Braves actually lost. Had the tying run on in the 9th but GIDP'd to end it. Only hit 2 HRs which is six under their recent average. Phils are about to win a DH

We're at 100% in our GiDP success tonight: 2 ABs in GiDP situations/2 GiDPs I'm convinced we league the league in such. And if data proves me wrong I'll declare them to be fraudulent.
So after Nimmo's leadoff 2B was briefly called a HR, who'd have thought that the top NYM offensive highlight for the rest of the night would be a catcher's interference call?

Two ChiSox pitchers, 40+ pitches,10 batters, but only four runs as Acuna, in his second AB of the inning, flew out with the bases loaded for the 3rd out.
I would think that baseball fans who hang out in a baseball board might tend to care about when baseball games are or aren't being played ... but that's just speculation out of left field.
I'm oddly enjoying this mini vacay from baseball. I've long thought ASG Wednesday was the longest day of the year and then when they tacked on the Thursday off day it seemed damn near inhuman But I felt like I needed it this year, i dunno, maybe because the Joon Swwon was so exhausting or something. That said, I forgot that Friday is 🍏 📺 and now I'm really pissed!
The Yanx also fired their hitting coach prior to the ASB, notable only in that it's the first in-season axing of anyone significant during the Cashman years so maybe a hint of desperation is in the Bronx air. They also shunned any in-house replacements as ex-Cincy star Sean 'The Mayor' Casey is their new man. Don't know if he can teach but he sure can talk.
I was tired, went to bed early (and still overslept!!) so missed most of the game and didn't even know the winner until reading this thread at lunchtime.
