I have a single in 430 if anyone wants to buy it. Paid $319 plus the MLB fee… don't know what that is so I'll say $325 total. Let me know!

And yes, this is a sacrifice- staying away to do my part and not lengthen my 4-game WS losing streak!
Is that for tonight or potentially for tomorrow?


Duh, sorry. Game 6 tonight.

Braves remind of the Yankees. They crush FBs and have a hard time with spin.

Soler, Albies, Rosario, Pederson all jump on FBs and smoke them. They don't miss them.

I think Freeman is probably the only one who doesn't really have a glaring weakness.

Riley has been pretty lights out this series as well.

Looks like Mike found the same info I did yesterday.



Fried threw us junk last game and we chased too much of it.

Yes he has. Forgot to mention him.

Braves are a damn good team and like I said before this series started....They don't do anything exceptionally well but they do everything good. They're a well rounded club.

If you want to go to the game. Go to the game! It's the World Series. Don't take it for granted

If we just make the spin close the the zone, we'll get swings and misses. Too many have been well out of the zone.

I know it worked out for us in Game 5, but in my opinion the best strategy would be to avoid the game plan where we give up a first inning grand slam. You can only go with that strategy so many times before the opposing team catches on.

i also liked the game 5 strategy of scoring more runs than the opposition

You are wrong on multiple levels sir. What I do directly impacts wins and losses. I've personally gotten this organization this far

Secondly nothing about this series has been enjoyable. This might be the most aggravating, miserable baseball experience I've ever had. I'm an emotional wreck

Agree

We have had trouble this postseason putting guys away with 2 strikes. It was BAD in the ALCS and while it's improved some now it's still an issue.

I hate getting to 0-2 then seeing them walk a guy or getting in a deep count and giving up a hit.

So maddening.

This game obviously hinges on if I wore my lucky underwear, if I watch the game or not, and what side of the couch I sit on. You're just a Braves fan in disguise trying to jinx us into causing the Stros to lose.

What do all of your wives think of your at home superstitions. My wife will come in and out and ask if they play better depending on when she is in the room. She comments when I change where I sit, if I change clothes she always catches it and makes a comment and occasionally I ask her if she thinks I should change and if I do or do not she judges that decision

Marriage is such a fun little game

The girlfriend learned about the "lucky underwear" this postseason. Last postseason she was working out of state and didn't get to witness all my superstitions in their full fledged glory. Told her about the underwear and asked her how never noticed I wore it on date nights. She got on the bandwagon and started to humor some of them and join in.

But, that said... I wore it on game 4 and we lost. Guess its luck is not for baseball.

My wife thinks I'm ridiculous, but she has picked up that when I watch important games, my teams rarely perform. Didn't watch the Bama game. Didn't watch Game 2 or 5.

I have a weird feeling Maldy runs into one as well. I think that last game gave him some major confidence

I watched game 5 until the slam. Then turned it off. But kept sneaking peeks (actually reading the PBP) on MLB.com. Once the comeback started, I couldn't **** with the positive mojo, so I stayed there. Reading the PBP.

Don't know what I'll do tonight….

**edited to tell bearkatag15 that anything and everything you do CAN and WILL affect the game**

there is superstition and then there is just good, plain baseball acumen. Don't mess with the latter.
