Lotta rain in the area ...

Lotta rain in the area ...

It doesn't look promising.

[zbhargrove]

It doesn't look promising.

This is a tough one as the heaviest rain has moved through. Still it looks like light to moderate rain could hang around a while and it’s always possible a few heavier cells could blow up again. This one could go either way.

[zbhargrove]

I think we get the game in as most of the precipitation is weakening and forecast to continue weakening. Depends if they get impatient or not but the rain may even be light enough now to play in

[UNCBlue012]

Means looks really good so far today

I think we get the game in at this pace.

[CyYoung31]

Braves aren’t hitting **** if the ump is going to call pitches like that.

[Enscheff]

Wash would have sent that guy home.

[CyYoung31]

Ump missed two calls at first that inning.

I can’t believe they’re not reviewing that play.

[Enscheff]

Means looks really good so far today

He means business today, which means the Braves offense may not have the means to score enough runs to win.

get out

[CyYoung31]

Soler shot!

[UNCBlue012]

SOLER POWER

[CyYoung31]

FREE AND EASY!

[UNCBlue012]

Regardless of the outcome, Riley is a joy to watch right now. His at-bats are consistently strong

[CyYoung31]

DU BALL!

[Enscheff]

I would not want to be a LHP facing this lineup at full strength.

[UNCBlue012]

That was a strikeout but ok

[Garmel]

That was a strikeout but ok

Contreras didn't even bother to frame it.
