That one was actually worse than the call against us. If i were a Braves fan be super irritated. That wasn’t even remotely close and realmuto didn’t even do a frame job with it lol 

Wheeler hit the glove in that spot.... twice.

Every time they do it their batter strikes out tonight 

You know Philly is going to mock them hard with it Wednesday

That would be cultural appropriation.  Philly fans are the worst.

Need 9 more outs.  Seems it's time to turn to the bullpen.    Let Wheeler have the rest of the night to rest and get ready for his next start.

Why I’m in favor of the robo umps. Maybe we see it more because of all the technology we have. But this is the worst it’s been in like 10 years. and there’s really no repercussions to the umps that do it. Like Hernandez and Bucknor are here until they want to retire. 

Why pull Wheeler right now? Don’t give him a few batters?

we really need to get Rojas and marsh going. Marsh is 0-6 this postseason and Rojas is 1-13

Heart of the Braves order and third time through. I’m guessing it’s alavardo

That's exactly it.  Maddux and Glavine got that pitch for their entire career.

Ok... so Wheeler gets to start the 7th, with the short leash.  That works.

I think it’s part of it. Also part umps know there’s really no repercussion to them being this bad.literally no reason Bucknor or Hernandez should have their positions. The stats bare out they are consistently two of the worst

Bucknor and Hernandez give all umps a bad name.   They aren't trying to be bad.   Those two... I'm not so sure.

Might be the last batter wheeler faces after that hit

Just hit 90 pitches... He definitely won't go through the order a 4th time.   He gets one more base runner.

Damnit 

Damn. Guess that’s why.

F.

Damn.

Topper played the dangerous game... and the Phillies got burnt.   

Ofc a former Phillie. 

F'ing stupidity leaving him in. They are losing this one now

Need 8 more outs... We are still in good position.

I would’ve pulled him after the First hit. Wheeler had 3 of the last 4 runners on base. 

Wouldn't be that big of a deal if the Phillies didn't leave 38 men on base. 

Would be nice to get some insurance runs top of 8th for blood pressure’ sake

It was freaking stupid. It proved nothing sending him out again. Nothing. He's a dumb f
