Six pitch first inning for Folty, that's a great sign. And I will pre-emptively say, I think his last few starts we've all rushed to call a "meltdown" as soon as he gives up a run when I think he's gotten more of a handle on it since his early disaster this year.

Meanwhile Inciarte takes up 11 of Cole's pitches by himself before singling. Cole generally owns the Braves, so good early sign.
Phillips eating him alive too, 20 pitches no out yet.

What the hell I just turned the game on. What happened?

First ends with a checked swing turning into a squeeze as Bell comes from third. Suzuki gets the ball near the line, Bell goes way wide to avoid the tag and the ump immediately calls him out for leaving the basepath. It's not controversial but Hurdle come out to argue and is tossed before he barely gets a word out.

I'm curious why they're batting Rio ahead of Dansby, he'd gotten hot again by the time they had to call Ruiz up so let him hit seventh at least ahead of the new kid in town?

I guess they wanted to get the full game in. This is the Pirates only trip to Atlanta and they probably didn't want to try to pick it up before the next one because of traffic.
Yeah I was thinking it wouldn't be a big deal to play two or three innings tomorrow but I guess that is more of a logistical problem than I was considering,

Nice play from Dansby, made a few today.

Organist still going strong.

I was only playing half-attention to this game until an inning ago, I assumed when Garcia came to bat he was at like 90 pitches. 78 a batter into the seventh? Nice.
