Braves Face Play-Off Elimination Tonight
It’s do or die, down to the wire: pick your cliché. The Atlanta Braves must win tonight against the Los Angeles Dodgers to stay alive in the post-season.
13-6 last night. In a word: ouch.
The Braves have to bring it home tonight just to get the chance to bring it back home to the Ted.
Sports marketer I.J. Rosenberg says he hasn’t given up yet, but he also thinks that everybody needs to be realistic. Rosenberg considers the Dodgers to be the best team in baseball. “Offensively, they’re very, very strong,” says Rosenberg. Pitching, you know, their top two, they are extremely deep. They’ve got a good bullpen. And this is a club that played about as good as baseball as you could play from July until the end of the season.”
Rosenberg says the Braves need to score early and score often because he thinks the Dodgers’ pitching firepower puts the Bravos at a distinct disadvantage.
Freddie Garcia is on the mound tonight for the Braves; Ricky Nolasco is scheduled to be the starting pitcher for the Dodgers.
Game four of the series starts tonight in Los Angeles at 9:30 p.m. EDT.
