I just realized Ynoa is out of the season. Well, my point still stands if Ynoa was still healthy. Plus Wright had playoff experience. One stellar and another big yikes. But he still has experience. I like it. To me this is his chance to show that he has a place on the roster moving forward. If we get the guy who pitched very well down the stretch in 20 then the he could make the case. If it is the guy who went into a shell when he got battered by the dodgers then he is making the case to be shipped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are they good breaking ball hitter 42 minutes ago, Unknøwn said: They hit a lot of things but they hit .290 against fastballs. They hit .270 against LHP, .266 against RH There was an article that mentioned that Houston as a lineup struggles against curveballs. We've got two going in the first two games. It was an ESPN article. I'll find and post. Edited October 26, 2021 by NashvilleFalcon01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to blow anyone away with his fastball at this point in his career, but he will get you to offer at the curve. That's a reasonably effective way to attack the Astros (just don't hang it)."

ATLBham Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 One thing about this series is that Braves have experience playing in Minute Maid Park last year in the NLDS. We need Soler and Duvall to come alive with their at-bats and the routine flyouts to the left will translate into homers. I'm really looking forward to this series. Let's get the job done!

Ghosts of Glanville Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Snit is now 18-13 in the postseason. . .Bobby Cox, legend and Hall of Famer he is, was 67-69. In other words Snitker is a pretty good manager Edited October 26, 2021 by Ghosts of Glanville TheTrue7 and NashvilleFalcon01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
