GDT 10/8 NLDS Game 3: Get the brooms ready

[Carp]

I'm following on gameday. Why didn't we score on the flyout?

 

[MadduxFanII]

Pierzynski doing a genuinely good job explaining how tough that play is for d'Arnaud.

 

[striker42]

There are two parks where that's not a hit, this one and Fenway. Nowhere else is the LF close enough to catch it.

 

[jsebe10]

I really don't get that AB from Duvall. Guy walks two straight batters and Duvall is swinging at crap out of the zone.

Because he’s an all or nothing dead pull hitter. He’s got no approach or discipline...when that luck runs out for those types of hitters it’s bad. Really bad.

 

[Super]

my lord give me anyone over Riley.

 

[jsebe10]

Duvall needs to be out of the fckn lineup. He’s had zero impact. Only reason he’s in there is because we’ve been winning and Snit doesn’t want to mess up the vibe...

According to Buck Showalter we won the inning though with the pitch count

 

[msstate7]

Duvall should be the one hitting 9th

 

[UNCBlue012]

That was a beyond terrible inning for the Braves. It doesn't matter who's pitching, you have to get a run or two there. That's awful discipline for Atlanta.

 

[atl717]

This offense isn't going to get it done against good teams. Their pitching has carried them, but it's been terrible situational hitting and consistently bad ABs outside of 1 game.

The play was very close to being a single and TdA didn't think it would be caught.

I thought it was a sure hit off the bat

 

[chop2chip]

Bad luck. Two smoked balls.

Sixto looks bad today. We will score runs

 

[msstate7]

my lord give me anyone over Riley.

3/7 in the series with a walk

 

[thewupk]

That was a beyond terrible inning for the Braves. It doesn't matter who's pitching, you have to get a run or two there. That's awful discipline for Atlanta.

Neck hit it 104 MPH. Riley hit it 105 MPH.

 

[striker42]

These announcers are acting like Sanchez is a god. He's looked terrible.

Duvall K'd swinging at junk not even close to the plate. One of the worst ABs of his career.

Markakis smoked the ball to left and it only was caught because we're playing in one of the worst designed parks in baseball.

And Riley is perhaps the worst hitter in professional baseball.

 

[striker42]

Neck hit it 104 MPH. Riley hit it 105 MPH.

The Fish are one of the luckiest teams in baseball this year.

 

[Tapate50]

I thought it was a sure hit off the bat

100%.

 

[MadduxFanII]

I mean, Markakis worked himself into a good count and hammered the ball the opposite way, while Riley took a two-strike fastball and smoked it up the middle. Duvall was terrible, naturally, but two guys just had bad luck at an inopportune time. Everyone in that inning who wasn't named "Adam Duvall" had a good approach.

"Thank god AJ Pierzynski is here," said someone for the first time in recorded history.

I'm as surprised as you are.
