GDT 6/10/21 Atlanta Braves (Anderson) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler)

[David_Criss]

Now we know why Alvarado was easily gotten in the off season.

[LoneStarPhan]

Regardless of what happens next, Alvarado has pitched another very poor inning.

A contending team cannot afford his inconsistency.

[LoneStarPhan]

A run on a wild pitch. A run on a passed ball.

Alvarado gives up no hits but very likely gave the game to the Braves.

[Patchmk88]

Not that it was predictable, but Girardi’s switches the inning before backfired.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Bullpen woes again in 2021. No one out there can really be trusted right now, except maybe Suarez who has the long relief role.

[Patchmk88]

Further shows the failure of the organization, to develop and/or recognize talent. 1 freaking run over 9 innings. 0 runs given up by your starter. 3 runs from the bullpen.

[kikutaro]

Alec Bohm

Guillermo Heredia remains in the game as the center fielder.
Pitching Change: Chris Martin replaces Luke Jackson, batting 9th.
Rafael Marchan starts inning at 2nd base.
Foul (94.1 mph sinker)
Swinging strike (90.8 mph cutter)
Passed ball by catcher Kevan Smith. Rafael Marchan to 3rd.
On-field Delay.
In play, run(s) (94.4 mph sinker)

Alec Bohm singles on a ground ball to right fielder Ronald Acuna. Rafael Marchan scores.

Atlanta Braves 3 - Philadelphia Phillies 2

[LoneStarPhan]

The extra run from the 3 walks and the passed ball now looking big.

[kikutaro]

Odubel Herrera

Ball (94.1 mph sinker)
Foul (89.1 mph cutter)
Ball (86.1 mph changeup)
Pickoff Attempt 1B
Called strike (94.3 mph sinker)
In play, no out (94.2 mph sinker)

Odubel Herrera doubles (9) on a ground ball to left fielder Abraham Almonte. Alec Bohm to 3rd.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

And yet the team hasn’t quit - let’s go!

[kikutaro]

Jean Segura

Foul (90.6 mph cutter)
In play, run(s) (84.2 mph slider)

Jean Segura singles on a sharp fly ball to center fielder Guillermo Heredia. Alec Bohm scores. Odubel Herrera scores.

Philadelphia Phillies 4 - Atlanta Braves 3

[schillingfan]

Wow, just wow!

[Philsmania]

Great win! Now let's beat the Yankees!

[Patchmk88]

Crow eaten.

[LoneStarPhan]

And yes, I probably was too negative, too soon.

Kudos to Bohm, Herrera, and Segura for this win. No point taking a chance on Harper and Hoskins when you can win it sooner. Phillies score 3 with no outs in the bottom of the tenth.

[EDmuch]

In his post game interview, Girardi should open his remarks by saying "and that it exactly how I planned it to play out".

[donaldorc]

No way Alvarado should get the win! Baseball is a strange game!

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Win every series, and everything will be good!
