GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 4: Avoid the Death Blow

[zbhargrove]

Way to go Swanson.

I mean it was obviously ball 4. Hard to get on Swanson for that one

 

[AJonesATL]

Man offense has just disappeared. Feels like we can't get more than one good AB in any inning

An almost walk doesn't excuse a terrible show in the series

 

[Sheffield10]

This all my goes back to mentality…how does Dansby, who is struggling, not take that pitch to the foot and get on base? You danced out of the way for what? Where is the winning mindset?

 

[Enscheff]

That strike 1 call was just as bad.

 

[Coredor]

Ok this ump really is clueless.

 

[CyYoung31]

This game will end in the next 30 minutes with this strike zone.

 

[jsebe10]

Hats off to this bullpen…they’ve come in and absolutely given this offense a chance to get back in.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Maybe we should avoid situations where we’re having to rely on incompetent umpires

I’m sure it was reflex to get out the way…He’s not Roger Dorn.

Well that’s a different topic lol

 

[Coredor]

What’s rough is he’s expanding the zone in multiple directions and kind of random about it. Some of the ones he’s called are more than 2 balls off that can’t happen.

 

[AJonesATL]

The irony is as good as we've been this year, we have not been a come back team. Weirdly never felt like a team that had that late inning magic in them. Partly probably because we were usually winning at that point...

They’re doing all that we can ask to this point. But our offense lacks the fortitude.

 

[jsebe10]

Lol. They almost always shift Segura up the middle.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Agreed this team has been piss poor during day games, and does not have that come from behind magic as they did in previous years...

Even though we are only down 2, it feels a lot further than that

 

[Hudson2]

That hit the knob of the bat

 

[CrazyTrain]

He swung?

 

[CyYoung31]

Why are we challenging?

 

[Super]

this series is exactly what makes the playoffs a crapshoot. guys go 1 for 13 all the time, but it’s far more noticeable in the playoffs. when a couple guys go 1 for 13 you can say they’re “choking” but that’s just baseball. Riley could go 7 for 11 if braves move on.
