Think it's safe to say the Braves lied by omission about injuries suffered in the Carolina bus wreck. Schrader was the only player to come back after a week; none of the injured pitchers have been heard from as the Mudcats' losing streak is now 12 games since the wreck -- tying the franchise record. One FA pitcher has been signed; that's it. The Mudcats were a first-place team and need to have Dustin Peterson back ASAP. Wish straight, honest injury appraisals would be forthcoming, but it ain't happening!
