Let's go, Correa!

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Good walk for Yordan.

[WBT 20561]

Lulz, Buck trying to give us the broadcaster curse

[TexArcher 37767]

Come on, Correa, we need a jack.

[rvm96 1643]

Earn that money Correa

Dammit. That’s ball 3. 

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

Thomas Rhett is dealing tonight. 

[WBT 20561]

A three run homer would be a good first hit

Ted, hit a 3-run jack RIGHT NOW.  Do it.  Just fucking do it.

[runthebone 7967]

A foot outside

[beer 3220]

There's no fucking "corner" out there

[WBT 20561]

fucking hallion

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

That was 6 inches outside.

[cabowabo 4484]

Fuck you Hallion. 

[Telegraph_it 3357]

That should be strike 2 right? Only a foot further out. 

[Gourmand 7774]

fuck you Hallion

[Sleepygrad 1029]

fuuuuuuuuuuuckkk

 

[cabowabo 4484]

Terrible AB. 

[runthebone 7967]

Shit.  Garcia's spot is third next inning, so hopefully he gives us one more.

Hallion with dinner reservations. 

[HtownHorn 14668]

The dude can only throw his change up for a strike and we are still hunting fucking fastballs.

[HoustonFrog 368]

How in Gods name can this lineup ever go four innings without a hit? This guy isn’t even hitting spots

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Fuck. Cmon sticks!

[Mo Horn 8831]

Been out and just got home. Looks like our bats are nonexistent tonight

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Suboptimal result right there. But somebody is going to rip one off this guy.

They will likely pinch hit for him. Due up 2nd. 4 innings is like his 2nd longest start of the playoffs.

[tx ind 7007]

everything has gone their way, it's only a matter of time

Has this guy thrown his changeup for a strike yet tonight?  Seems like every one of them bounces three feet in the plate.  Too bad we swing at half of them.

 

42 minutes ago, TexArcher said:

The only thing he's throwing for strikes consistently is his fastball.  Everyone should be sitting on it and taking everything else.

Second time through the lineup ought to be really rough on him the way he's going.

Interesting last hour of baseball

Looking for fastballs instead of his changeup, as he can't throw anything close to a strike consistently except the changeup.

[TexArcher 37767]

Kinda surprised they let Anderson hit for himself.  But I'll take another free pass or two from him.

There's GOT to be a crooked number coming for us, doesn't there??

[cabowabo 4484]

Why now with him due up 3rd next inning?

[perfectchaos007 6626]

bullpen time

Shocked. I guess Snitker is hoping he can get the bottom of the order out.

Lefty against lefty.

2 lefties and a switch per sparky

[Mo Horn 8831]

What the fuck Dusty? 2 pitches and 2 outs so let's pull him. It's not like we need to not overuse the pen. 

[WBT 20561]

2 pitches, 2 outs, and still the autopull before the dreaded 3rd time through the order.  I hate crap like this.  We're playing 3 games in 3 days, maybe go just a little off script to minimize how much you have to use the pen?

[HoustonFrog 368]

Yeah I’m not about this.

Rosario has put two good ABs on him, and I don't want anyone in the bullpen pitching to Freeman with a man on. Hopefully Taylor gets Rosario.

[APMP 688]

Luis deserved to pitch to at least Rosario. He has been good enough on the bump today.

[runthebone 7967]

The next two batters are left handed and dangerous, I am fine with this.

[TonyTexas 10508]

Y’all might want to trust Dusty. He’s been close to flawless in his bullpen decisions this postseason. 

[beer 3220]

Don't root for the planet, it's trying to kill us.

I don’t think it’s about that. Honestly my initial thought was this was stupid and then thinking about it you aren’t going to trust Taylor much at all- this is his time, and it’s auto pinch hit next inning anyway so sure, why not?  This inning was end of line for him anyway.

Well you can't be right all the time. 

[WBT 20561]

It makes no sense to me that the Braves stack Rosario, Freeman, and Albies, who is much better from the left side.
