GDT: 4/16/18 @ 7:35. Opening day rematch edition.

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Times have seriously changed. I loathe watching Teheran pitch now. I used to love it.

Still has 4 Ks somehow

Edit: Make that 5. Incredibly filthy slider

 

[UNCBlue012]

I remember the Pedro comps back in his prospect days. How times have changed

I say that and he’s doing well aside from the one pitch tonight. But seriously. His 2013 and 2014 was so much fun.

These Phillies hitters can’t touch T’s slider tonight. Great to see

Of course West calls the up and away strike against the pitcher that was three inches further off the plate than the Herrera strike three pitch.

Robot umps please

Teheran has 6 ks in reality tonight. Pitching great tonight. Good sign

And really 7 k’s since the Hoskins walk was a missed strike three as well.

Gotta love West getting paid by the Phils.

i'm going to write a robot umpire book that doesn't end with them taking over the world

Hilarious jokes about launch angles from our wonderful announcing team.

 

[chop2chip]

I’m a big fan of how Philly shifts.

 

[thethe]

Worst AB from Swanson since the second game of the season

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Dang, slider got Swanson. That was a great pitch though

It’s mildly amusing listening to the broadcast buffoons mock launch angle analysis when Tucker grounded out on a hard hit ball...which is exactly what launch angle analysis tries to prevent.

One of the worst Ump crews, if not the worst in MLB.

Joe West, Doug Eddings, Marty Foster and Mark Ripperger.

Will never forget the one game with Eddings behind the plate.

I’m guessing Chip had no idea what fangraphs was until some new member of the Braves FO told him to start referencing their work.

We can see the modernization of the organization slowly creeping out to the casual fans.

Julio breaking out th change up tonight. Nice

 

[thethe]

Wow...herrera is the dumbest baseball player I've seen

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

There's a happy medium that guys like Albies need to take (or maybe not with him hitting an effortless HR in the awful conditions in Wrigley), but its clearly obvious that the launch angle era is here to stay.

Odubel has a lot of talent but what a sh*t play by him. That's not even close.

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Markakis with that cannon

It actually did end up being close though

 

[salmagundy]

Joe missed strike 3 vs Santana again!!!
