...and a check-swing strike 3. 3 up, 3 down. To the bottom of the 1st.

Bradfield 1st pitch bouncer to perfectly positioned 1B, Young flies out to CF almost identically to the #2 GA hitter. Weird. Keegan swinging K. Scoreless to 2nd.

Leiter walks the leadoff man. Big swinging K on breaking ball, 1st out. Called strike 3 for 2nd out; hitter disagreed, but it looked like a great pitch from my Lazy Boy. And the 3rd out is a swinging strike 3 on another sweet breaking ball. Leiter looks good so far.

We have really lost our hitting. What's up? We aren't even hitting fouls, just striking out.

Leiter Ks leadoff man in 3rd on fastball up and away after strike 2 was a big, slow breaking ball. Wow!

3rd out line drive to EBjr in center. 7 Ks + 2 routine flies to CF = 9 outs, zero runs. To the 3rd, Charleston is right, need some contact!

No contact yet. Jones Ks on sweeping breaking ball, 2nd out.

Alas, EBjr bounces out to 2B, can't use the baserunner. GA pitcher remains sharp, only 39 pitches thru 3 to 43 for Leiter. Great pitching tonight, unlike last night.

Unlucky. Great Leiter slider for strike 3 hit the plate and caroomed over CJ's head. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Runner on 1st, no outs. Is caroomed a word? Hmmm...is now.

Walks the next guy on 3-2 pitch, just missed down and in. 2 on, nobody out. Let's see what Leiter the Fighter can do here...

Infield fly and 6-3 DP gets the outs, but only after a soft liner RBI single to CF gives GA a 1-0 lead after 3.5 innings. EBjr may have had a play at the plate, but held the runner at 2nd instead. The one thing we haven't seen from EBjr so far is a strong arm. Maybe there's a reason.

Young reaches on E-4. 2B was in shift, made the E from SS location. A start...

CJ 3-pitch walk. What? Intentional walk, no final pitch after falling behind 3-0. Noland needs to come through...
