Bottom 4
Garcia still pitching, starting at pitch 71.
Swanson – pop up to Maldonado on first pitch. FO2.
Anderson – lines out to first on first pitch. L3.
— pitching change
Taylor pitching
Rosario – looks at strike 1, fouls FB down left field line 0-2, lines a high FB to left – single.
Freeman – strike 1, looks at strike 2, low ball 1, fouls – still 1-2, swings and misses at FB low and away.
End 4 Hou – 0 Atl – 1.
No feel for the breaking ball. Gotta think the weather affected him.
I would prefer the team not wait to score runs. I think this half inning would be a good time to start. They need to show they here to not just play defense.
Diaz or McCormick, depending on the circumstances
Marwin
Marwin.
Stop with the fucking fly balls.
This is just sad.
Didn’t Marwin break up a late inning no hitter?
When was Marwin’s last at bat?
Well that wasn’t a fly ball so thanks I guess.
Perfect game. In the 9th.
Last homestand of the regular season.
Hardest hit ball of the night.
Gonzalez didn’t get the memo.
Just not our night.
This isn’t a perfect game so you can’t possibly expect the same intensity of focus.
Top 5
Anderson pitching
Gurriel – looks at called strike FB on inside 0-1, low ball 1-1, F9 to shallow right.
Maldonado – breaking ball high 1-0, breaking ball low 2-0, L6.
Gonzalez pinch hitting for Taylor – strike 1, foul back 0-2, called strike 3 on pitch to low outside corner
Mid 5 Hou – 0 Atl – 1.
Yimi on the mound
At what point - after it’s been shitting down for a while and they carried on playing - can they call the game and award the Braves the win?
