Guessing he'll be back this weekend. Maybe 2nd or 3rd game vs the Marlins.

Surely the Braves already flew Elder down to Miami yesterday after the PPD, right?

[thewupk]

start time for game 2?

[bravesfanMatt]

So the mets threw a bullpen game and has their pen in better shape for game 2 than the Braves do. We used more pitchers and if you follow conventional wisdom, those pitchers won't be available tonight. We burned Anderson for 12 pitches and Minter for 19 pitches and Chavez for 9 pitches.

Wait, game two starts at 4:45 p.m.?

Yes. New CBA rules prevents a day/night doubleheader on travel days. So there isn't much time between games.

Time to break open another case of Coors Light and Peptobysmol

On a side note, Minter has to be livid about some of the pitches he’s been getting beaten on. He’s made some mistakes but the 96 MPH pitch to Escobar that was a homer was EXACTLY where Murphy wanted it. Just awful luck

[UNCBlue012]

You’ve got to be kidding me

[UNCBlue012]

Ronnie is dramatic but if he can’t stay in the game, he’s in a ton of pain. Dammit

Where the hell was he hit? Radio made it sound like it wasn’t that bad of a spot

[Enscheff]

It hit him in the shoulder. He has been on the ground for about 5 minutes now.

I want to be positive because being hit in the back/shoulder generally doesn’t result in major injuries

But the fact that he was in that much pain and had to leave is a bad sign. Weird

[UNCBlue012]

Your teammate was possibly injured badly and you decide it’s smart to strikeout and GIDP? I mean, damn. Have a backbone.
