'There's a few other guys in baseball, but more than anybody we face, he's the biggest challenge,' Kevin Long said of Spencer Strider.
ATLANTA — Usually, after pitches, he’ll decompress by discussing the outing with his wife, Marissa. They allow themselves a small window to talk about baseball. “But,” Hoffman said, “I don’t like bringing work back into the house at night.” Marissa will be at Truist Park on Saturday night and they will likely have something to talk about because Hoffman is a pivotal person in this much-anticipated National League Division Series.
And, if he is effective, maybe he keeps going. “Something I would like to do differently is go deeper in the game,” Suárez said. The Phillies are OK if he doesn’t. “I feel good,” Suárez said. “I think it’s going to be a beautiful day tomorrow.” Solving Strider Spencer Strider works out Friday at Truist Park. He is scheduled to start Games 1 and 4. The Braves’ pitching plan for Game 1 is drastically different. They will hand the ball and hope he pitches into the eighth inning.
