I still think we might see him tonight... 

it’s ballsy but he’s on the roster so might as well see if he has the cojones to get 3 big outs. Braves really haven’t seen him so it’s to the Phillies advantage.

Yeah I’d almost rather save him for home games unless it’s a low pressure situation in Atlanta.  Last thing anyone wants is the kid to lose his confidence if things don’t go well for him in a high pressure situation in Atlanta 

This crowd sucks.

 Up 2-0 Make strider get back in that count and get him working.

I am not sure if he even knows this is the MLB playoffs... its just one level higher than his last stop.  (the fans in Atlanta sure won't let him know this is the post-season!)

Well... there he is.  Coming in against the 3 righties at the bottom of the order.

Sounds like a July evening in Atlanta.  Everyone sitting down.

These last 9 outs are gonna be high anxiety and stress.

Always are.

 

 

Is Strider saying that the fans are distracting him and that's why he's down 2-0 right now?

Ok.   8 to go.

Anyone know when the Phils play?

7!

Seriously, Strider is **** (female feminine product) level 9000

Playoff baseball brings out the worst in a husband and father. I’ve yelled at my wife, MIL, and 2 year old daughter while this game has been on.
