Thanks to some good ABs with runners in scoring position and a massive dose of veteran Lairdership, the boys have a chance to sweep the Fish and head home with a three-game lead. It's always nice to sleep in your own bed—or in Chip's case, your own floor.

Expect a hard-fought contest. Expect Mr. Jen Harang to be huge. Expect whining in the GDT.

What effect will the turn of the calendar page have on JUp? I guess we won't find out today. Is anyone in the bullpen available this afternoon? Hopefully, it won't matter. Can we solve Eovaldi? Tune in at 1:10 while we sort this deal out.

Do you know what channel the game will be on(GA)? Yesterday it was on Fox Sports 1 and I don't get it and that was the first Braves game I can remember not being on cable.

MLB.com says FSSO.

That's been the key. He may not be in the lineup today, but his leadership will be felt from the dugout.

I hope he took it easy on Shae Simmons last night during their bonding dinner.

Expecting Harang to be huge today

No JUp? Bummer.

Also Julio you got Turner pitching again

Yeah, that's pretty much a given.

Expecting TLS to get a doublr and 2 bbs then Fredi sub Pena for "defensive purposes".

Haven't complained about Fredi in a while, but I wish he'd just put JUp in the lineup. He's been our best hitter, and he's our superstar, so play him every day unless he's showing obvious wear.

me neither, but CJ needs a day off, he's 0-6 vs Evoldi. And BJ is 0-7, him too. Sitting Justin for Doumit makes no sense unless he's nicked up.

FS1 has replaced Fox for the Sat afternoon national game of the week, so if they choose to show the Braves no one else can. Will only happen on Saturdays.

The blackouts still exist though? Also yesterday was the first time I noticed FS1 had the Saturday game. Does TBS no longer have a game on Sundays?

Justin has played in all, but two games this season. I think he can have a day off. At least we are trotting out a lineup of Doumit, Laird, Uggla, and Pena.

Technically no.

FOX still has a Saturday GOTW but it's usually AFTER the FS1 broadcast. LA-Pittsburgh were on National Fox a few hours after Braves-Marlins began.

Sorry Bravos, not watching this game, because it's US Soccer day.

Go Bravos though!

Lol. Things better than American soccer.

Form starters nails on a chalk board.

TLS just makes the lineup so much more solid. Gives us another hitter instead of a hole
