Another long start by an NL pitcher.

I hope Morton is okay and can return later in the series.

Stupid comment, Josh. Morton was injured. Valdez has no excuse.

From the guy who accused Scherzer of quitting on his team and derided Biles.

Solid game by both bullpens, given the short outings by starters. Morton's injury would seem likely to hurt Atlanta in ways that Valdez's rapid exit will not hurt Houston (as we saw in the last series for them). Houston can only hope that they see the same kind of turnaround from him!

Can the Braves' bats keep going?

Morton's fractured leg could prove to be THE difference in this series.

Per SI.COM, Kyle Wright or Drew Smiley could be who has to replace him.

Looking for maybe Touki Toussaint (3-3, 4.50, 1.30)

Don't give Braves the "Ohhh, but we lost Morton" crutch.

 Factor this in to the pitching over the next few days. MLB hates rainouts. They'll make them play.

There's nothing in that weather forecast that should preclude their playing. Showers tomorrow night, not a deluge. And Saturday night has no rain in it.

EXACTLY the problem for the pitching staffs, josh. NO DELUGE. A deluge would allow a reset for the team's staffs, but those rain delays that are likely would cause more use/overuse of the BPs.

So, when I wrote that you should factor this in to the pitching over the next few days, I thought anyone with a modicum of understanding of what is really going on in this series would get that.

Apparently, you're not someone who knows what is really going on in this series.

Shohei Ohtani, Bryce Harper, Max Scherzer and Robbie Ray highlighted the list of those who claimed Players Choice Awards for the 2021 season. The awards, announced Thursday on ESPN, are presented by the Major League Baseball Players Association and are voted on by the players themselves.

Ohtani and Ray were named Outstanding Player and Outstanding Pitcher, respectively, for the American League, while Harper and Scherzer claimed Outstanding Player and Outstanding Pitcher for the National League, honors similar to the MVP and Cy Young awards that are voted on by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

I think the MLBPA should vote on Outstanding Baseball Writer of the Year.

I don't think the predicted possible showers will even get them a rain delay during the game tonight, Ham. And no rain during game time on Saturday or Sunday.

You missed my point altogether.

I think you are flat wrong about its being a significant factor unless the forecast changes or is in error.

And why every little disagreement means the other party must not understand what is going on in whatever scenario you are discussion, in your never humble opinion, is illuminating. Speaking of people who can never let go of a thing.

Cold is the key.

50s, maybe even 40s all three days

10mph winds as well today and tomorrow

Advantage - BRAVES.  But wont be enough

Wow.  Nice to see Bryce get the respect of the players in the league.

My guess is he doesnt get the actual MVP
