I like how Smoltz just claimed that analytics-minded teams (in this case, the Dodgers) end up getting hoisted by their own petard, whereas the teams with the best rotations (also the Dodgers) end up winning the World Series.

Nice, two hits, except in front of the pitcher's spot and our bench is garbage.

Oh, here's Kurt Suzuki, that's our one good option I guess.

it would have to be an incentive heavy deal for the Dodgers to do it, and it seems like someone else would guarantee him 2 or 3 years

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
Do Smoltz and Costas derive any enjoyment from baseball other than complaining that it used to be better

The last time the Braves won the first game of a playoff series was also the last playoff series they won, against the Astros in the 2001 NLDS.

not much fun to watch this game unless you're a Dodgers fan, I was hoping for more chaos like the Rockies game.

Good job not scoring a single loving run idiots. This is supposed to be a moral victory playoff appearance but that doesn't work if you look like poo poo the entire time.
