In 2020, his wRC+ was 37 vs LHP and 172 vs RHP

I want Albies batting LH

David Laurila

11:35

Having no horse in this race, I want a scoreless bottom of the eighth so it's a one-run game going into the night. Maximize the drama.

Ariel Cohen

11:36

Love it!

Ariel Cohen

11:37

Great shot.

Ride Urias just like Charlie Morton closed it out for Houston a few years back . . . Urias is in the groove . . .

Cito's Mustache

11:37

If Urias runs into trouble in the 9th, is Jansen the one to come in and clean it up?

David Laurila

11:37

I think they do this.

Ariel Cohen

11:37

Joe Kelly?

11:38

Joe Kelly would be an interesting closer for tonight.

Zon

11:38

I think they'll roll with Julio and have 2 arms warming just in case.

Ariel Cohen

11:38

I'd imagine that.

Daniel

11:39

Dave has to stick with Urias here. Kershaw's never been great in relief. Kenley's pitched two days in a row and despite the last two nights, has had a shaky season. The rest of the Dodger bullpen has been beat up pretty badly this series.

2022 FA SSs in order: Lindor, Seager, Story, gap, Baez, big gap, Correa?

Eric A Longenhagen

11:39

I'd move the gaps up but otherwise think that's a fine order. I have concerns about Story's arm utility and think he may endup in the OF soon. Baez is the best athlete of the group and probably plays the longest.

Angel Hernandez

11:39

It would be a tad cruel to take out Hernandez ... but this seems like a situation for Rios

Eric A Longenhagen

11:40

agreed

Braves fan

11:41

I approve of leaving Urias in and letting Albies hit from the right side

sucramrenrut

11:42

Albies hit all 6 RS homers from the L side this year.

Daniel

11:42

You want to keep Hernandez in for his defense, in my opinion.

Eric A Longenhagen

11:42

He hit for Joc in the DH spot.

but ordinarily I'd agree with that

David Laurila

11:42

When the Dodgers were down big in the middle innings of game 2, my Twitter feed was filled with variations of "they're in deep sh-t; they're choking again; they're done."

Jess

11:43

If you're the braves, who do you have as your 9th inning pitcher if you get there?

Ariel Cohen

11:43

Will Smith?

Ariel Cohen

11:43

Would be cool to see Will Smith vs Will Smith for the game in the bottom of the 9th.

Eric A Longenhagen

11:44

great throw by Pache to make that somewhat close

he was shaded to left center

Ariel Cohen

11:45

Nobody is throwing in the Dodgers' bullpen.

This will be Julio Urias' game to finish.

Urias it is.

David Laurila

11:46

Am I expected to have a hunch right around now?

Snape Killed Dumbledore

11:46

Better SS prospect in 2 years: Cristian Hernandez or Ed Howard?

Eric A Longenhagen

11:46

I have more confidence in Howard's contact skills so I'll say him.

Travis L

11:46

Pache has really shown up as a big leaguer this postseason. We've now seen the strong defense, the plate discipline, and the power show off. Shouldn't there be more excitement about this guy?

Eric A Longenhagen

11:46

I mean, I've got him stuffed. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2020-in-season-prospect-...

Anyone else rooting for extra innings simply because they don’t want this great series to end?

Ariel Cohen

11:47

Dodgers are 84% to win.

Craig

Nice to read about your views on Pache or some other prospect then see them in person and think oh yeah I see what they meant
