Freeman HBP in wrist (again) Immediately leaves game

[UNCBlue012]

Call up Acuna, throw Albies in the three-hole, Swanson in the two and let the youth movement begin.

What actually will happen: Inciarte, Albies, Markakis.

[Carp]

Give Bautista a 1b glove immediately.

Give Bautista a 1b glove immediately.

I expect him to get a couple days worth of at-bats and be up.

Am I having a flashback to a drunken blackout here, or did Neck play a few innings of 1B in the spring?

If Markakis or even Tucker could handle 1B at all defensively, Acuña has to be the call up.

And AA needs to go ahead and DFA Culberson immediately so that Snit doesn't have the temptation to start him in Freeman's place.

Any news on when he will be re-evaluated? Either way I doubt it's good news.

we have been given reason to believe it is not bad

[Ozzie Swanson]

Guessing the x-rays came back negative but they want to wait on the swelling to go down so they can check him again. I'd assume he's headed for the 10-day DL.

It'd only make sense to move Neck to first and plug Acuna in right!

I'm expecting to see some gritty play from Culberson at 1B. You guys may not have heard, but he is just a baseball player. A gritty baseball player. I also predict that stats do not tell the whole story on him, and that it's hard to place a value on his versatility.

When did LaRussa and Stewart take over?

Appears that Flaherty has the most experience at 1B according to DOB.

#Braves’ Ryan Flaherty has 28 major league games played (12 starts) at first base, Charlie Culberson has 3 starts at first base (all in 2014) and Nick Markakis has 5 starts at first base (1 in past 4 years)

Oops. I must have missed the mark, I was going for Chip and Joe.

grit, clutchness, veteran leadership and maturity...Culberson has it all...reminds me a lot of Laird

The just-signed José Bautista also has 28 games (16 starts) at first base, played a few innings there over last couple seasons but last start at 1B was in 2014, when he made 11 starts at the position.

Snitkers better get Arodys in there next time and smoke someone at 99mph.
