GDT 8/31/24 Atlanta Braves (Fried) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler)

[zambonir]

He has an .827 OPS in August (which I assume also leads the entire team). He is what he is. Patience is nice but most players also have very high BAs on first pitches.

[billgtrman]

Casey has a walk this game, so that’s impressive lol. Schwarber needs to not let the first pitch meatballs go by. When he’s hot he doesn’t miss many

[EastFallowfield]

Wheeler's ERA in August is 1.63, radio guys said with 2 outs in the 7th.

[BostonRoss]

I hope Thomson doesn’t try to let Wheeler go for the complete game shutout

[billgtrman]

That’s really ace material numbers. Nice quick inning by Zach, we should see him in the 8th too

[kikutaro]

Austin Hays

In play, out(s) (72.9 mph curveball)

Austin Hays flies out sharply to center fielder Michael Harris II.

[billgtrman]

I agree he’ll be over 100 pitches in the 8th, he’s at 92 now

[EastFallowfield]

that was an amazing catch

[bkox]

WOW. amazing catch by Harris to save a HR

[billgtrman]

We got one, they got one too

[zambonir]

that was something. I didn't think it had quite enough (and I guess it didn't)

they have threatened to go to a six-man rotation and/or give him extra rest he doesn't even want, I don't think they will stand on ceremony if it isn't called for.

[RolenRules]

Catch of the year?

[kikutaro]

Called strike (83.7 mph changeup)
In play, run(s) (84.5 mph changeup)
