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

[zambonir]

Hey remember when the Phillies gave Topper his contract in the middle of the playoffs?

[LoneStarPhan]

Great bottom of the sixth for the Phillies to add 4 more runs.

Outstanding start from Nola going 6 scoreless innings.

Hoffman made quick work of the 7th

[el-pietro]

Strahm next? To face Longoria, perdomo (switch) and Carroll?

[bkox]

The Phillies just told @CBSPhiladelphia that this is the first time every parking spot is full in every lot in the South Philadelphia stadium complex.

[EDmuch]

I would like to see Kerkerong on the 8th and Soto in the 9th.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I think that 4-run inning took the wind out of the D-backs’ sails. Still a lot of baseball left, but they are beginning to realize that their playing days this season may be coming to an end soon.

[kikutaro]

Kyle Schwarber

Ball (79.8 mph curveball)
Ball (89.2 mph sinker)
Ball (89.4 mph sinker)
Called strike (88. mph sinker)
Ball (88.5 mph sinker)

Kyle Schwarber walks.

[Docs]

Pinch runner?

[bkox]

DBacks pitching change

[bkeich]

Schwarber really is the ultimate 3 outcome player. His foot speed barely comes into play.

[zambonir]

DBacks already white-flagged it leaving their reliever in that long.

[el-pietro]

We'd lose the DH right?

[zambonir]

With Carroll coming up you probably have that backwards but with a six-run lead why not let the kid have at it.

[kikutaro]

Trea Turner

Mound Visit.
Pitching Change: Ryne Nelson replaces Joe Mantiply.
Ball (95.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (95.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (97. mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (97.3 mph four-seam fastball)

Trea Turner lines out to shortstop Geraldo Perdomo.

[zambonir]

Yes in the scenario where it would actually matter you would not only have a relief pitcher batting but will have taken Schwarber's bat out of the game (and burned a bench player to boot).

[bkox]

Strahm warming in the pen

[Docs]

I could live with that at this point

[zambonir]

Yup even up 6-0 Thomson's going with a more trusted (and versatile) arm for that cluster.
