I have been let down by this team so many times over the years that I won't be able to enjoy it until the fourth win is in the books. I have seen them blow 3-1 series leads before.

It is surreal to have a direct rooting interest in the WS. Hasn't happened since 2002, and not by the Braves since 1999.

Just end the World Series already so we can get to making up incredibly stupid free agent scenarios for 4 months.

Any time you can be mentioned in the same breath as Dusty Rhodes and Ed Sprague you know you've done something incredibly random on a baseball field

[CaliAngel]

Talk about throwin a jab and haymaker in 2 at bats to take the late lead and shock the cheatin' asterisks for a WS victory! 

What a game.

[tdawg87]

Would be so amazing to see Trout and Ohtani do something like that, but you know.

Just LOL at the Braves winning a bullpen game against the Cheaters in the WS.

Other than Jackson’s meltdown in NLCS game 6, have the key Braves relievers given up any runs at home in the post-season?

Even Jackson has had two straight 1-2-3 innings, putting the game 6 meltdown behind him.

Tonight, another Braves reliever with limited MLB innings this season as the opener 

Then Smyly for 4 innings?

Minter could go for 2 innings, didn’t pitch last night.

And finally Matzek 8th inning and Smith 9th inning 

Go Braves!  Send the Cheaters to an unhappy off-season!

7-0 at home in the post-season, crazy!

I am also waiting to see what announcement that the Athletics make after the series about moving or not. People on the inside here believe that it's just a matter of them saying where the ballpark will be built in Las Vegas, but I'm not counting it as being done until it is.

Is there any other place in the world that has higher asphalt to tree ratio than Las Vegas?

Tonight's game starts at 5:15 on Fox.

Davidson is a starter.

Face!

The Braves should trade for Salvador Perez to extend Travis d'Arnaud's carrier.

Must have missed a lot of the season then.   Only 43 innings between MiLB and MLB, and likely hasn’t pitched in quite a while.

Yes, he was injured.  He's still a starter, though.

[Angel Oracle]

Smyly is still available to go at least 3-4 innings, if Davidson struggles.

If the Howard Terminal gets done and the A’s stay in Oakland, do you think the Rays relocate to Las Vegas?
