Touki seems to be pitching better. That's a welcome sight for sore eyes.

[nsacpi]

Acuna got replaced mid-way through last night's game and didn't play today. Hopefully nothing serious.

[Deester11]

Acuna has a potential wrist issue due to a slide from what I gathered.

Hopefully amputation won't be necessary.

It didn't stop Pete Gray!

Albies with a hr

[UNCBlue012]

Albies is locked in

[Ozzie Swanson]

Oi Oi Oi

[jimsnores]

There's the power everyone's looking for! Obviously, I am kidding, but wouldn't it be nice if he went all Altuve on us? He's tiny, but that swing does generate occasional power.

[Braves1976]

Swanson 2-2 tonight, but got thrown out stealing and just got picked off first catching him not expecting it. Astudillo with a hit too and Ellis pitching well as usual.

[Braves1976]

Swanson was award a double on a pop fly to center that Bourn had caught but he and the shortstop ran into eachother knocking ball out. Swanson also got an RBI on the play.

[msstate7]

Toscano 2-3

[dak]

Ellis with one hell of a start. 7 IP, 3H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K.

[Braves1976]

Ellis pitches best game for Mississippi so far, went deeper than anyone has this season for the M-Braves. 7 scoreless innings, 3 H, 1 BB, 5 K's. Great start to season for him.

[Tapate50]

Toscano 2-3

Who?

:Alone:

[dak]

Dansby 4-4 with a 2B and 3B. Solid.

[Tapate50]

Been seeing Ellisons name a good bit. Anyone seen much of him ?

Just looked, not that pretty

[Braves1976]

Swanson with a triple on a ball that he sliced down the RF line, landed right near the RF line just out of reach of the sliding RFer. Perfect 4-4 so far thanks to the pop up double where Bourn and the shortstop crashed into eachother knocking ball loose (ruled a double).

[msstate7]

Who?

:Alone:

We're grooming him to be the next Olivera

[Braves1976]

Ruiz must be starting his bad month, 0-4 again tonight with an error. If he stays so streaky like last year, we can play "Cold as ice" as his walk-up theme song. JK.

[bravesfanMatt]

Ellis with a good game.. I would like him to throw more strikes still.. but you can't complain about the results.

Povse with a battle tested game.. he gave up more hits than normal but finished with a good start.. 7ip/7H/2ER/ZERO bb/7K... Just continues to impress me..

Touki needs to continue the solid starts.. if he can start to control his stuff, he will be ACE level easily..

Ruiz has been awful and his error really hurt his team tonight.. was big part of the 7 run inning when it could have been a double play...

[Julio3000]

Who?

:Alone:

Here's a shot of him legging out a double.

Unfortunately, they did change his double to an error on the SS.

[Braves1976]

Unfortunately, they did change his double to an error on the SS.

I thought that would be the ruling all along since it was basically a pop up and caught by Bourn before the SS and he went boom. They shouldn't tease like that, lol.

he had a high BABIP and high k-rate during his hot streak. still lots to prove.

[CJ9]

he had a high BABIP and high k-rate during his hot streak. still lots to prove.

He's at 28.5% Ks now. He's never been higher than 19.5% in a full season league in the minors, so hopefully that comes down. His walk rate is also a little low for his career.

Doing a quick glance at the International League rosters, Ruiz is the youngest player in the league (a few months younger than Durham SS Daniel Robertson) and he didn't have a banner 2015, so it's pretty obvious the Braves are pushing him aggressively. I don't know if that's a good strategy or not, but I think people need to cut him a bit of slack seeing he's in a league with guys a lot more experienced than he is. As per the K and BB ratios, as I stated yesterday about Davidson, this is kind of normal for guys as the quality of pitching improves. The only difference with Ruiz is that he's never been a high K guy, so I expect he'll adjust some.

Ruiz is younger than Albies?

[50PoundHead]

Ruiz is younger than Albies?

Sorry. Like I said, it was a quick check and I looked at everyone's roster except Gwinnett's. Albies is the youngest, followed by Ruiz and Robertson.
