GDT 9/28/21: Braves vs Philthies - The series that defines our year

[CrazyTrain]

Charlie Morton has had a pretty crazy career arc, one you rarely see.

At 37 he’s pitching with good velo and nasty movement. I loved that signing in the off season and boy has it paid off. Over 4 fWAR.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Good inning Charlie. I'd try to push him one more, but i'm not sure what to do either way.

I'd pull him. I feel like he tends to slow down around the 85-90 pitch mark.

It might depend if we can add another run on here.

 

[Heyward]

Ugh hope not scoring there, doesnt hurt later on (probably will).

 

[Southcack77]

There is zero reason to let Morton pitch the 7th. The bottom of their order is garbage after McCutchen, but you can’t take any chances in this series.

Naw, it's the bottoms of order. Might as well.

 

[TURBO]

Huge game by Morton. Such a good signing

charlie SHOVED tonight

Right call to go with Charlie that inning. Not saying Snit will do this but it allows more options in case Smith starts ****ing up in the ninth.

 

[Heyward]

Thats probably it for Charlie, great outing.

 

[Hudson2]

Awesome performance by Charlie tonight!

 

[thewupk]

Morton was impressive

 

[msstate7]

Do we have minter ready in case?

 

[Tapate50]

LOVE we got Charlie for next season.

 

[msstate7]

Outstanding pitching so far. Offense, please get will a run

 

[msstate7]

Any chance matzek starts 9th?

 

[Hudson2]

Luke!

 

[Heyward]

Any chance matzek starts 9th?

Do you know who the manager is?

 

[Runnin]

Will Smith lined up to pitch against Harper starting the 9th. I love baseball.

 

[CyYoung31]

Will Smith lined up to pitch against Harper starting the 9th. I love baseball.

I bet he walks him.

 

[bravesnumberone]

If Smith can’t get Harper out they need to go to Matzek.
