Tommy Hanson of the 5.59 ERA, has been sent to AAA by the Angels
ESPN article called Chris Johnson the teams best hitter in an article today. Proving yet again they dont pay attention to the Braves.
MLB beat the streak is offering a 1 day contest to pick 57 hitters today instead of the usual 2 a day. Worse odds than the lottery but its free atleast.
Rangers release Manny Ramirez
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Jose Abreu defected yesterday. Dude can hit. Some say he's one of the best hitters in the game. He's going to get paid
Marte just dropped a fly ball that led to a blown save against the Cards. Going to extras.
Pirates locked into another epic baseball game.
Lots of crazy stuff happening in this one.
Cards win in 14.
Braves now have the best record in the NL by 2 games over the Pirates and ....only 3.5 over the Dodgers. If LA doesn't cool off, they're going to end up with the best record at season's end.
i'm surprised Ryu hasn't gotten much attention
Royals have acquired Emilio Bonifacio
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
So Pastornicky "sucks"? The Braves have liked him for a while so it's not just fans. Bonafacio can play more positions than Pastornicky (including third base). But the main reason why folks wanted him was because he can hit better than Janish. He's also likely to hit better in the NL than he has in the AL thus far, IMO. Bonafacio would've also gave us another switch hitter too.
Keep in mind, Pena did little in the AL before coming here. He was waived a number of times too. I imagine you'd say he "sucks" too before coming here.
