GDT 9/1/24 Atlanta Braves (Schwellenbach) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Nola, Aaron)

[zambonir]

probably not the best idea to try and bunt if you've never done it all season

[EastFallowfield]

Nice sac fly type out from Hays, shame we didn't move the runner over.

[Patchmk88]

Can’t play small ball.

[Philsmania]

Can’t play small ball.

Sucks to only score runs if a guy homers.

[kikutaro]

Ball (95.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (95.6 mph four-seam fastball)

[Philsmania]

Braves want this one more.

[zambonir]

Seems like they want it the same amount after 10.

Hey, Alvarado's back, is he up?

[zambonir]

Sucks to not have more men on base for the homers.

[bkox]

Yea, it is. I guess you don’t do it…. Hopefully won’t matter

Now its Clemens.. and Wilson could come in for 3B. I would do that

[LoneStarPhan]

Yes, a successful sac bunt and the Phillies likely win in ten.

No excuses for Marsh not being able to bunt.

[bkox]

Hey, Alvarado's back, is he up?

Estevez for a 2nd inning

[zambonir]

it doesn't seem like the speed of the runner on second is an issue so far.

More Estevez, interesting. I guess this is actually managing like it's the playoffs.

[dicemen99]

Sit him down then.

Pathetic attempt. I know we're supposed to ease up on these guys in the game thread, but one bunt basically clinches the division and that was pathetic.

Sit him down.

[kikutaro]

Matt Olson

Marcell Ozuna starts inning at 2nd base.
In play, out(s) (98.2 mph four-seam fastball)

Matt Olson grounds out, first baseman Bryce Harper to pitcher Carlos Estévez. Marcell Ozuna to 3rd.

[zambonir]

I think never being asked to bunt and likely never practicing it is probably a pretty good excuse (at least for Marsh, not the team).

[kikutaro]

Travis d'Arnaud

Ball (90.3 mph slider)
Foul (98.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (97.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (91.7 mph slider)
In play, out(s) (95.8 mph four-seam fastball)

Travis d'Arnaud grounds out, third baseman Kody Clemens to first baseman Bryce Harper.

[zambonir]

Nobody bunts in MLB in 2024. Even in extras. I'm surprised they don't do it more in that situation specifically (it seemed trendy when the rule started but quickly faded). But if you're not committed to it as a team, there's only so much time in the day for BP doing something that will only rarely come up.

[kikutaro]

Whit Merrifield

Ball (98.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball in dirt (91.7 mph slider)
Foul (90.9 mph slider)
Foul (90.4 mph slider)
Swinging strike (97.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Whit Merrifield strikes out swinging.

Let's win this fudger.

Shameless Christmas Story reference.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

I miss Klassen and Aldegheri, but that was a great 2 innings by Estevez!
