He might

Bowman: Fried was not available to talk after the game because he's being evaluated away from the stadium.

Why is he being evaluated for an ankle tweak?

seeing if it needs to be amputated or not

Can Charlie Culberson be stretched out in the next 10 days?

[thewupk]

As the world turns. Braves currently would play the Giants.

Braves also have essentially a 3 game lead over the Cubs for the #2 seed as the Braves own the tie-breaker

Isn't the 1st tie breaker after head to head record, record within division?? If that's the case, Cubs own that tie breaker.

Cubs are 22-17 vs the Central. We are 24-15 vs the East. Even if they won tonight and we lost, we'd still win this tie breaker.

More on tie breakers

From MLB.com

The first tiebreaker is head-to-head record (if applicable). If that's also a tie, the next tiebreaker is intradivision record. If that's still a tie, the next is record in the final 20 division games (plus one until the tie is broken).

OK! Thanks. The past series vs Fish and Cubs vs Pitts changed everything.

Where are the Luke haters now. 4 innings from a pen guy with 2 runs. Kept us in this until the offense exploded. Come on guys. Come out and say sorry.

Still dont want him pitching anywhere in the playoffs unless we're up or down 5+ runs. O'Day, Minter, Tomlin, Greene, MM, Martin, Smith should be all we need or use from the pen.

[Heyward]

AA said Fried is fine and should be good to go on Wednesday.

[Heyward]

If tonights game is rained out, i hope we just forfeit, 2 seed is just about locked up.

I'd rather Freeman get the ABs to cement the MVP.

Those four at bats wouldn’t mean anything as far as that goes and we don’t need a single bullpen guy having to throw on Monday when the plow start on Wednesday

Meh, those AB's dont really mean anything and we'll need our pen as rested as possible with no days off.

Maybe maybe not. As far as the bullpen goes. Let's be real. If we are using Ynoa, Wilson, Jackson, Webb, etc then something horrible has happened. Those are the pitchers who would pitch in that type of game.

No Riley in lineup tonight. Hurt? Hech getting a shot? Just rest?

Quad tightness. No biggie
