And the Royals go down 1, 2, 3 in the first . . .

2 weak ground balls and a backwards K on their #3 hitter . . . Let's Go Braves!!!
Acuna hits a first pitch rope to short for out #1 Dansby single to left Freddie lined out center for out #2 Donaldson works the count full . . . Dansby is in motion . . . Donaldson drills it off the left center fence . . . Braves up 1-0 . . . Donaldson takes second Markakis grounds out to second to end the inning
Nice start Braves!!!

Pulled out my foam tomahawk from 91. It’s a little crunchy, but it still works!

Just for my friend joining in tonight:
And the Royals go down in order once more in the Top of the second inning!
Albies leads off with a double ripped down the left field line Riley K for out #1 (Stranded Club) Flowers ground out for out #2 (Stranded Club), Albies advances to third Keuchel K to end the inning (Stranded Club)
End of 2 innings . . . Braves up 1-0

Ole Riley is on a roll. Thought he was going to breakout.
Speaking of which, is that you Sam in ur younger days... second from the left? You can tell us Sam- we know you’re following this thread.

I have switched to Gametracker, but I'll keep up . . .
Keuchel is pitching a gem so far!!! Let's get him a couple more runs!!! He's faced the minimum through three!!!

Thank you and kudos for keeping your chop around all these years...
can’t for the life of me figure out what happened to ours. I guess it just got lost in the moves.

You're on your own . . . You know better!
In the bottom of third when Acuna got "hit by pitch" . . . Did it effect his ability to run? . . . I was expecting him to attempt a steal once Freddie struck out . . . Oh well . . .

At least your boy, Riley, found a single . . .
Jul 23, 2019, 8:41 PM

He was heading to the barren .200 mark in a hurry!!!
We started the game squaring every pitch . . . Even the outs were hard hit and squared!!! I don't recognize our guys now! Just have to refocus . . .
Keuchel gets through the fifth unscathed . . . He is still pitching his butt off!!! Come On Braves, get him a few runs!!!
We are tied 1-1 heading to the bottom of 5
What a waste?!!! Keuchel hits a 2-2 pitch to center for a double to lead off the inning Acuna walks Dansby take a called strike for out #1 (Stranded Club) Freddie goes down swinging out #2 (Stranded Club) Donaldson is hit by a 3-0 pitch, bases loaded Markakis TAKES A CALLED THIRD STRIKE to end the inning (joins the Stranded Club)
PITIFUL!!! Put the ball in play . . . Good things might happen!!! Jeez!!!!!!!

I can’t say i believe what i just witnessed... seriously, your pitcher gets a leadoff double and no one made contact after that... wow.

Can't blame Keuchel for pitching around the next hitter, Dozier, as he is their hottest hitter.
Let's get out of this mess and hit the dammm ball!!!

Sadly . . . an excellent strike out of Acuna . . .
Jul 23, 2019, 10:38 PM
|

He cannot hit a high inside fastball!!! By Gametracker, every pitch was up there!!!
Soooo sick of called third strikes!!!
Tip of the cap to Culberson . . . and Acuna joins the Stranded Club . . . that makes 9 for the game!!!
(Stranded Club??? Failed at bats w/ runners in scoring position)

Bottom of 9
Jul 23, 2019, 11:01 PM
|

Nice job by Swanson, Freddie and Donaldson all with singles to get us to within 1 with no outs!!!
Markakis failed (ground out) Albies failed (pop out to 3rd) Riley failed (K)
12 "at bats" failed to bring in a runner in scoring position . . . "The Tell of the Tape"
Awful way to lose a game you should have won . . . Oh - we also walked 5 and hit one batter . . . Freebies will lose ballgames too!!!!!!!
I love baseball . . . but hate poorly played baseball . . . which this was. Ughhh

Don’t think Riley will be playing tomorrow night but as you said... thought it might be another miracle comeback but three good chances to get the game tied or won and came up empty.
Tough one to watch w sooo many chances.

for Riley instead of saving him for Flowers at-bat. Riley is too consistent (in a bad way) right now.
