Big thunderstorm line running through SW Ohio, if I disappear, it's probably just my internet and I'm not dead.

As a dodgers fan I’m definitely worried about the Braves pitching

Paul Sporer

8:30

The pen is filthy. Looove Fried, too. He was a big breakout pick of mine for fantasy baseball this year

LFC Mike

8:30

If the thought of a Boom Stick hot dog makes you queasy. Take a look at one presented in all its glory.. or gory-ness

Paul Sporer

8:30

Oh I've seen it

Jim Stewart

8:31

As a Braves fan, I'm worried about Fried throwing 25 pitches in the 1st inning.

Paul Sporer

8:32

Anytime a pitcher eclipses 25, it's a concern, but we routinely see a rough 1st inning feel like it's going to lead to a shortened outing and then they settle in for 6-7 strong innings

Def good for LAD even if they don't score, though

The whiffff

Jim Stewart

8:32

Agree. Watched Glavine do it for years.

Dan Szymborski

8:33

I'd be happy to have the 1-0 lead, but as Braves, not so happy it took Fried 28 pitches.

Fried being to be able to go deep in two games is something they really need in seven games.

8:34

Either they're going to have to do a lot of short rest starts

or they'll need likely a Bryse Wilson start *and* a bullpen game

Hugh Duffy

8:36

Fried was definitely amped up for the inning. Fried rarely touches 97 unless he's overthrowing his fastball, and he did that a few times that inning.

Guest

8:36

"Max Fried" seems like a pretty great name for a concession stand at Truist Field specializing in French Fries, Funnel Cakes, and other fine fried foods.

Burch

8:36

Frieds spin rate and break on that curve is filthy. I love it. I do not love 26 pitches

Paul Sporer

8:37

1st inning always the toughest. 2nd will be key for Fried

Laura

8:41

Duvall looks like he's in pain

Guest

8:41

That’s an oblique strain. He’s not gonna be back this series.

ZScott

8:42

why not Pache?

Wood

8:42

Pache time tho

Hugh Duffy

8:42

Not the ideal way for Pache to get his first postseason at bat.

Lzfreak

8:42

Well I guess we'll get to see Pache...

Logan

8:43

How much of the first inning often being toughest for SPs is just a product of necessarily facing the opposing team’s best hitters?

Paul Sporer

8:43

A major part of it

Deathstar Graterol

8:45

Since Braves beat Marlins, have they now inherited the “never lose postseason series” magic?

Dan Szymborski

8:45

I'm not sure how the magic is transmitted

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

8:46

...are we really still calling things "sissy" in 2020?

Llewelyn

8:46

I firmly believe that Buehlers super tight pants hinder his range of motion

Dan Szymborski

8:46

We should probably go with a word these days that doesn't have a sexual orientation link.

Wimpy? Wussy? We still need ways to be mean to each other, but in egalitarian ways!

Paul Sporer

8:46

Ya it's not great. I get the context that he's trying to convey by saying that blisters are decidedly not lame or weak even though they seem insignificant. Not a great word choice, though

Dan Szymborski

8:47

I don't think it's a Thom Brennaman thing though.

Though I'd avoid the word.

Guest

8:47

Christian Pache now has a career 347 wRC+, making him even better than Arozarena.

Deathstar Graterol

8:47

superhero pants. They anchor him

Hugh Duffy

8:47

I thought we were avoiding magic transmission this season -- that's why we have all the protocols.

Paul Sporer

8:48

Ooooook... I twitter searched sissy to see if people were talking about Smoltz and immediately regretted it. Do not do that.

Dan Szymborski

8:48

Nonsense, do you think MASKS WOULD HAVE STOPPED GANDALF?

Connecting…
