193 pitches were thrown by the Atlanta Braves in last night’s 9-inning game. The Braves only recorded 4 hits in the game. They only had 8 base-runners. They struck out 11 times. They walked 9 Dodgers. The closer threw 31 pitches by himself. 4 ‘starting pitchers’ were used.
Yet some how… some way… this team managed to hold the Dodgers at bay just enough to win.
That brings us to this afternoon’s contest… a quick turn-around at an odd time that could make for some difficult sun (especially in left field) and some difficult shadows (for the hitters).
