Wilson getting shelled early.

Gausman might take that Wilson start

Bryce gave up 9 earned runs tonight.

Wilson got all the runs he wanted to give up out of the way tonight. So he can shine next game.

Wilson clearly pouting about being back in AAA

I'm beginning to wonder if he even loves baseball.

Shewmake finally going through a drought

We should trade him for a big package

Waters 3-5. 12-23 over his last 6 games. Damn BABIP fooling us.

So happy to see a good start for Gausman.

I wonder if he used the mlb ball or the aa ball

Not quite sure 0-13 quite represents a "slump" for Shewmake - cooling off, sure. Very few players go through a season without having a 3 game stretch without a hit.

Quite a game for Ajax. If we get Stroman, , he may need Ajax to clean him up if he gets into something he can't shake.

On the plus side, great job of limiting the damage if only 9 runs scored off 78 hits.


*Note: finding the typo funny in no way diminishes my very sincere appreciation for Rico's consistently excellent work.

Getting Gausman and/or Folty back to what we expect from them could be equivalent to adding anyone not named Thor.

The Braves also need Inciarte to get back to his 3 win ways sooner rather than later.

I have an odd (perhaps very odd) perspective on Alex Jackson. Provided he proves he can hit big-league pitching (debatable at this point), would it make sense for the Braves to give him at least some reps in the OF? I have no idea what his OF defense looked like in the low minors, but with the 26th man coming next season, if Jackson could hit some, he might be a decent bench guy who could be the 3rd C and back-up as a RHH cOF.

Of course, my odd perspective is predicated on Jackson's ability to hit and adequately play a cOF. By that logic, I would have been a much better high school basketball player (for the record, I was terrible) if I would have been 6-foot-8.
