I'm not sure we were going to with him, so this is a HUGE blow
Fellow Braves Fans.....

- Start date
If it's his tibia, he's definitely out. I heard fibula. He could theoretically pitch with a small fracture in the fibula with tape and a shot like my hero Jack Youngblood for the Rams in the late 70s
I thought before Morton went out the Braves needed to split in Houston and go back to Atlanta 1-1 to have a shot. I think they have to win both games in Houston now. I just don't know if they can do it 1-1 and definitely not down 0-2.
Minter pitched great again. 2.2 innings of relief. One run allowed. Probably zero if not for the Swanson error. Odorizzi is fabulous in relief for the Astros.
I'm honestly not sure which it is, but they said he is definitely out for the season but should be back for spring training

Charlie Morton Fought Through Broken Leg To Strike Out José Altuve
Charlie Morton left his start in Game 1 of the World Series early, but an injury update from the Braves makes his effort unbelievable.

That comes from years of being a Braves fan! i understand!!
38 years man. Heart has been broken time and time again.
Think I went to my first game in 1980. I still remember like it was yesterday. We were down 3 in the bottom of the 9th with two outs and the bases loaded. Bruce Benedict batting. drove one to straight away center that the center fielder caught up against the wall.
It's going to be tough but we can do this. Game 2 may be the biggest game in Braves history.
This is going to be an uphill battle that is libel to give me a coronary. If we get Mad MAX tomorrow I like our chances in ATL.
2-0 would definitely feel better that 1-1, but I dont think I can even come close to being relaxed
unless we are up 3-1
unless we are up 3-1
I won't be relaxed unless we win the whole damn thing brother!
Kind of feels like hope to God that we win game 2 and then may have to just hang on for dear life. May have to call the old doc for a Xanax refill and oh yeh double the dose
Need Fried to show up big time tonight. Give them 6 or even 7 innings. Hopefully the same thing with Anderson. Game 4 was going to be a bullpen game anyway. If those 2 guys can give you that then you are in much better shape for game 4. Would be nice to not need Minter till game 4 and let him start that one. Give you 3 innings then hand it off.
Game 5 is where it would get tricky. This would be Charlie's normal spot. I know this sounds crazy, but I would love to see Spencer Strider start game 5. Let's feed the Astros some 101 MPH fastballs along with his slider.
Of course, it wouldn't hurt my feelings for there not to be a game 5.😀 CHOP ON!

Charlie Morton threw 16 pitches on a broken leg -- and then apologized it wasn't more
Atlanta's ace defied pain tolerance and set the tone for his team by pitching until his leg gave out. Here's why his postgame message to teammates was "I'm sorry."
Hope we stay patient at the plate and don’t start swinging for the fences every pitch
That was a 4 run f up! That’s what that was. Shoulda been a double play to end the inning…
I’d say we still got a shot but with the strike zone the way it is tonight I’m not feeling it lol
