Was Blake Snell tipping pitches? Dodgers legend weighs in after Braves take Game 2
Blake Snell’s rough Game 2 outing drew fresh debate after the Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 to tie the NLDS 1-1, with some speculation that the left-hander may have been tipping pitches. Former Dodgers star Justin Turner pushed back on the idea that Atlanta could easily identify Snell’s breaking balls from a visible tell. Turner argued that any difference in glove movement was too subtle to recognize consistently in real time from the batter’s box, despite video that social media users slowed down and zoomed in. On the mound, Snell threw 90 pitches over 3⅔ innings, allowing three hits, one run, walking five and striking out five, while only 47 were strikes. Those walks forced Los Angeles to use the bullpen early, and Atlanta scored with a tripled by Michael Harris II and a wild pitch by Kris Bubic.
