Me every time Tyler Flowers is the starting catcher

 

[kg01]

At this point i think the Twins sweep the Braves

I want my money back, YJF. You promised a sweep.

Honestly, it should've been a sweep ... of the Twins by the Braves.

This roller coaster ride is making me a bit crazy, but here I go ...
(If) the starting rotation of Soroka-Fried-Keuchel-Julio-Folty continues the good work and the offense gets back on-track (ala the last two nights), even with our mediocre bullpen I still think it's Braves-Dodgers in the NLCS !

The Atlanta Braves will place outfielder Austin Riley on the injured list with a knee ligament injury, manager Brian Snitker told reporters Wednesday.

Riley was injured while working out in the weight room before Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Minnesota Twins. The severity of the injury was unknown.

I think the Braves will beat the Cubs in 4 games in the NLDS and make to the NLCS against the Dodgers

I’m not sure who the position player will be if not Alex Jackson, that has to be called up for Riley(Duda, is only on a minor league contract and would need a spot cleared on the 40 man). We currently have 13 pitchers, 11 position guys.

Jake, I think you hit the five and I’m not certain of the order Snit. will go with. He may not know yet, because we don’t know how the next 46 games will go for the starters.
In a perfect world, with RH/LH to alternate, who has pitched well this season and based on previous MLB experience factored in:
Keuchel, Soroka, Fried, Folty; Tehran(long man, spot starter, can give us a decent five innings).

Cubs, Dodgers, are more vulnerable to LH pitching.

The Braves could call up LF Rafael Ortega from Gwinnett he's hitting .288 right now with 21 homers and 58 runs batted in

They would have to DFA someone off the 40 man to add Ortega. Jackson, only position player on the 40, in the Minor Leagues.

My prediction for KG this weekend, starting early tonight with big Dallas Keuchel-Braves will take 3 out of 4 from the Fishies. Best bet is Julio taking the Marlins down to the schoolyard on a big hook Friday night. He’s like 3-0 this year with them, with a minuscule ERA. Bet the jail bail bondsman payments on that one. Lol.

I can't see the Marlins beating the Braves in the series

It’s been said take 2/3 at home, and play .500 ball on the road.
The Marlins are the exception....play .750 ball at their hole.

The Marlins starting rotation has given the Braves some trouble this season, I'm with Buzz on this one, I'll gladly take 3/4 and a series win !

 

[Buzzbomb]

They just recently called up a few young hopefuls. Sometimes that reenergizes a ball club, like having a new manager.
I’m being liberal, because if we are going to be a WS contender, these are the teams to do better than 2-2 against.
Factoring in no Swanson, Kakes, Webb-we still need to go 3-1 vs. 42-71(.372 %).

I was always an "on-the-fence" Bobby Cox fan, but I did like his stance on the long baseball season ... if you win more series than you lose, you'll stay in contention for the post season.

 

[Buzzbomb]

Speaking of Cox, glad to hear he’s doing better.
Does this manager remind you of him?
To me, they represent players first, in trust and with the media. Organizational guys.
