"Atlanta Cleanup Hitter, Nick Markakis"

Francoeur, meanwhile, trying to move along. Wish Markakis would follow suit.

[Braves1976]

The fix is in, Twins throwing the series. JK. :)

[NinersSBChamps]

Ervin threw 39 pitches in five innings last night. Duffey is at 41 and he just got out of the first.

[TheBravos]

Are there any scouts at the game tonight...everyone is looking good.

[msstate7]

Duffey must be a fan that won a contest to pitch tonight. No way we're hitting a real MLB pitcher like this

Guess the Braves were saving all their July runs for tonight.

[USMA76]

Amazing play by the Twins' CF there.

[Garmel]

Folty is still having problems with the mental aspect of this game. He gets hit hard a few times and it cascades from there.

[msstate7]

Be nice if Johnson can get a couple more saves before the deadline. Maybe we could trade him for something

[msstate7]

I see no way Shea gets called up this early. He just had a set back and just finished his second rehab game... Simmons doesn't need to be called up until September if at all. I also would rush Whalen. He just got promoted to AAA. just bring up one of our other relievers in AA or AAA and wait for Gant/Perez/Viz to come off the DL.

When can we expect that trio back?

Heard Perez is farthest away. I am hoping to hear Gant will be starting a rehab start fairly soon.

Travis lands at number 9? Holy crap.

Travis lands at number 9? Holy crap.

If he can learn to hit/lay off breaking pitches and thus bring up his hit took he is a 55 fv talent. Wow.

I legitimately don't understand why the Rangers did this trade. Some people see the logic in it. I don't. UNLESS they're extremely high on Alvarez, it's a massive steal for us.

Pitching surplus. Duh.

[UNCBlue012]

Pitching surplus. Duh.

Absolutely not. Do not tell me that the Braves are actually beginning to sale off arms for bats - I was told by MULTIPLE people that we wouldn't actually successfully do it and that this rebuild is a failure because we have no bats.

Yeah I don't get it either. If you don't agree with everyone here you are clueless and/or a douche. Just an FYI.
