THAT is why you pay Trea Turner all that money. Clutch

Great DP. It looked as though the game was slipping away for the Phils in the bottom of the 8th

Dumbest post of the day.

Previous pitcher was butt ugly.

 

[Alphalion75]

Previous pitcher was butt ugly.

Grow up.

What a game! Topper proved the size of his cojones, as if there was any doubt. A seven-pitcher shutout in game 1 in Atlanta. All the pressure is on the Bravos on Monday.

 

[WestSideLion]

Let's hope Bryce is starting to heat up. They're due for a few Schwarbombs too.

So Wheeler goes Monday on six days rest. Nola goes Wednesday on seven days rest. Ranger goes on Thursday with five days rest (probably doesn't need it since he didn't go deep in the game on Saturday). All the bullpen guys get a day off on Sunday and should be fresh for Monday. Then they get another day off on Tuesday and should be fresh for Wednesday. If Wheeler goes deep in the game on Monday, this even sets up better.

Hats off to Topper and the staff for setting this up.

I dont watch a lot of baseball.....

But holy crap are baseball stat guys the best? Im not sure there's another sport where someone whips out a stat like how hitters do against a specific pitcher on an 0-2 count.
Wowsa....

So pumped to watch wheeler

 

[Grant Green]

Let's gooooooooooo Phils!

 

[Nits74]

Well, this is going quite swimmingly.

 

[LionJim]

Well, this is going quite swimmingly.

That’s quite the understatement.

Braves lack the mental toughness that the Phil's possess.

 

[Alphalion75]

Even Braves fans need to hope this ends up as a no-hitter. Making history here.

They let wheeler throw 110+ pitches im gonna be PISSED

 

[Relayer]

Phils have left 11 on through 7. Add in Trea's error, and this game is way closer than it should be.

 

[Nits74]

Sh#t

 

[Meat Lab]

Sh#t

Yep. Never easy.

 

[RyanSnyder]

Man, I thought the ump was about to give Pillar the walk there. He waited like two seconds before calling it strikeout for Alvarado.

 

[RyanSnyder]

Great work Jose. Huge getting out of that inning. 8th starts with the nine hitter too and not Acuna. Big.

Never mention the no-no.

 

[Relayer]

...and there it is. You can't let good teams hang around.

 

[RyanSnyder]

Man. That one hurts.

 

[RyanSnyder]

The Braves sure like playing with their lights. Feel like it's gone dark there every time they change a pitcher, home or away. Weird. I get it for your closer. But every pitcher?

 

[Mufasa94]

Braves lack the mental toughness that the Phil's possess.

Huh? There has been a one year gap since they won a WS.
