[jsebe10]

Great start

 

[CyYoung31]

Two soft ground balls. Runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Nice rebound!!

 

[UNCBlue012]

Wheeler a fraud? Lmao I kid I kid

 

[UNCBlue012]

What in the hell? Castellanos was struck out and it wasn’t all that close

 

[UNCBlue012]

Literally a fake run. Insane:

 

[Enscheff]

That was not a bad pitch

 

[drewdat]

Close your eyes and swing

94 up. Just stop walking folks and worse case is a tied score.

he didn’t. Castellanos was struck out.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

he didn’t. Castellanos was struck out.

He had another pitch that was trash after that missed call. He has to get over a bad call if that is what he thought.

Wait. That was the 3-2 pitch. My bad

So the nice thing about the playoff schedule is based on days off, our first round will literally be Fried, Strider, Morton, Fried Strider on regular rest

Unclear to me on what it will enable the WC to do, but would be really annoying to have to face Wheeler twice if we draw the Phillies again

 

[UNCBlue012]

Wheeler may go on to dominate Atlanta tonight, but these last two starts have been the worst I’ve seen his pure stuff in a while. His velo is teetering and he’s not had the movement we’re accustomed too. It’s weird.

 

[Enscheff]

Another good pitch resulting in a bomb

This is good news. Keeping Elder and Wright off the mound in October is probably a good thing based on what they’ve shown lately.
