ATLANTA BRAVES THREAD!

[ellitor 33,093]

Heard this morning from a Braves insider that they will use the 4 man-rotation, with possibly Freddie Garcia as the fourth. Wood has been sent to the Bull-Pen for the playoffs. Guess that leaves Maholm odd man out...

That would surprize me given he has by far been the best starter at home.

Magic # now at 4. Cards still .5 game back.

Here is a right-up on it...looks like Medlen, Minor then Teheran in that order. Maholm has been awful the last half of the season and Garcia is a proven veteran & has played well in his 2 starts with ATL.

Braves are now .5 back. Braves have 4 games remaining against Phils, Cards have a 3 game series against Cubs.

Braves are now tied with Cards. 3 games remain for both.

The good news is should both the Braves and Cards finish with identical records the Braves hold the tiebreaker.

Yup. Our magic # is 3 and theirs is 4. Hopefully their hated Rivals the Cubs can jump up and bite them in the arse.

Braves win a huge game against Cliff Lee 1-0. Cards are up 6-0 on Cubbies in the 5th.

Braves magic number is 2. If the Cards win their magic # is 3.

Braves need help from the Cubs and defeat Phils tomorrow to secure homefield.

Dodgers vs Braves starts Thursday. Time TBA.

Well. No home field.

[BigSammyK 171]

Well. No home field.

No home field if both the Braves and the Cards advance to the NLCS. However, if the Braves win the NLDS and the Reds/Pirates beat the Cardinals the Braves will have home field in that series.

Good to see the bats swinging a little, I think we played alright the last week of the season. Medlen looks dialed in and ready!

Did anyone see the shoving between TP and C. Johnson in the dugout the other night?

Heard on the radio this morning that they think Johnson hit TP with one of his patented 'helmet throws' in the dugout and TP went nuts...

Uggla was left off the playoff roster....

[BigSammyK 171]

Uggla was left off the playoff roster....

He was left off the NLDS roster. That does not mean that they can't put him back on should they advance to the NLCS.

What a fantatsic win for the Braves! Even better that they had to grind it out in the end. It'll build some confidence.

Kimbrel about gave me a heart attack though.

[augolf1716 21,130]

He can do that at times but still one of the best closers

[Bro Johnny Mac 1,394]

The Wallace State flash comes through in the clutch!Let's split in LA and win game five in the ATL. If we get the bats going,we can win it all.

[Bro Johnny Mac 1,394]

The term "must win game" is often overused,but not in our case for tonight's game....

[BornAU76 398]

I feel good about tonight. F. Garcia is starting, let's hope he has some stuff left for a W!

Quote from AJC: “I don’t panic,” Garcia said. “I just make pitch.”
