DirtyBird7000k 210 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) The Cardinals are scrappy, hard nosed team with very good pitching! They are tough to beat! And in Game 5 of the NLDS they are sure to give the Braves their best shot! But it is time for the Braves to seize the moment and simply no matter how hard the Cardinals hit them? Hit back even harder!!! Time to Refuse to Lose!!!!!

Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted October 8, 2019 I don't know how many of you know anything about NASCAR but back in the 90s Jeff Gordon's team had the same motto, Refuse to Lose. It worked out pretty well for them too as they won 4 championships in 7 years. 3 sdogg, NashvilleFalcon01 and DirtyBird7000k reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm really not too concerned about the pitching with the exception of few (looking at you Luke, Dallas and Teheran). It's the bats I'm most concerned about ( looking at you FF, Donaldson and Nick). If our bats can get hot and match our pitching right now, we will be in the WS. 2 NashvilleFalcon01 and ATL Fan in the DMV reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyBird7000k 210 Posted October 9, 2019 We have to have Freeman, Donaldson and Markakis to all produce if Acuna and Ozzie get on base! Swanson should be put in the 2nd spot and Ozzie moved to 6th or 7th! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only if McCann catches him again. Folty lived and died with his slider in game 2 and Flowers calls way too many fastballs and Folty's got one of the most hittable fastballs in baseball despite his velocity. 1 DirtyBird7000k reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCann hasn’t bought much with his bat this series but he is invaluable behind the plate!!! That being said Flowers has come up with plenty of clutch hits this year! I think he should have got a chance in Game 4 ! Edited October 9, 2019 by DirtyBird7000k 1 Falconsfan567 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyBird7000k 210 Posted October 9, 2019 The bottom line is if When Acuna and Ozzie get on base Freeman, Donaldson, And Duvall HAVE TO DRIVE THEM IN! Do not strand runners on base!!! 2 ATL Fan in the DMV and sdogg reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyBird7000k 210 Posted October 9, 2019 I have seen too many games like in Game 4?? Too many when defeat was taken out of the very jaws of victory ! The Braves have a long, hard playoff history and that dark shadow looms over us today like a storm cloud of long suffering and despair! 91 Lost to Minnesota Twins in WS 92 Lost to Toronto Blue Jays WS 93 Lost to Philadelphia in NLCS 95 WON WORLD SERIES vs Cleveland * remains to this day the city of Atlanta’s only professional Championship * ( Soccer does not count here) 96 Lost to Yankees in WS 97 Lost to Marlins in NLCS 98 Lost to San Diego in NLCS 99 Lost to Yankees (Again) in WS 00 Lost to Cardinals in NLDS 01 Lost to Diamondbacks in NLCS 02 Lost to Gaints in NLDS 03 Lost to Cubs in NLDS 04 Lost To Houston Astros in NLDS 05 Lost to Houston Astros again in NLDS ( this marked the end of what was one of the most remarkable runs in sports history, 14 straight division flags but only 1 Championship!) 10 Lost to Giants in NLDS 12 Lost to Cardinals in WildCard playoff game ( infield fly rule was botched) 13 Lost to Dodgers in NLDS 18 Lost to Dodgers in NLDS I Left off the key details from year to year but suffice it to say it hasn’t been easy being a die-hard Braves fan over the years! A lot of opposing teams have celebrated on our home field at both Fulton County and Turner Field! TODAY WE CAN START A NEW HISTORY! We can turn the page on the old and usher in the new!!! A age of Playoff Victories! Today in game 5 against the scrappy Cardinals will will not take another playoff L!!! WE WILL REFUSE TO LOSE!!! 2 LouDog and sdogg reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
