GDT 10/15/22 Atlanta Braves (Morton) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Syndergaard)

[EDmuch]

Thomason’s use of pitchers will be very interesting. I suspect they have worked thru every possible scenario before the game even started. Will they try to get 4 out of Thor?

Brandon Marsh is the first Phillie to homer out of the #9 spot in a home playoff game since ...

Joe Blanton, of course.

Charlie Morton has been removed from the game. Couldn't get loose on the mound.

I would

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I’d pitch Syndergaard for 5 innings if he keeps holding up with low pitch counts. Let the Brav s have another bullpen game today

[EastFallowfield]

Franzke & LA twitter account reminds us that in the 1993 NLCS clincher vs Atlanta the Braves starter (Greg Maddux) was also lit by a liner off a Phils bat (Morandini). Maddux obviously a better piticher than 2022 Morton, and he stayed in until the 6th.
