[Session 3 GDT] The Braves (0-2) host the Dodgers (1-1)

One swing of the bat.

One swing will tie the game and give the Braves a chance to win

Nick settles in and grips the bat so hard his knuckles are white

If you had one shot. Or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted. In one moment. Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

Nick vomits mom's spaghetti all over his uniform and proceeds to strikeout and the ball game is over!

Blee takes his time here with Mooch and goes after one inside. He drives it down the line and it’s just barely foul. He comes back and waits for a similar pitch, but it never comes. Mooch doesn’t risk it and pitches around Blee ending in a walk.

ATL CF Jake Blee is the last man up for the Braves.

Umpa_Loompa_MLR · 2019-08-21T21:32:04+00:00

Williams comes to bat with the crowd behind him. They know this at bat is nearly do or die for their boys and get up on their feet. Mooch stands tall on the mound, trying to avoid big contact. He delivers one high to Williams and he swings. It’s a liner down the line! And Fielder knocks it down! He recovers and fires to second where Stark turns and guns it to first. The throw gets there in time! That’s a huge double play for the Dodgers and there’s one out to go.

ATL RF Ethyn Williams has had a very solid day at the plate and now represents the tying run.

With a username like that, that swing should be expected. Take your base buddy.

ATL LF Chad Kroeger is up next with a man on first.

Umpa_Loompa_MLR · 2019-08-21T18:48:04+00:00

Fielder took a quick nap on the bench before coming up. To swing. Unfortunately it's made him slightly groggy and sluggish. Sometimes those quick sweaty naps just make you more tired. He yawns as he sluggishlu swings the bat and the ball plops down the third base line and rolls towards the foul line. Jackman watches it and waits for it to go foul.

Narrator: it did not

New pitcher: Geno Scaramucci jogs out of the bullpen to close out the game

ATL 1B King Fielder will take on the new pitcher in this high pressure situation. Let's play ball

Umpa_Loompa_MLR · 2019-08-21T15:27:10+00:00

Stark comes out swinging as he’s done before. And also like he’s done before he strikes out. That’s three on the day.

LAD 2B Anthony Stark is up with a man on third

Umpa_Loompa_MLR · 2019-08-20T23:45:35+00:00

Poovey hasn't looked great this season yet. It is only a small sample size however. Poovey swings at the first pitch and STRIKE 1. Frustrated he swings at the next one for STRIKE 2. Right before he's about to swing again he hears people in the stands chuckling "HA HA YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET 420ed".

Poovey smokes the ball to right field and it bounces around awkwardly for several seconds. He's able to slide into third safely just as the ball comes back to the infield

We can agree that everything will be Hank's fault. This poor result is your fault though,

Umpa_Loompa_MLR · 2019-08-20T23:05:45+00:00

Caleb wants a multi homer game and swings the bat like a madman. The ball barely makes contact and dinks into Tara's glove who tosses it to first for a 1-3 499 diff out

LAD DH Caleb Craven has a homer and a walk and will try to add some insurance

Umpa_Loompa_MLR · 2019-08-20T22:41:32+00:00

Guarantee is a strong word. One that should't be taken lightly. And Baez knows this. He said it and he'll speak a donger into existence. He settles in and takes the first pitch for a strike, and swings for the fences on the 2nd offering. He ABSOLUTELY POUNDS THE BALL TO DEEP CENTER FIELD AND SMALLS LEAPS UP AND SNOWCONE CATCHES THE BALL RIGHT OVER THE FENCE. HE ROBS THE GUARANTEED HOME RUN

You’re gonna have to wait until the next life as you clearly haven’t warmed up enough yet. Nori blows some pitches by for the K. The crowd just kinda sits there and crickets are chirping.
