GDT 7/1/18 Washington Nationals (Gonzalez, G) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Arrieta)

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Not a good bunt by Williams, but not really surprising when the team bunts so infrequently and chooses instead to play for the big inning.

[zambonir]

Yup, not really Williams' fault there. Shoulda played for the three-run homer (or at least a single).

Frustrating inning

[LoneStarPhan]

First two on in the bottom of the ninth and in two more pitches, the inning is over. Having Williams bunt completely stopped the inning in its tracks. It would have been okay if he could bunt more toward third so that the pitcher couldn't field the ball and get an easy force at third, but he didn't. Looked like a good shot to win for the Phillies until the failed sacrifice attempt.

Eaton

Ball (91.0 mph two-seam fastball)
Ball (90.1 mph two-seam fastball)
Called strike (90.6 mph two-seam fastball)
Foul (84.7 mph changeup)
In play, out(s) (84.1 mph slider)

Adam Eaton grounds out to first baseman Carlos Santana.

[Philsmania]

I predict a win in the bottom of the 17th. Valentin gets the win after pitching three innings in relief.

[kikutaro]

Turner, T

Called strike (86.0 mph slider)
Swinging strike (86.9 mph changeup)
Ball (85.1 mph slider)
Foul (84.8 mph slider)
In play, no out (86.3 mph changeup)

Trea Turner singles on a line drive to center fielder Odubel Herrera.

[rkeden]

14 pitchers have been used so far by the two managers. Where is Robin Roberts when we need him?

[kikutaro]

Soto

In play, out(s) (86.3 mph changeup)

Juan Soto grounds out softly, first baseman Carlos Santana to pitcher Jake Thompson. Trea Turner to 2nd.

[kikutaro]

Rendon

Ball (85.5 mph slider)
Ball in dirt (87.4 mph changeup)
Ball (87.3 mph changeup)
Ball (85.4 mph slider)

Anthony Rendon walks.

[LoneStarPhan]

Interesting 4 pitch walk to bring up Harper.

[Varjak]

It's a pet peeve of mine that earlier we used four pitchers to get five outs and now have little left in the bullpen for extra innings. It would be nice to not have Thompson pitching to Harper here, but there's not much choice left.

[kikutaro]

Harper

Mound Visit.
Ball in dirt (87.8 mph changeup)
Foul (86.9 mph changeup)
In play, out(s) (84.1 mph slider)

Bryce Harper grounds out to first baseman Carlos Santana.

For the second inning in a row, Thompson comes through. I don't want to see him try for three. Please get a run and win this game!

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Not sure how many more shutout innings Thompson has left. I know Doolittle is their best reliever, but it sure would be nice to get a run here and go home after 3+ hours in the hot sun!
