5/12/15 Braves @ Reds

Me thinks Mike is probably done. Maybe he will do work and get back, but it's hard to say.

[dak]

Minor is probably set to make $6.5m - $7m in arbitration next year so I'd be surprised if he's tendered a contract. At least we have closure, I guess.

This news reminds me of the report about Mike's shoulder issues coming not long after in ST before last when he was allowed to throw a ton of pitches coming back in his rehab. That they weren't anyone paying attention or counting them. The only one that had an issue with it was that devil Frank Wren who was furious. He's since been fired of course.

It's these results and previous stories like this that make me think there is something we are doing wrong with pitchers that so many keep breaking down at such a high rate for us (and I am not sure it's just Fredi's brutal bullpen management of relievers).

Seeing eye hit by Freeman.

@mlbbowman
A source has confirmed Mike Minor will undergo shoulder surgery this week. @BillShanks was the first to report this development. #Braves

What a wasted asset. Guy was so damn good.

[thethe]

Never should have given up on Kelly. Love having him back.

[USMA76]

Folty struggling to find the smallish strike zone.

Curse of Mazzone

Might as well do TJ at the same time so he doesn't lose another year down the line.

Hardest hit ball I've seen from Jace. Thought that was a line drive out of here.

[Braves1976]

Peterson with a double, but no Joe that isn't his first extra base hit. He has one triple too.

[UNCBlue012]

Peterson with his first career double! Hitting .297!

[thewupk]

peterson power!

Yea, if he'd got it a little higher it probably goes out. But at least hard enough hit for a double off the wall.

[Braves1976]

Not a good AB by EY Jr.

par the course for him

Peterson is really good. I'd like to see him in the leadoff spot eventually.

[thethe]

Mukaki power!

[thewupk]

nick power!

[Braves1976]

That might be the hardest ball Markakis has hit this year. He couldn't let Jace get an extra base hit without showing he has it in him too.
