Let's Go Braves!!!

Soroka is chunking . . . Struck out the first hitter on 3 straight wicked pitches!!!
If you haven't seen this kid pitch . . . and you love or just like baseball . . . You owe it to yourself to watch, at least a few innings!!! (On Fox Sports Carolina)
He retired the side in 7 pitches . . .
Acuna is driven in by Freddie to take a one run lead at the end of the 1st inning.

Tip of the cap to the Nats . . .

after their pitcher led off the 5th with a dribbler to third & Donaldson throwing it into the seats . . . The Top of their order got 4 straight hits on 5 pitches to take a 1-4 lead . . .
Soroka still throwing well . . . Just getting too much of the plate on first pitches . . .
Time to fight our way back into the game . . .
Well . . . We loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the 5th . . . Only to see Markakis line out to short and Donaldson getting doubled off at first . . . Ugh

He really did have a bit of bad luck in the 5th. The double was a hanger but not sure nats get a run there. Then the high chopper to short...

Time for Riley to do something. Break out his mini slump and get his ba back up.
Come on Braves!!!! We need this one.

After Albies draws a walk . . . McCann golfs a changup over the right field fence . . .
Pulling us to within one . . . 3-4 Nats
Their pitcher, Sanchez, was pulled after the HR

Got'em right where we want them . . . ??????

Donaldson needs to be the hero after his miscues . . .
Albies is having a tough night at the plate . . . Great job by Markakis to take second on the steal as they were paying him zero attention . . . Albies, with two strikes, only needing a single to tie the game . . . is swinging for the fence and Ks . . .
Not my style or hitting belief . . . But remember . . . I am old, time has passed me by, what worked years ago no longer apply . . . shorten and flatten your swing and put the ball in play!!!

Newcombe did a helluva job in relief for two innings!

7,8 & 9 up for the good guys in the 8th . . . Please get one on and give Acuna a chance!!!
Nice job of hitting by McCann . . . There's that old philosophy!!! . . . Inciarte to pinch run???
WOW Inciarte!!! Stole second on a pick off move . . . Setting the table perfectly for Acuna . . . Who strikes out swinging after looking at two fastball strikes right down Peachtree!!!
So frustrating . . .

Top of 9th
Jul 20, 2019, 10:22 PM
|

Beautiful job of hitting by Turner . . . hitting the outside pitch to right against the shift . . . then stealing second and scoring on a routine single . . .
I've never understood putting a shift on then pitching away . . . too easy for "old school" hitters to poke it through the hole you intentionally created
