Ramirez clears waivers, accepts assignment to Gwinnett. For the moment, he takes Folty's place, who is on a brief personal leave. Bowman tweets he should make his next start.

Looking forward to seeing Fried get back on the mound!

Thank goodness we have a strong minor league system to track, cause our major league club is a joke and the laughing stock of baseball. We absolutely suck.

Hey, we're not the laughingstock just yet. The Twins are fighting us for the title!

[Hudson2]

The Twins at least have the talent on the MLB roster to turn things around lol

[msstate7]

Toscano starting for miss and hitting 2nd

[CJ9]

I watched the first four innings for Blair and couldn't have been more impressed. Tons of ground balls and weak contact.

Blair should be a good one, everyone we got in the Miller deal should work out good or better IMO.

[msstate7]

Newcomb with back-to-back 1-out walks in 2nd

[CJ9]

Aaron Blair: 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K.

Max Fried: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 7 K.

Moralse as well.. plus a runner caught stealing..

[dak]

Ruiz with a 3-run HR in the 8th for GWI. Would love to see more of that.

[bravesfanMatt]

BOOM!!! Rio with a 3 run bomb in the 8th to push the lead to 5 - 0...

[UNCBlue012]

Ruiz is zoned in!

[Julio3000]

Rio becoming an MLB 3B with a little pop could be a game-changer for us.

[weso1]

I'm suddenly unfazed by xhamster and youporn choosing to blackout North Carolina.

Really great to see Ruiz off to a good start. He was so bad last year that even a 1 week hot streak is big news. Glad he is doing it at AAA, anything he would do at AA would be jaded because he would have been repeating the level. He's a guy I root extra hard for because I liked him way back in the draft and I like being right :)
