    Yep. If so, the braves will be 9-6 through our first 5 division series without playing the marlins. Good sign

    I see a 5 inning game if that dry slot in Alabama doesn't fill in all the way (and it's starting to fill in).
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    I definitely see the weather pitching a fit today.

    Interesting tidbit on radio broadcast last night... Jim Powell asked the braves' analytic guys about how accurate the superimposed strike zone box is on tv. The answer was that east-west, pretty accurate... north/south, not so much

    The optimism surrounding this team is insane, and so much fun. It’s hard to not feel like we’re onto something great moving forward.

    Also, we’re doing this with an insanely hard schedule.

    Tucker's 4 for his last 22. He did some good early but it's Acuna time.

    It is definitely Acuna time- I was thinking that the last two nights- we need one more serious threat in the lineup. Acuna in the six hole to start, and if he mashes, could move him to fourth as soon as possible....

    How is the weather over in the ATL. Hour till game time. Get quick three runs and blaze this to the fifth inning and call it a day.

    There may be a 3ish hour window of little to know precip where they can play.

    The top and bottom of the zone are set manually for every batter, so it’s not surprising it’s fairly inaccurate.

    Would be nice to get this one in today, so we can potentially avoid having Thor or DeGrom start in the makeup game, even though I like Wheeler a good deal.

    Yeah, I'm sure they'd like to. AA has said as much. But Acuña is 5 for his last 22.

    They should just call Acuna up for the Reds series. It’s basically the same thing as AAA pitching.
