As a Cardinal fan, I tip my cap to Freddie Freeman.

Here we go. One run lead. Martinez in.

Unfortunately asked and unfortunately answered.

I wish Martinez would just go away.

Overall problem is hitting and has been all year. Martinez pattern seems to be put some guys on base, get the next 2 batters out, and then when you are hopeful...bam. 100% mental with him

Just think, Martinez wants to go back to our starting lineup next year. I'm not sure what I think about that.

Any team with an abundance of pitching prospects in your minor league system, please find John Mozeliak at the upcoming Winter meetings. Let's make a deal.

Yadi is so clutch. Martinez is so “keep your eyes closed.” Here we go. Let’s see what happens

Welp, 1st batter up nearly homers but settles for a double.

They dipped in for their closer an inning before we did. Plus the bottom of their lineup will be up and the top of ours will be up. Extra innings should be in our favor if it goes to it.

Just end it now.

Molina twice saved Mike Shildt from some head scratching decisions. Playoff baseball is really a game of inches.

Yeah, it's strategy, advanced stats, gut feelings and just plain luck. On to Atlanta.

That's why I love baseball

Game 5 should be a good one. Mikolas was scheduled to pitch, but he put in an inning today.

Go Braves

Flaherty gets the nod. If we can get a few runs before he gets pulled we got this.

With Carp still cold at the plate.....maybe we shouldn’t have him at 3rd...? His errors nearly cost us game 4.

Ouch! He can't stay this cold forever. Can he?! 2 - 16, 1 BB

Markakis 3-17, 1 BB
McCann 2-13, 1 BB
Donaldson 2-15, 2BB (Had a timely hit at least)

My Braves are struggling!

Good luck tonight, guys! May the winner of this series take it all!

Agree. Bench Carp. Pull Edman in from RF to third and stick Arozarena in right. Keep Bader on the bench also.
