[Braves1976]

I'm getting ready to watch Gwinnett vs Norfolk on my android tablet. I'll try to catch the Mississippi game later too. Anyone else watching via MILB.TV tonight?

[Braves1976]

Peraza had a clear hit in the first called a catch and out. He slashed a liner to RF that clearly bounced and was then trapped. It really wasn't that close but called and out. Snitker argued but the call stood.

Tides winning 1-0 still batting in the second. The only credited hit so far for the Braves is a double by Hunter.

[Braves1976]

Peraza looking good so far tonight, should be 2-2. His last AB he worked the count to 3-2 before hitting a solid single up the middle. As I noted earlier, the ump made a bad call costing him a hit in the first.

Monitoring on the MiLB app and Foltynewicz looks to be doing well so far. Only 3 baserunners through 5 IP (68 pitches).

[Braves1976]

I'm now watching the Mississippi game, Ruiz is back in there at third. Smith didn't start this one like his previous three, he popped out on the first pitch.

[dak]

Update: Ended up going 8 in CG loss. Great outing. 105 pitches, 3H, 1ER, 1BB, 9K.

Hell of a game from Folty. I assume he's done after 93 pitches. 7 IP, 3H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K.

There is just so much pitching coming. This is just like the late 90's early 2000's. Love it!

[Braves1976]

I see Peraza had another hit in the 8th, that should've been his third of the game. So good to see the kid bounce back tonight. Folty may get a complete game loss tonight. He had them chasing the high fastball a lot tonight from what I watched through six innings. He also got away with some hanging change-ups when they were obviously looking fastball.

I'm watching the Mississippi game now, not going so good for Hursh after a good first two innings. He just walked in two runs with two outs.

BTW, Mississippi's defense could be a lot better. It's 4-0 after a two out bloop single in the third that I thought was catchable in LF.

[Braves1976]

Folty did get a 1-0 complete game loss tonight, Gwinnett game just ended.

[Braves1976]

Johan Camargo 1-2 so far tonight for Carolina including a triple and 3 RBI's. He's hitting .360 in the early going. It's also good to see Albies bounce back tonight with a mult-hit game.

[50PoundHead]

Folty did get a 1-0 complete game loss tonight, Gwinnett game just ended.

Nice game. AAA is in a different galaxy from the majors, but it was great to see him go all 8 with a manageable pitch count and a solid strike-to-ball ratio.

[Braves1976]

Agreed. It's too bad Gwinnett didn't score a few runs to get him a win.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Mallex Smith with a two run double for the M-Braves.

[Braves1976]

Mallex Smith with a two run double for the M-Braves.

Yep, that was a bullet to the gap and would've cleared the bases and been a stand-up triple if not for the no doubles defense. That rally led to the 4 run 8th and now Mississippi walks it off 6-5 in the bottom half of the 9th on a safety squeeze bunt by Rodriguez. Great comeback by Mississippi and again Smith brings their offense to life. He also could've had a bunt hit earlier in the game, decent bunt and bang bang play at first. He was called out but in Toronto he'd been safe (even after replay). :)

That said, Peraza and Albies had six hits today (three each), though the ump stole Peraza's first one calling it a catch (it wasn't even that close to being caught, some umps must be blind).

[jimsnores]

Folty's start is very encouraging. When's the last time he had a start like that? Several more, and he'll be in the ATL. Hope he can put it togeher.

[Braves1976]

It seems Salazar could be good if he learns to throw more strikes. So far for Rome he has pitched 4.1 innings with 0 hits allowed and 5 K's, that's good. The bad is the walks, he has walked 4 in the same time including two walks tonight that both scored in Rome's 6-5 loss (Rome led 5-4 in the 8th). He walked 56 in 64.1 innings last year so he's still having the same issues so far.

[50PoundHead]

Pretty decent night all around. Rome let one get away, but 3 hits for Albies and 2 for Davidson. Bats were cooking in Carolina and big comeback in Mississippi. Add Foltynewicz' nice start and the good outweighs the bad tonight.

[Braves1976]

BTW, what's going on with Brave lefty Chris Diaz? I haven't heard anything about him in some time now.

[Hawk]

Was watching a replay of the Gwinnett game and Folty looked phenomenal - still throwing 96+ in the late innings with decent location. If he can nail down a consistent arm slot the Braves have an ace on their hands.
