Happy Striderday, friends. The Braves and Rays meet in Game 2 of the final series before the All-Star game in a couple hours.
Spencer Strider (10-2, 3.66) vs. Taj Bradley (5-4, 5.27).
Let’s hope for more than two hits and two runs tonight as we try to win series #11 in a row!
Braves, Rays Game 2 – Game Thread
The crowd sounds like the game is at Truist.
The Rays are really getting Murphied this wknd.
SEAN MURPHY!
If Ronald wasn’t having a season for the ages, Murphy might be the front runner for MVP
We have the top 3 MVP candidates, IMO. We do t even mention Olson, which is unbelievable with what’s he’s done in the first half.
Acuna, Murphy, Olson… we got a bunch of ’em this year.
Strider’s on-point tonight.
Sean Murphy is unreal.
Seems like MHII has gone back into a slump.
Riley, too. He’s hit some balls on the nose, but neither is going very good lately.
Is this team really that good? Murphy is winning this series almost by himself with 5 RBI and two CS. Braves pitchers have given up one run so far this series.
Yes. It’s a team sport and heroes are throughout this whole team. Apparently, it’s Sean Murphy’s hour.
For those that participated, I have 0 idea how “the next Brave to throw a no-hitter” isn’t Spencer Strider. Dude’s gonna do it at some point.
Truth
Whatever Minter hurt he said “it’s F*cked”. Uh, that’s no good
I thought he said “It’s fine”. But my lip reading is not so good. With a long break coming, I assumed they were being extremely precautious.
Well, looks like the need for a lefty reliever just went way up.
Welp, that was a screwup.
Why are Rays homers calling a national broadcast?
I’m not watching. What happens to Minter?
I hope you are right Roger. Hopefully I saw it wrong
