    Rafael Ortega promoted to Atlanta, with Weigel correspondingly optioned.

    GCL Braves come back from an early 4-run deficit to gut out an 8-7 win against the GCL Pirates. Grissom and Backstrom both 2/4. 2 RBI for Grissom, 1 for Backstrom. 3 RBI for Eliezel Stevens without a hit. Paolini 1/1 with 3 BB. Free agent RHP Brent Burgess gets his first professional win. Burgess was primarily a SS at Spartanburg Methodist College in 2016 and 2017 before becoming a pitcher at Middle Georgia College in 2018. He went back to playing SS at Middle Gwinnett College this past season. He was drafted in the 40th round in 2016 by the Texas Rangers and 38th round by the New York Yankees in 2017

    DSL Braves lose 5-3 to DSL Astros. All Astros' runs were unearned. Wilmer Smith goes 3/4, Geraldo Quintero goes 2/4, and Alexander Then goes 2/4. LHP Osiris Sierra is the tough-luck losing pitcher.

    Interesting to see them going with a lefty hitter. Could be a sign that there will be more platooning in left. With Joyce in the lineup more (or maybe Ortega down the road) and Duvall on the bench more, it makes a certain amount of sense. If the plan was to keep playing Duvall everyday they probably would have gone with a RHH (LaMarre) as a bench bat.

    It's almost like AAA started using the same juiced ball they use at the MLB level...

    The Braves didn't acquire an OFer at the deadline, and are now carrying Rafael Ortega on the 25 man roster...

    Yeah, but he's probably about to hit 10 hrs in 10 games.

    True, I am not taking into account the 2019 MLB debut bump all Braves hitters have been getting.

    Pedro Ciriaco would be thriving in this juiced ball era.

    It is currently so easy to hit a HR the value of one is at an all time low since 1930:

    I feel like that might be problematic. But maybe I shouldn’t. I guess it doesn’t matter, every thing tends to even out some way or another.

    He didn't retire until after the 2017 season, so he'll have to wait until 2023 for his assured first-ballot HoF vote.

    Fire Frogs beat Bradenton 6-0 in the first game of their DH behind Brooks Wilson. 2-run HR for Wilkins. 2-run 2B for Josephina. 2 hits apiece for Lugbauer (edging ever closer to the Melvin Mendoza line) and Logan Brown.

    I took pity on you and decided to be your friend.

    Then I saw that you restarted the debate about trading Freeman. You have no one to blame for your friendless state but yourself.
