7/4/17 GDT Thread: Welcome back Freddie!!!

[Hawk]

The radio announcers are fawning over Freeman's arm.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

Astros announcers are so much better than ours

 

[Freshmaker]

The question is does a more experienced 3B get a glove on that? It was hit pretty hard.

Yeah it really was hit hard and hit the chalk. Unless you're right on the line I don't see how anyone gets to it

 

[nsacpi]

maybe camargo knocks it down and saves a run

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Newk not commanding 2 strike pitches well. Way too much in the meat of the plate for being up 0-3.

 

[50PoundHead]

Camaro=Camargo, spellcheck? Seriously, I had the same question.

Camaro has better wheels.

 

[Freshmaker]

Aaaaand Springer with a jack

 

[USMA76]

Boy, it didn't look like that was hit hard enough to leave the yard. This place really is a bandbox.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

This park is a little ridiculous to right field. That was a pop up to almost right center.

 

[Enscheff]

We are seeing what usually happens with belt high pitches.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Good changeup from Newcomb. What the hell Phillips.

Eye test says nobody makes that play. Defensive stats may say differently though.

 

[USMA76]

Lackadaisical effort by Phillips combined with amazing speed by Altuve leads to a baserunner.

Yeah, it would have been a routine flyball at the Ted. It really shouldn't have even been a HR here. That ball had no business carrying like it did. It's HRs like that whice give credibility to the pitchers saying the balls are juiced.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Newcomb has thrown his change up a few times this inning.

 

[USMA76]

Astros announcers are absolutely unafraid to tell everyone how good their team is. I guess you can do that when you have the best record in the majors.

Heck, looking at how well their lineup and random starters are producing, I can't blame them. I hope we don't get swept.

 

[striker42]

Correa is ridiculously good. He hit a really good pitch there.

Yea but unfortunately everything he got away with facing those theee sh*tty teams is getting
Banged by this high profile offensive team. He's gotta learn another pitch...it's that simple

Their lineup is legit. The performances they're getting from some guys in their rotation is more flukish luck.
