How do we not have a Braves/Dodgers thread?

Well there'll be one Game Four in the NLDS anyway as the Braves survive Sunday night vs the Dodgers. Braves jumped out to a 5-0 lead on a Ronald Acuna 2nd inning Grand Slam, but blew the whole thing and needed 7 pitchers to secure the victory. A Freddie solo shot in the 6th was la difference. Braves had 4 hits on the night and the Dodgers left runners on 2nd & 3rd in the 9th. Fun stuff.

Because we mostly dislike both teams?

We don't need them to gain added accolades, attention, or revenue from long playoff runs. Also we haven't lost a playoff series to the Dodgers in decades. We still beat Utley.

Re: our talk a week or two back about how the Braves went virtually injury-free this year, they wound up losing SS Dansby Swanson to a hand injury in the closing days of the season making him out for this round at least and I think they may be paying the price on defense in this series v the Dodgers. There have been a couple of shots to get past fill-in Charlie Culberson (who's more an infielder playing short than he is a true SS) including a big 2-Out/2-RBI hit just now to put the Dodgers back on top.
