Seems like a jerk move not to let McCann get a final PA in front of this home crowd. Had a great Braves career.

Craig Edwards

8:18

Fair, but I think it is more important to get Flowers an AB, maybe?

Wire Fan

If the next 10 Braves reach, they can get the tying run to the plate.

Craig Edwards

8:19

.32^10. Odds not good.

Belli Flop

8:19

I was actually looking forward to a potential McCann ovation

Craig Edwards

8:19

i guess I'll defer to you guys then.

And there it is.

8:20

The game is over and the Cardinals are the first team to advance to the NLCS.

Belli Flop

8:20

Cardinals move on and prepare to fly to Los Angeles?

Craig Edwards

8:21

They are staying in Atlanta tonight. They don't know if they are flying home or to LA just yet.

Dana

8:22

Who pitches in relief for Strausberg tonight?

Craig Edwards

8:22

Sanchez, Corbin, Doolittle and Hudson.

8:23

Flaherty, when asked about the next opponent. Gestures toward his celebrating teammates and says, "I'm not gonna watch that game. We'll figure that out later."

Belli Flop

8:23

Scherzer is theoretically available for an inning as well

This is Lude-i-cris

8:23

Or Strasburg May just go until his arm falls off. If this isn’t what they’ve been saving him for then I give up

FINAL in Atlanta: StL 13 - 1 ATL. Thanks Kiley and Craig for chatting!

Craig Edwards

8:25

Thanks to all of you who stuck with it. Dan and Nick will be shortly to discuss the next game which should provide more excitement, I hope.

Wire Fan

8:26

How big an underdog will StL be to either of the other teams? Especially with Flaherty potentially only starting 1 game unless the series goes 7.

Dan Szymborski

8:26

And Craig's prophecy has been fulfilled.

Craig Edwards

8:26

They were at 48% to win today and 16% to advance to the World Series so somewhere around 33-40%

Dan Szymborski

8:27

Probably good that I didn't chat this game as Craig would probably be exhausted with my Shildt-Flaherty frustration.

Craig Edwards

8:27

Dan is probably in a better position to answer that and many questions, so I'm bowing out.

Dan Szymborski

8:29

I believe that ZiPS will have the Cards as an underdog against either team, but I don't want to give any grand pronouncements until after the game, when I write up my preview while running the projections!

Morbo

8:30

Most anticlimactic post season advance I've ever seen

Nick Dika

8:30

Fingers crossed this one isn't as much of a laugher as ATL/STL.

8:31

But also fingers crossed there's as many bat tosses into right field.

Dan Szymborski

8:32

Hi Nick!

Nick Dika

8:32

Hey Dan!

Belli Flop

8:33

Dan, I am planning on having pizza for dinner. What type of sandwich is that?

Dan Szymborski

8:33

It's begun.

It's not. I think there was something in a Bad Lip Reading about using a pizza as a sandwich

8:35

Found it!

8:36

It's sad that I have encyclopedic knowledge of things like this.

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

8:36

Hey wait a second there's a fantasy writer in my real baseball chat! This is a place for MS paint images, what is and is not a sandwich, and discussion on the best beans to use in chili recipes.

Nick Dika

8:36

Those are all things fantasy writers have MORE time for.

Dan Szymborski

8:36

Nick, I think you're replying in line to the questions, not in the chat

Wire Fan

8:36

If you cut off all the edges of a calzone, is it a sandwich?

Dan Szymborski

8:36

No stop it!

Dystopian Future

8:36

How did you feel about that first game Dan?
