    Who got sent down or released?

    Glad he's finally been called up.

    Would imagine Bourjos. But with it being confirmed late last night and no move announced yet, I wonder if there are more moves being made.
    Get off my lawn!

    I'd like to see...

    Up... Flowers, acuna, and Corbin clouse
    Down/dfa... Perez, bourjas, and fried

    Who knows if clouse is ready, but I think he is probably as good as any of up/DFA/back to Gwinnett club

    If we're calling up a reliever from Mississippi, give me Jacob Webb.

    He's killing it this year. I think clouse has more upside though, which could mean we should leave him down longer

    Didn't realize how close Acuna came to originally signing with the Royals. That's gotta make Royals fans sick to their stomach to know they were a phone call away from having a potential generational talent.

    Or a few days earlier vs the Nats if Gio is pitching.

    Or whenever the Braves are scheduled to see another LHer.
    Can anyone guess which hand Finnegan uses to throw the baseball?

    Especially since he has options and (seemingly) isn’t presently considered an option for more PA with Cobb County.

    That prediction is already 2/3 wrong. If Bourjos gets dumped at least tehteh will be 1/3...a solid improvement for him!

    Your baseball IQ is higher than his. Your emotional intelligence isn't even close.

    Good morning stalker. How was the night sleeping in the weeds? Warm enough?

    Did you watch that episode of Modern Family where you stole that line through my window?
