GDT 7/25/21 Atlanta Braves (Toussaint) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Nola)

[LoneStarPhan]

I don't see a GCT yet. After two innings, no score.

Only hit in first two innings, a routine ground ball that Bohm was in position to field, backhanded the ball, hit the heel of the glove and dropped to the ground, throw late to first. Routine play, clearly an error, but ruled a hit.

The Dansby Swanson ball in the second inning was changed from a hit to an error on Alec Bohm, rightfully so.

Bohm has 12 errors. Didi Gregorius has 10. The only teams in the majors with double-digit errors from both shortstop and third base are the Phillies and Nationals.

Yes, scoring was changed to an error on Bohm. I don't see how the scorer even considered calling it a hit.

Now Bohm gets a single up the middle for the first hit of the game.

[LoneStarPhan]

End of 3 innings:

Braves 0-0-0
Phillies 0-1-1

[LoneStarPhan]

Two out double to left by Riley in fourth inning is the first hit given up by Nola.

He Ks Swanson to end the inning.

[LoneStarPhan]

In the bottom of the fourth:
Segura home run.
Harper single.
Hoskins single.

End of 4 innings:
Braves 0-1-0
Phillies 1-4-1

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Nola has looked good through 6 innings - pitch count at 72. Some add on runs would be nice here, as the Phillies lead 1-0 going into the bottom of the 6th.

This would be a hard one to lose.

Great play by Segura to get first out, need another one with man on third.

[LoneStarPhan]

End of 7 innings:

Braves 0-3-0
Phillies 1-5-1

Toussaint and Nola complete 7 innings. Longest ever for Toussaint, who has 10 Ks. Nola with 6. No walks in the game so far.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Touissant matching Nola through 7 innings. Nola still with a slim 1 run lead facing 8-9-1 in the top of the 8th.

[bkox]

Nola looked Ace today... Ranger to close?

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Nola goes 1-2-3 in the 8th (K, GO, K). Let’s get some insurance runs in the bottom of the 8th.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Ranger to close?

Good question - with Freeman the lefty due up 2nd, I do think they bring in Suarez

[LoneStarPhan]

Nola gets two Ks in the 8th after none in the 5th, 6th, and 7th.

Ranger is warming up in the bullpen now. I expect Nola will start the ninth.

Chris Martin pitching the 8th for the Braves.

[LoneStarPhan]

Home run, Torreyes leading off the 8th.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Good call starting Torreyes over Didi!

[bkox]

Ya'll remember when we didnt want to activate Torreyes at the beginning of the year?
Nola is hitting for himself

[LoneStarPhan]

Segura called out on strikes on pitch outside the strike zone.

Going to the ninth with a 2-0 lead.

[bkox]

Nola at 112 pitches with 2 outs in the 9th. Most hes thrown this year is 114
