gdt 6/24: Orioles

[WaitingFor2017]

McCarthy had a good start today, Joe?

3 runs, 5 hits in 5 innings with 2 homers is the definition of a mediocre start -- especially in a start where we needed the starter to go further than 5 innings with the extra innings Friday night and Julio's dud yesterday.

 

[msstate7]

Nice, Camargo

 

[CyYoung31]

That call could’ve went either way.

 

[msstate7]

Good grief

 

[CyYoung31]

Why pitch to Machado here?

 

[Freshmaker]

Lol that ball hit the backstop, hit the ump, then rolled 10 feet and Jones didn't advance to 2nd

 

[WaitingFor2017]

At least you got Jones and Machado out of the way for the 9th.

yes I was hoping Machado would face Winkler not Minter

 

[UNCBlue012]

CLUTCHBAE

 

[TheBravos]

Well that helps

 

[TheBravos]

Minter is most likely warm, but this would be a good time to bring in Phillips now.

Nope...we gotta have this one.

 

[thewupk]

So is albies good again

 

[Freshmaker]

inward strides the minty hippo

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

 

[UNCBlue012]

Win! Huge way to finish the series.

 

[Heyward]

Good win, should have won 2/3 but thats baseball.

 

[TURBO]

 

[Freshmaker]

 

[Enscheff]

So is albies good again

Whew, I was worried that when he stopped hitting HRs into the first row he was going to be a no power .240 hitter.

Glad nobody freaked out though...

After the weekend, the Braves attendance is up 7.4% over same number of home games.

should drop back a little over the next three games.

---

trying to think what drove Braves attendance over 3 million in the past, and I guess it was as simple as being a high payroll team with well in trenched superstars and a likelihood of winning every night.

Last had that kind of attendance in 2000 and it dropped consistently from there never to recover much above 2.5 million. Braves currently on pace to do about 2.6 million.
