GDT 7/5/24 Philadelphia Phillies (Nola, Aa) @ Atlanta Braves (Fried)

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

I agree with Stocker. I'm concerned that the HR derby could change Bohm's swing. I'd prefer he didn't participate.

[EastFallowfield]

He gives a good interview. I know all the other teams fans root against him but he does seem to love baseball (and sports in general). You don't always get that vibe from some other players. And with the replay review they wrapped up the interview in time for me to switch back to our broadcasters for the runs.

[EastFallowfield]

After some easy out guys got it started.

Ball (92.8 mph four-seam fastball)

Oh no knock on him and I actually heard the first part of it before I saw your post about the radio feed. Just didn't feel like changing.

[zambonir]

I agree with Stocker. I'm concerned that the HR derby could change Bohm's swing. I'd prefer he didn't participate.

We all remember Abreu, but I think this is an urban legend. You could just as easily (and more correctly) say no one should play in the game at all due to injury risk.

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

Well, I agree, but I only care about Bohm in the HR derby because I still think he's a bit fragile mentally. I'm always waiting for the moment that sends him into another funk.

[zambonir]

He seems to be past that now, based on the stories that talked about him getting out of this most recent slump. He should have his fun. He's also got enough time to get out of it if it does become a hiccup.

Ozzie Albies

Ball (86. mph changeup)
Swinging strike (92.7 mph sinker)
In play, no out (86.6 mph changeup)

Ozzie Albies singles on a ground ball to center fielder Johan Rojas.

[zambonir]

Do opposing fans still hate him? That's not been my experience, I think the image change he pulled off as a Phillies player travelled beyond CBP. I mean, if you are a Phillies rival or the Nats you should still hate him. But what he's done on the postseason stage - which he didn't in DC - won a lot of admiration if he wasn't playing your team. He used to be a semi-bratty prodigy and now he's an unquestionable tough grizzled vet, with the talent not in question either way.

[kikutaro]

Austin Riley

In play, run(s) (90.2 mph sinker)

Austin Riley homers (11) on a fly ball to center field. Ozzie Albies scores.

Philadelphia Phillies 3 - Atlanta Braves 2

[zambonir]

Johan seemed a little dejected there. He had no shot.

[EastFallowfield]

Well, I live among Mets fans, they hate the Phils a lot. And you do hear a lot of boos for him in road games.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I read this on the MLB app; Bohm already has some experience with a HR derby:

Bohm is planning to have Scott Wingo throw to him. Wingo was Bohm’s coach in the 2016 Coastal Plain League, when Bohm was a freshman in college. Wingo threw to Bohm when he won the league’s Home Run Derby that summer.

[DurhamBull]

You can listen to the Franzke/Stocker team on Apple. But it's cut out a couple times and is at a much lower volume than the Apple announcers (warning if you switch back to them).

Thanks, EF, I had no idea. That makes the Apple TV feed much more appealing. Super helpful, thanks again.

[zambonir]

I have a lot of Mets fan friends but we're all pretty friendly and good-natured about the hate. But yeah like I said rivals shouldn't hate him. But I know Cubs fans and Giants fans and Astros fans and Rangers fans and even DBacks fans last year who all marvelled at home.

Matt Olson

Called strike (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (87.2 mph changeup)
Foul (94.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (92.8 mph sinker)
Ball (78.6 mph knuckle curve)
Foul (95. mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (87.7 mph changeup)

Matt Olson grounds out, third baseman Edmundo Sosa to first baseman Alec Bohm.

[Patchmk88]

Needed a shut down inning and didn’t get it.

[BostonRoss]

Bohm is tied for 37th in the NL in homers. No one is tuning in to the derby to watch him.
