Since Jonathan F. decided on the title of last night’s recap as “Not Tonight”, it seems fitting that we bring back the magic of Phil Collins x3: for Spencer Schwellenbach.
TONIGHT, TONIGHT, TONIGHT
I’m coming down, coming down like a monkey
But it’s alright
Like a load on your back that you can’t see
Ooh, but it’s alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go
Just get it away from me, oh
‘Cause tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
I’m gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
I’m going down, going down like a monkey
Ooh, but it’s alright
Try to pick yourself up
Carry that weight that you can’t see
Don’t you know it’s alright?
It’s like a helter skelter
Going down and down, ’round and ’round
But just get it away from me, oh
Braves and Phillies Game 2, Spencer Schwellenbach vs. Ranger Suarez
Ranger Suarez takes the mound against Spencer Schwellenbach, but the real competition in tonight’s game is not the Braves vs. the Phillies, rather it’s the battle between Genesis and Daryl Hall and John Oates, both from Philly. After looking at these pictures, it’s pretty obvious who I’m taking:
John Oates definitely played an orc in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings while Phil Collins was galavanting cross-country collecting Davey Crockett memorabilia.I’ll take Davey over an orc.
Braves Lineup
It’s Jarred Kelenic and the RHHs on tap tonight. I hope they can find the magic once again because losing sucks. Spencer Schwellenbach, the stage is your’s. Don’t suck.
So with Schwellenbach already giving up 6 hits through 4 innings the first two times through the lineup, I hope Snit will at least get someone starting to get ready at the first sign of trouble in the fifth.
Nice start, Schwellenbach!
From DOB’s twitter:
Schwellenbach: 6 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 6 K, 60 strikes/81 pitches.
Suárez: 5 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 7 K, 2 HR
Let’s just say it…Sean Murphy was a huge mistake.
This team’s lack of ability to put the ball in play iis unreal
Runners on second and third with no outs … and bupkis. Duvall swings at ball 4. Same stuff, different day.
Yep. My feeling exactly. I can’t believe they didn’t score at least one. I thought Duvall was supposed to hit lefties. He can’t even make contact. Give me Senzel and Rosario….. oy
Atta boy Ozzie!
PDQ!
PDQ made it look as simple as ABC. He’s coming along nicely, even if Wainwright’s comparison of him to Maddux might have been a wee bit ambitious.
Go get ’em tomorrow, Braves.
Hate to say it, JonathanF, but it looks like you caught a case of rally COVID!
Going to see Reynaldo pitch for the first time this year. There’s not ever a must-win game in July, but this one would be nice to have.
