#Braves have promoted RHP Tyrell Jenkins to Triple-A Gwinnett. Jenkins posted a 3.00 ERA in 16 starts at Double-A Mississippi.


Talent is coming fast boys and girls.

I've been thinking about why we should switch Maybin and Nick in the lineup. We need Maybin up there with more men on base.

Eury looked out to me.

I'm really bummed out that we are so dependent on home runs these last few games. It's a distressing sign for the future of this team that our most productive hitters are also the ones with the most power.

Oh geez...all these tongue in cheek comments from the negabraves!

We went away from a certain type of hitter. If the type of hitter we are targetting now happens to have power even better. The change in philosophy is clearly working and I think it irks alot of the posters on this board (not specifically talking about you Julio).

I like him just fine in the 2 spot. That is where he will be batting when Freeman comes back.

[WaitingFor2017]

It's probably a good thing Julio misses the series in Colorado even though he has been great the last two innings.

Yeah, but I like him with ducks on the pond. He can drive in runs where Nick has a hard time.

Wasn't your tongue all up in your own cheek just a page ago in this thread?

[yeezus]

Maybin isn't really a HR hitter and has been productive.
I don't think anyone is opposed to home runs, per se.

[jpx7]

Really don't think that was "worth a look", Joe—but Fredi's challenge-deployment is difficult to defend, I'm sure.

I think there is more malice when it comes from the negabraves. But, thats probably just a part of my over sensitivity to all things Braves.

He isn'ta home run hitter. He is a good hitter that hits line drives. Some of them go out of the park.

[ATLBraves247]

I like this team a lot. Cameron Maybin is probably overachieving, but I wouldn't trade him unless I got an offer I couldn't refuse. We understand our weak areas for the future are 3B, OF, C, and relief pitching. So unless I got offered something that would benefit our future I wouldn't deal anyone.

[ATLBraves247]

Teheran has such horrible body language, I'm telling yall he isn't a big game pitcher. He had a no hitter and was acting like he was down 10 to 0. That's mental weakness guys

[USMA76]

Khris Davis HR is scheduled to land in about three minutes.

[thethe]

Oh Teheran. Where have you gone?

[WaitingFor2017]

Need a nice 1-2-3 inning against the 8-9-1 Turds of Milwaukee.

[Russ2dollas]

brewers have 4 good OF. Can we get one without giving up someone on our current MLB roster...unless they want CJ :)

When Freeman gets back where would that OF play?
