Ozzie Albies - .287 avg 4 HR 23 RBI .823 OPS (3 SB, 29 Runs)

 

[death2redemptions]

But wait...following the Markakis' hit, Suzuki blasts a 2 run bomb!!

5 straight hits

5-0 Braves

 

[death2redemptions]

Six straight hits!

 

[death2redemptions]

Kurt Suzuki has hit 17 HR in just 252 at-bats!

We should bring him back next year and this time make him the everyday catcher as I've always thought he should be.

 

[death2redemptions]

3 no-hit innings for Newcomb

 

[death2redemptions]

OUCH! Albies took one for the team, right in the side.

 

[death2redemptions]

Nuke em looking good thru five tonight - 5 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 5 K

 

[death2redemptions]

Another extra base hit for Ender!

Ender Chase for 200 hits
Current Hit Total: 194
Current Projection: 205

1st K for Gohara

 

[death2redemptions]

Scoreless 1st inning for Gohara - 1 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K

Gohara may have a 5.82 ERA up to this point but his 2.62 FIP suggets he's performed FAR batter than his ERA would suggest. This is mostly due to his 17:4 strikeout to walk rate & only 1 HR allowed in 17.1 IP

 

[death2redemptions]

Leadoff hit for Ender

Ender Chase for 200 hits
Current Hit Total: 195
Current Projection: 205

He just needs 5 more hits in these final 9 games.

 

[death2redemptions]

2nd K for Gohara

Got him with the slider this time

 

[death2redemptions]

Perfect 2nd inning for the big man - 2 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 2 K

18 strikeouts to 4 walks (4.50 K/BB)

 

[death2redemptions]

Markakis has already thrown out two runners trying to advance to 2nd!

 

[death2redemptions]

No strikeouts but another scoreless inning for Gohara - 3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 0 BB, 2 K

 

[death2redemptions]

3rd K for Gohara. Beat him with a changeup.

That's a pitch he doesn't use that often but he's been using it today along with a 2 seam fastball and not as many high velocity 4 seamers

 

[death2redemptions]

For the moment Gohara has brought his ERA back under 5.00 (4.95)

 

[death2redemptions]

Uh oh...Gohara issued his first walk. This is generally a sign of trouble.

The velocity on his fastball has been way down. He's kept it in the 92-94 range for most of the day when it's generally around 95-98

Lots and lots of changeups too.

 

[death2redemptions]

Allowed a hit & walk but Gohara kept the Phils from scoring in the 4th - 4 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 3 K

 

[death2redemptions]

Gohara gave up a solo shot in the 5th but also struck out the side in the process - 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K
