Dodgers vs. Braves NLDS Game 1 - 10/4/18

[derrickm]

I'm 4-0 so far, so let's start this 2018 postseason journey off right! First victim: the Atlanta Braves. Lots of talented youngsters on that Braves team, but I'm banking on experience winning out. I want to call a sweep, but I think the Braves sneak one in there. Dodgers in 4!

Haven't seen lineups yet, but the 25 man was released:

Starting pitchers (4):: Walker Buehler, Rich Hill, Clayton Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu

Relief pitchers (8): Scott Alexander, Pedro Baez, Caleb Ferguson, Dylan Floro, Kenley Jansen, Ryan Madson, Kenta Maeda, Alex Wood

Catchers (2): Austin Barnes, Yasmani Grandal

Infielders (6): Brian Dozier, David Freese, Kiké Hernandez, Manny Machado, Max Muncy, Justin Turner

Outfielders (5): Cody Bellinger, Matt Kemp, Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig, Chris Taylor

Read an interesting stat on Buehler’s ERA when pitching to Grandal vs. Barnes:

1.94 in 106.2 innings with Grandal
4.99 in 30.2 innings with Barnes

I wonder if they will take that into consideration when the season ends.

Rox-Brew: Right field ump has one call all game and blows it.

Horrible AB from Story chasing 3 straight pitches out of the zone after the Rocks tie the game.

Wow, then Story air mails a throw on a routine grounder but Desmond tags the runner. Is the stage too big for him?

...and NY will not overrule their own, when the replay showed no tag ahead of touching first base.

Dodger crowd needs to step up the amplitude.
