I was thinking the same thing why did they pitch to him LFG!

[BostonRoss]

If I were the Braves, I'd walk Harper

I truly typed that before I saw the homer! I guess I was right.

[LoneStarPhan]

5 hits now in the inning. Two home runs.

Mound visit.

Not sure I'd walk Harper but giving him a pitch in the heart of the plate probably was not the best approach.

[kikutaro]

Bryson Stott

Ball (85. mph changeup)

[el-pietro]

If it were me I'd have had a new pitcher in there. And they left him in for Stott. What is going on?

[Patchmk88]

This is the answer I was talking about!

[LoneStarPhan]

Elder is coming out now.

In for the Braves, RHP Michael Tonkin.
