I had mixed feeling when Anderson got pulled. We are seeing a new type of game evolve. I understand that winning is the goal, and the dreaded 3rd time through must be avoided, but...

Coincidently I was at the Lonborg 1-hitter G2 '67 WS, sitting in right-center, when Julian Javier doubled in the 8th and thought "shit there goes the no-hitter".

Even more coincidently I saw Ian Anderson in November 1969. He sucked, he didn't have his good stuff. Although to be fair the '21 Braves are better than the '69 Jethro Tulls.

My wife made a Tull reference last night and I missed it, because I'm thick as a brick.

Although maybe when she pointed out that you had, "snot running down your nose" it may not have been a Tull reference?

heh

The real shocker is that someone married such a pedantic tool as Josh.

The real question is whether Ham can figure out why this stupid attack won't get him in trouble, compared with his comments that did.

His prior protestations would suggest not, but maybe he'll surprise us.

According to a survey by Sports Business Journal, MLB's average fan age is 57, which is far higher than that of the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), and National Hockey League (NHL), whose average ages are 42, 50 and 49 respectively.


Game is in trouble.

Maybe a great player - or 2 of them on the same team - will bring fannies back.

Dylan Lee walked just SIX batters all season, vs 57 K

...as Brantley walks

Trump cannot tell the truth about almost anything:

"He called MLB and wanted to come to the game. We were very surprised. Of course, we said yes."



Of course.

Had his own suite.

Likely gratis.

Riley's a monster.

I liked the matchup for Houston.  No knocking Dusty here.

Should Astros bench Alvarez tomorrow?

Let us know when you're done trying to bait me like you've been doing for the last few weeks, pedantic one.

Wow - Dusty took out Gurriel

[Hamilton Samuels]

Cristian Javier. Any relation to Jose Mesa?

[kidcarter8]

Dusty wasnt ready for that first HR.  Pitcher wasnt warm.

You think that's baiting?

More likely, you just don't have an answer.

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

https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Atlanta+GA?canonicalCityId=508c6a2d4ca8386de1772c4316073b1448fb270ee2d264d01c7b2a4b33073688

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.

Cold is the key.

50s, maybe even 40s all three days

10mph winds as well today and tomorrow

Advantage - BRAVES.  But wont be enough

https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Atlanta+GA?canonicalCityId=508c6a2d4ca8386de1772c4316073b1448fb270ee2d264d01c7b2a4b33073688

Good game for the Braves!

And thank the gods that they managed to overcome those rain delays and that vicious wind.

The advantage to the Braves of the weather may not be enough, but better to be up 2-1 than down.

The rain and wind continue to play hob with the games, but the Braves have managed to get to 3-1 up.

As we all know, that is no guarantee. The Braves know that. The Astros know that.

But it sure is an advantage!
