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

[zambonir]

Confession: I was second-screening this in favor of college football until the 6th. Now I'm juiced.

[EastFallowfield]

That Jankowski one was pretty good, they just showed in on Fox.

[zambonir]

the Harris catch seemed more dramatic but in truth Harris had the catch made, the drama was more him bracing himself after.

[RolenRules]

And the fans are going crazy!

[EastFallowfield]

Struck him right on outta there, as HK would say sometimes on a big one.

[zambonir]

It is indeed not happening but regardless. Thomson is not going to let these guys rack up complete games or even no-hittters at this points, he wants them to get rest if they can.

[billgtrman]

Estevez closing tonight?
