I think Bellatti needs to go and maybe bring Marte back

I think Bellatti needs to go and maybe bring Marte back

I wouldn’t be surprised to see that transaction occur at the end of this game and before the start of the second game of the DH.

Like I was saying

It's hard to win a doubleheader - which is especially good if you don't win the first one.

[zambonir]

I wouldn’t be surprised to see that transaction occur at the end of this game and before the start of the second game of the DH.

Now that's actually an interesting point. If you don't get the extra man you still could have brought somebody up to be ready (I mean, sure, in theory anyone could also get from Allentown to CBP in time if they are home).

Brandon Marsh

Called strike (84. mph changeup)
Foul (93.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (81.2 mph curveball)
Swinging strike (82. mph curveball)

Brandon Marsh strikes out swinging.

[andyb]

Marte has not given up a run since he was sent down in 9.1 IP. 6 BBs against 8 Ks, but we kind of know the walks come with the territory. He does a decent job of keeping the ball in the park which is really important against the Braves.

He last pitched on the 8th (Friday) so he is rested.

Nick Castellanos

Ball (84.8 mph changeup)
Foul (85.2 mph changeup)
Swinging strike (84.8 mph changeup)

Ball (90.3 mph cutter)
Ball (85.5 mph changeup)
Ball (89.3 mph cutter)

Jake Cave walks.

[bkox]

Taijuan Walker has allowed 19 runs over 26 innings in his last 5 starts. Middle of the rotation was a strength most of the summer but has become a concern lately.

Braves starter for game #2 is most likely Kyle Wright who is not currently on their roster

[kikutaro]

Marcell Ozuna

Ball (92.9 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (92.4 mph four-seam fastball)

Marcell Ozuna flies out to left fielder Jake Cave.

[zambonir]

I mean, the middle of the rotation was a huge concern last year too. Eflin got hurt, Gibson fell apart, Falter and Thor kept the 5th spot afloat well enough (including when Wheeler was out). The problem this year is the #2 hasn't been good.

[kikutaro]

Eddie Rosario

Swinging strike (92.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (93.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (87.2 mph changeup)
Foul tip (86.3 mph slider)

Eddie Rosario strikes out on a foul tip.

[kikutaro]

Travis d'Arnaud

In play, out(s) (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Travis d'Arnaud pops out to catcher Garrett Stubbs in foul territory.
