Game #18- Arizona Diamondbacks @ Atlanta Braves. 4/17/19

[BC867]

Why is Bradley closing.

It's a tie game. Not a closer situation.

Archie just got a popup for the 2nd out.

Ok.

 

[BC867]

And Archie gets a soft popup to end the inning.

It's extra innings, with a day game tomorrow (which starts at 9AM Phoenix time).

A lefty is in for Atlanta.

 

[BC867]

LeCastro, pinch hitting for Archie, with a bunt hit and makes 2B on a bad throw, with one out.

D-backs now have just one position player left on the bench -- their third Catcher.

And now a walk to Dyson. Runners on 1B and 2B. Great speed on the bases.

LeCastro, pinch hitting for Archie, with a bunt hit and makes 2B on a bad throw, with one out.

Nice!

 

[BC867]

Escobar, batting righty against the lefty is out on a good catch in CF.

The Freight Train is up with two outs.

 

[BC867]

Peralta walks to load the bases. Up comes our cleanup hitter, Adam Jones.

The Braves are leaving the LH pitcher in.

 

[BC867]

Third walk in the inning walks in the go-ahead run.

Walker is waiting for the pitching change.

Third walk in the inning walks in the go-ahead run.

Walker is waiting for the pitching change.

Atlanta's bull pen is horrible.

Did Walker just let the last strike by or was it a bad call?

 

[BC867]

Atlanta's bull pen is horrible.

Well, the pitcher they just brought up left the bases loaded.

Now it is up to our closer (here he is, Shaggy ),Holland, for the save.

 

[BC867]

Did Walker just let the last strike by or was it a bad call?

I glanced away, but I am pretty sure it was a swinging strike.

 

[BC867]

Greg Holland strikes out two but then gives up a blooper single to the opposite field.

 

[BC867]

Holland with the save.

 

[BC867]

Greg Holland, our new closer, has started out looking like he could be the best we've ever had.

 

[Dback Jon]

Great win

 

[1Sun]

Holland and Jones have been fantastic signings.

 

[AZ Native]

.500 and only 2 games out after the rough start against the Doyers. Not bad.

Did Walker just let the last strike by or was it a bad call?

It was a horrible call. He didn't swing. Ump felt bad for Braves

Two games in a row that were exciting to watch. I'm happy. I'm not expecting to be a playoff team, but this team seems to be playing with a lot more heart than I expected after the Dodgers series. I love watching Walker and I'm really surprised at Adam Jones (in a great way). Holland has been calming.

I might even believe we go 75-87 or some such and show signs of being able to significantly improve in the future. It is downright refreshing. Hope it lasts.

It mostly depends on the pitching -- starters and relievers.
