they're not stuck with 2 huge contracts from non-producing busts.

So a little back of the napkin math and I've got us at about 16% to win the series at this point.
Nice time to set the season high in runs allowed!
Some of the mistakes are just so wtf at this point.
Not really beaming confidence at this point, but maybe Freddy Garcia can actually keep us in a ballgame tomorrow.

If I see Hanley hit another breaking ball down the middle into the gap I'm going to lose my mind.
