GDT 10/17/23 Arizona Diamondbacks (Kelly, M) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Nola, Aaron)

[LoneStarPhan]

In this situation, there should be no walks. Some of the balls were not even close. No reason to get ahead 0-2 and walk him.

But I'm still confident that Strahm gets out of this okay.

[bkeich]

They really don’t want Stubbs to play. At least let him catch

And the Diamondbacks make a pitching change. Seems like an unnecessary move.

Saalfrank, LHP, in to pitch to Harper. Gets the out on one pitch.

Now for the ninth.

[bkox]

Garrett Stubbs will catch the ninth inning.
