GDT 7/2/19: DK’s first home start

[Freshmaker]

During the pregame, Chip said:

"It's been a case of two Junes for these two clubs. Its been a June swoon for the Phillies, and a June boom for the Braves."

He grinned broadly afterwards

Rough strike one to acuna

Several rough strikes, but I won't complain as long as Keuchel gets them, too.

 

[The Tariff King]

Oh Chippy.

Freddie finnish for the year. Just that one June we got. Cherish and remember.

 

[salmagundy]

And Chip says, "Swanson is enjoying batting 2nd behind Acuna and Freeman".

 

[Freshmaker]

Air Acuna

 

[msstate7]

Well that was nice

 

[Enscheff]

LOL another jump ball 5' in front of the fence by Acuna.

 

[The Tariff King]

Didn't have to jump lol.

Crazy that ball went to warning track considering Bruce got jammed inside on the hands.

 

[msstate7]

Alright, don't like all the balls hit in the air

 

[jpx7]

Nice play by Acuña, but some hard hit first-pitch swings that inning against Keuchel.

 

[CyYoung31]

Chip: “Oh, man. LOOK at that vertical leap!”

Acuna May have jumped 2 feet off the ground.

 

[Freshmaker]

Keuchel at 20 pitches after 2 innings....that'll work

Doing every little thing he can to try and garner MVP votes, including making the routine look incredibly difficult

Keuchel at 20 pitches after 2 innings....that'll work

That is because they are fat pitches. Doesn’t look great right now imo.

 

[msstate7]

Good grief, if Nola keeps painting like that, we ain't gonna get much

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

A jump wasn't really necessary, but that was not five feet from out. To my eyes it was a lot more like 1-3 feet.

 

[salmagundy]

Good grief, if Nola keeps painting like that, we ain't gonna get much

Either the Fox strike box is way off or the Ump is missing a lot of pitches all over the zone.

 

[jpx7]

Pitchers must love seeing Riley come up when they're in the soup.

 

[Enscheff]

Riley guessed....poorly
