GDT 6/14/19 Philadelphia Phillies (Pivetta) @ Atlanta Braves (Fried)

[andyb]

When did Kingery become the new Javy Baez?

[zambonir]

without a traditional closer isn't this when you would want your best reliever to be pitching?

I mean, not really, because it was still a four-run lead. Not because it should be a save situation (which could only be a blown save) but still lower-leverage.

As for the lefty question, no, we don't! Morgan's out, Davis is down (and not a great option), Suarez is not either. I'm sure they had their reasons for liking the VV match-up better. And truth is no one can get Freeman out.

Philadelphia Phillies 8 - Atlanta Braves 6

[LoneStarPhan]

The four pitch walk to start the inning comes back to cost them.

Evidently, the bat crossing the plate and ending well out in front is not a strike tonight.

Not much going well right now.

[Patchmk88]

Also horrible call by the umpire. Should have been astrikeout.

[zambonir]

As ever can't fault Harper's effort but probably should have played that off the wall.

[zambonir]

Gabe said Ramos was going to see some higher-leverage action. Two days ago it would have been Nicasio. But yeah might need four outs from Hector at this point.

Please just give me three more outs

[LoneStarPhan]

One inning to go. I hope we can hold on and get this win.

Ramos really should have had a K on Culberson.

I am happy the see him back and hope a couple more relievers are activated in the coming week or two.
