Great pitching lineup today

[Garmel]

Lucas Sims just gave up a 3-run homer in the 1st. Ouch!

[striker42]

3 BBs so far for Sims too. He still has some growing to do.

[UNCBlue012]

And now Garcia homered AGAIN.

[Garmel]

4 home runs with only 30 at bats at AAA for Adonis.

[msstate7]

4 home runs with only 30 at bats at AAA for Adonis.

He's gotta come back up. No reason to be playing frenchy so much when Garcia could be here

It's insane to leave he down there. He will be back up with a chip on his shoulder, and there aren't many Braves with that (or any) attitude.

[bravesfanMatt]

Man. Checked on the farm. Rome in a 17 inning battle. Anyone know about acuna?

Ellis has been so good this year. Just wish he could throw more strikes.

Povse another good start. Looks like the defense hurt him with 3 errors while he was pitching.

Tuff start for sims. I think he needs to just keep building off small success.

[blueagleace1]

Rico, what's your opinion on Luke Dykstra? Looks like an above average hitter (no power) that doesn't strike out as shown by his career numbers of 482 AB's and only 36 K's. What kind of outlook?

[Preacher]

Tough start for Sims really good start for Sanchez.

Ellis doesn't let many cross the plate, but he needs to get those walks down otherwise he's never going to make it.

Albies with a couple BBs today.

[50PoundHead]

8-spot for Rome (all runs unearned) in the top of the 19th.

[Braves1976]

8-spot for Rome (all runs unearned) in the top of the 19th.

That's a long game too. Did you see who's trying to finish it for Rome? Yeudi Grullon who normally plays third base. :)

[50PoundHead]

Yeudi Grullon holds the 8-run lead and Rome wins.

The Rome guys said that he has a wrist issue. He was sliding head first and hurt it. I don't know anything else..

Saw a Twitter pic of him in a cast. Just no word on how bad.

[nsacpi]

At least there was no amputation.

[striker42]

Good to see Sanchez have a good start. He's one of the more under the radar prospects who has the talent to explode at some point.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Not a single mention of Chris Ellis getting 3 hits at the plate?!

Can he play ss
