I understand this game was an upset based on being a bullpen game, but the analysts act like the Dodgers are head and shoulders better than the Braves. This year that hasn't really been the case. We're 6-2 against them so far. With Sale and Mahle lined up and rested, I think there's a better than 50/50 shot we win this series in Atlanta. We're definitely in the driver's seat, and I don't consider it an upset if we advance.

That's because on paper, or at least the eye-test, it's true. But you can pay for every elite all-star the game has, but it doesn't guarantee you're going to win.

Yes, on paper they should have beat us 10-1 but it doesn't play out like that, does it? That's a good thing LOL

Was it Smoltz talking about how having so many stars impacts the stars because they're seeing other guys do things they can't do for the first time and it makes them lose confidence? Interesting psychology.

idk about that, I think the Dodgers star hitters are just getting old

If he said it today, I missed it. I have been listening to the radio broadcasts because I've found it lowers my anxiety. Also, I try not to listen to anything Smoltz says. He's often wrong and usually being an asshole about it.

If I can start the game on time I may do that on Tuesday.

I have started keeping a scorebook in Braves postseason games because it helps calm my ADHD and nerves piling up

It was low key not fun watching at times in the past because my dumb brain got overwhelmed.

I fully encourage you to do it. Ben, Darren, and Joe do a fantastic job. Ben's calls are the best in baseball.

Oh I love our radio booth, I just usually don’t listen to them in the Postseason. Would if it was somehow embedded into my TV feeds like in regular season (MLB app)
