Come on, Simmons!

 

[Dalyn]

Pop out.

 

[O'Dandelo]

Gorgeous pitch to strike out Minor there.

 

[Dalyn]

Lee made Minor look like a pitcher.

 

[Dalyn]

That first pitch to Mayberry was definitely a strike.

 

[jpx7]

How can I join the future?

 

[Dalyn]

How can I join the future?

Bring it to you.

 

[Dalyn]

Glad Mayberry swung at that one. Minor had to beat him AND the ump.

 

[Dalyn]

@ Frandsen

Guess they should've started Asche.

 

[Dalyn]

Wow. Another great play from Simmons after a LONG at-bat. Can't believe he nailed Bernadina.

 

[thethe]

Did Gattis swing at the first pitch in his ab?

 

[Dalyn]

Did Gattis swing at the first pitch in his ab?

Yes. But in his defense it was a bullet through the hole.

 

[Braves1976]

Gattis hits a bullet off Frandsen's nuts, ouch!

Bring out the stretcher boys, he ain't getting up for a while.

 

[O'Dandelo]

It was a curveball and no, Gattis laid off it.

 

[Garmel]

Did Gattis swing at the first pitch in his ab?

Yeah and every pitch thereafter.

 

[Dalyn]

Gattis hits a bullet off Frandsen's nuts, ouch!

Bring out the stretcher boys, he ain't getting up for a while.

That was actually Upton. Not sure how you confused the two!

 

[Braves1976]

Yes. But in his defense it was a bullet through the hole.

Frandsen says that's better than a bullet to his...

 

[Dalyn]

It was a curveball and no, Gattis laid off it.

Was it the second pitch he hit? Missed that. Thought it was the first.

 

[Braves1976]

That was actually Upton. Not sure how you confused the two!

I am listening on radio, I thought Gattis was still batting. OK, lol.

 

[nsacpi]

That was actually Upton. Not sure how you confused the two!

Ask Sammy Sosa.
