I assume Trevor Bauer gets the start for Cincy. He seems very easy to dislike. He was whining a while back about risking his life to play baseball.

He was already known for saying "i'm good at two things: ‘throwing baseballs and pissing people off’.

Hey, if we sign him, I'll consider him a likable guy who was just misunderstood.

But first, he's gotta lose on Wednesday.

Another annoying thing about this short season, is the playoff games will be starting very early because a bunch have to get played and there are very minimal days off.
Wednesday's Game 1 for this series, will be noon on ESPN. I'm going to have to record & watch later and stay away from my phone and ESPN.

Braves always play early and I remember always hearing fans of other teams making fun of us because the games never sold out.

Same with game 2 - 12:08 PM on Thursday. If game 3 is needed, it's at 3:08 on Friday. I'll have to sneak peaks from work.
Are they still using the 10th inning rule - starting with a man on 2nd?

Just looking at Bauer's stats this season - absurdly good - allowed only 58 base runners in 73 innings - and had 100 k's. It'll make beating him feel all the more special.

No score in the 6th. Braves had a runner at 3rd with 1 out in the 6th, Ozuna popped out to catcher and d'Arnaud struck out.

I've only seen the 10th inning - but the Braves batters are getting themselves out - swinging at pitches clearly outside the strike zone. I can pitch in the majors if the batters promised to swing at the pitches the Braves are swinging at.
