Topper looks like a genius and Dominguez throws so freaking hard.  Every pitch was 98 or more right?  Wow.  

Dominguez’s stuff isn’t the issue. It’s been his control. 

BRYCE!!

Hmmm... that HR reminds me of something from last year... can't imagine what it was.

Most clutch player in the game.

Need bohm to breathe here. You don’t have to swing at everything. 

Oh yeah, I remember now...

 

 

Haven't heard about this tonight though.   Not that TBS is biased or anything.

I was really confused because my feed was way behind for some reason and everyone was talking about the HR lol

Way too many outs left for that dangerous lineup

Oh I know but it still amazes me how consistently hard he throws

Please just once jt hit the ball out of the park with a runner on. 

Damnit, JT.

OK.  A little breathing room now.  That helps.   I'm guessing this is Strahm's inning.   Go get 'em.

At this point don’t swing at first pitch. Make strider work to get his pitch count up so we can get him out of the game. That’s a win if you do that. The one pitch at bat gives him an extra batter or two. Better chance at getting more runners off the Braves pen.

Forgot we had strahm. Been forever since we’ve used him (a week ago). I have a feeling it might be alavardo due to where we are in the Braves lineup.

Good call.  Strahm had been warming up during the last inning.

 

Need 12 more.  Need to get these guys out two more times... Alvarado now, and I guess Kimbrel the next time.

MLB Gameday is ahead of my TV feed.   Gotta not check mid-inning.

I wouldn’t be entirely shocked if it’s soto before kimbrel depending on what part of the lineup is due up in the 7th

I meant the next time its this section of the order.  With 11 more outs needed... these guys (Olson, Albies and Ozuna) will bat again.

Lol mascot wars baby 

 

Realmuto is earning his money.    That saved a base for sure.

If Orion would have pitched more down the stretch, I might have considered using him in a high-leverage situation. For the reason that the Braves really haven’t seen him before.

15 years ago Brad Lidge had possibly the greatest season of any closer ever. In today’s game I think he’d just be another middle reliever

Blooper is a stupid looking mascot with a more ridiculous name.

I still think we might see him tonight...
