Marksberry (OK) and Ramirez (jeez) promoted from Gwinnett. Guess this means Simmons isn't ready. And I thought Janas deserved it ahead of Ramirez.

Remember when wisler was gonna be a good pitcher for us going forward? That was a great thought... A dumb one, but great

[Ozzie Swanson]

Wisler has completely lost it. He may need some time in AAA.

[UNCBlue012]

Whether it's good or bad hitters, he doesn't care. Wisler just doesn't care lol

[USMA76]

Nothing like being down 4-0 before the National Anthem is over.

[Garmel]

Every ball Wisler throws is in the middle of the plate. Ridiculous.

[msstate7]

Pull wisler and get him to Gwinnett asap

[Ozzie Swanson]

Jace looked like a high schooler trying to field that ball

The ball was scalded but a major league second baseman has to field it.

[Garmel]

It might be time to look at a change of pitching coaches at the major league and AAA levels. I'm not happy with the development of our young pitchers.

I don't particularly dislike anyone on our staff, but I hope we have a completely new one to open new park

[bravesfanMatt]

I dislike our hitting/pitching/head coach. I am for a complete change. I would like to see AAA get snit back and a new hitting coach and pitching coach.

[buck75]

Jace has had some lazy at-bats tonight. A little sleepy I guess.

[UNCBlue012]

So Freddie is 6-6 with 6 RBIs and 2 walks in his last two games? Dude is extra streaky this year.

This. Let the new manager start with whoever he wants on his staff. It's irritating if a new manager has to keep someone on staff that he doesn't feel comfortable with. TP and Eddie can easily land new jobs elsewhere as can McDowell.

[jsebe10]

Losing patience with Ender

[50PoundHead]

I totally agree. I get the Braves' Way and all of that, but I'm all for a new field staff.

The problem is the chain of command imo. Generally the manager has some say in who his bench coaches are. Just as the GM is generally responsible for who the manager is. I feel like most of that sort of thing is directed by the 2 Johns and Bobby.

[Ozzie Swanson]

They're definitely showcasing Cervenka for some team.

[Braves1976]

They're definitely showcasing Cervenka for some team.

Houston among others have asked about him. But I wouldn't deal him and Alvarez both. I'd move Krol in a heartbeat however. I know Minter is on the way but Cervenka is a very good lefty. Better than his numbers show given the outings others have given up runs against him and bad defense behind him leading to big innings a few times too. I'd need a great return to move him personally.
