GDT - Braves vs. Phils 5/22/18

[GeorgiaGirl]

Phillies keep not challenging close plays. What are they thinking?

Albies was safe there but it still baffles me that they didn't challenge on the dribbler with Velasquez.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Lmao. Please get a run here!

Clearly safe but that is no guarantee.

Markakis has been as good so far but I honestly would like to see Albies go after Freeman's AB unless Freeman gets on or gets an XBH.

MarkakVPis would look good leading-off.

The best hitter actually hits 2nd in an analytics lineup.

Exactly.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Holy crap. We've left two or three easy runs on third base.

 

[TheBravos]

1st strike on Ender BS

 

[CyYoung31]

This ump ****ing blows.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

That’s two at bats that a bogus strike call changed the at bat. The other being Swanson’s.

 

[CyYoung31]

I find it a little depressing that a team, who had a long sell-out streak not too long ago, can only manage to draw about 20,000 for a matchup between the 1st and 2nd place teams.

 

[UNCBlue012]

That was a truly awful sequence of pitches to Altherr.

 

[TheBravos]

Man but the ump isn’t giving us those calls...

 

[UNCBlue012]

He's nibbling like crazy though. Just attack these guys.

 

[USMA76]

Two sets of strike zones for this jackass behind the plate.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Wow. Two outs and just stopped attacking — back pitch after bad pitch.

This is where getting even a run with a runner on third would have helped.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Whew!! Please score here.

 

[Carp]

Ball 3 was clearly just called a strike on Flowers. Ump is terrible

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Dansby K rate is concerning at this point.
