[sportsfan882]

there it is. great changeup to Uggla. Perfect

[tomterp]

Strasburg finding his filthy stuff now

Indeed, he's got the change working now.

Atlanta announcer has "no problem" with the ump getting the call wrong at home.. lol    

Hello all! Rookie here.. DC native, Skins, Caps, Bullets, Nats.. Living in Fl, fishing as much as I can.. Mick

[CapsnNats]

It's super frustrating when you see pitches like a few of these that are freaking dirty and then the crap he was nibbling with earlier. He is a STRIKEOUT pitcher.

[ajcartwright]

would you make this trade
Espinosa for Uggla
now let's play GM

No, what's the point

Welcome aboard.

[spidernat]

Strasburg found himself.

[Slateman]

Holy fyluck ... where did that come from

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Did WJFK crap out on MLB.tv for anyone else? I'm stuck listening to Not Charlie and Not Dave.

[sportsfan882]

wow 97 mph. Strasburg's strongest inning of the night. At 93 pitches you'd be tempted to leave him in there to hit and then pitch the 7th.

He hasn't thrown this hard all night. Nor has he been throwing the changeup like this.

[spidernat]

Leave him in to see if he can work through another frame.

Hello Mick, welcome. 

In between Stras starts what kind of fishing you doing?  Tarpon?  Bones?  Snook?

'Nuff of this pitch to contact bullsh!t.  Can't score if you can't get on.

[welch]

Braves announcers are pleasant, under-play it, and pretty good. Yes, sometimes Bob and FP can over-do it.

[sportsfan882]

Leave him in to see if he can work through another frame.

Even with his spot due up first?

We need some runs but I think you may be right.

Hell yes, except he IS due up. 

Still, love to see him gain strength and confidence.

[Displaced Bucco]

I'd let him hit...he's got a silver slugger!

[sportsfan882]

Lombo to PH

[Jordanz Meatballz]

I hate that I can predict the pinch-hitter.

Send up Bernadina to try to hit a bomb.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I'd let him hit...he's got a silver slugger!

I'd have let him hit with 2 strikes in the 2d or 5d inning with runners on 1st and 2d.

Seems like it took forever to loosen up tonight.
