NLCS- Dodgers v Braves

[McCroskey 1481]

Ump all of a sudden calling these edge of the zone pitches is a problem, though I don’t yet know who it will benefit.

The same pitches shouldn’t be a ball in the early innings and a strike late. But I guess, baseball.

[Brew 2917]

He has definitely opened it up, nothing on the edges was called earlier.

[McCroskey 1481]

Great job Martin. Now just don’t throw anything down the middle to Bellinger.

[ztejas 42744]

Martin working the zone real well.

And yeah - lol - that was a little outside for a strike there, ump.

Yea the zone is getting a bit of a belly

[LTtxfan 48688]

Bellinger fouling 2 off... Professional at bat

[shadow_operative2.0 15669]

Yeah he’s all over the place with his strike zone.

BELLY!!!

[Surly Bevo 24247]

That ball just landed in Dallas....way to make Arlington proud there Martin

[Sbbruin 21567]

He got all of that.

[ztejas 42744]

This game is like sex. Or really good cocaine.

[McCroskey 1481]

Right down the fucking middle.

[ztejas 42744]

Quiet little 0-3 strikeout there to end the inning. Still a lot of baseball to be played.

Right now, Dodgers having more MLB at bats -- Braves not so much.

Hell of an at bat by Bellinger!!! 💥

[Sbbruin 21567]

My heart is about to give out.

[mdleast 8016]

Pretty good little night out here watching the ballgame.

You sure it has landed yet...  🤔

[McCroskey 1481]

Braves need to plate about 6 this inning to have any chance.

2 runs might be enough??

[Sbbruin 21567]

Did he really dislocate his shoulder?

[ztejas 42744]

Bellinger looks like the douchey "badguy" in a raunchy 80s high school comedy.

Plate just means get up to bat, right? They could technically plate 6 and not score.

[WBT 20131]

Freddie was limping pretty bad

[McCroskey 1481]

Do we get a big Braves hit? After a season of them?

[McCroskey 1481]

Plate just means get up to bat, right? They could technically plate 6 and not score.

I thought it meant run scored...that’s what I meant anyways.

Oh haha. I have not been watching baseball all that long. Thought you were speaking to strategy - you were going for exaggeration.

[Surly Bevo 24247]

You make a plate appearance (official baseball statistic) when you come up to bat (whether that PA counts as an at bat or not is a whole other thing)

You "plate" a run (baseball jargon often just shortened to something like "we really need to plate a couple here this inning")

[GSU&UT 1798]

And this is all why I've said that any Atlanta sports team that wins a championship will happen after I die. There is no justice in the sports world.

[Sbbruin 21567]

Let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Idk man the Hawks have been building something special for like 40 years now

Get in line

[WBT 20131]

Where were the OFers playing?  That ball hung up forever.

[McCroskey 1481]

Braves down to last 3 outs. Man it’s been a fun season.

 

Maybe they can generate some magic and keep it going.

[Brew 2917]

Time for Swanson/Riley to redeem their base running blunders. 

[shadow_operative 15931]

time for Ozzie Albies to go yard. 

[Sbbruin 21567]

I feel sick to my stomach

My condolences... waited over 30 years for one of my team's World Series Championships, and over 50 years for another team's World Series Championships.

Wondered if either would happen in my lifetime...

(Have always liked the Braves, but not one of my teams)

Good series. Damnit.

[Beau Vine 53625]

Should be a great WS.  

[ztejas 42744]

2020 wouldn't be complete without the Dodgers winning the World Series. 

[Surly Bevo 24247]

Urias looks like the kind of dude you want in a fight with you....be hiding a knife and sneak up on somebody and cut their throat

[Brew 2917]

Motherfucker. Never expected them to be here with their starting pitcher issues, but it still sucks when they should have had it.

[Sbbruin 21567]

Oh FUCK YEAH!!!   DODGERS BABY!!!

Benny the Jet Rodriguez is looking down from somewhere smiling.

You just made me angry again that the Lakers won the NBA this year. 

[Pato del Muerto 51914]

Yipee I get to watch the dodgers in the series again. Totally not boring at all.

Yep. I’m all in. Playoff baseball is definitely underrated. I’d rather watch playoff baseball than playoff basketball if I don’t have a team involved.

Either LA or Tampa get two championships in 2 months.

Hope so,

But the experience on the Dodgers makes them a heavy favorite, probably win the World Series in 5 games...
