[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

We are due Big time against Chen.

[USMA76]

Hope this isn't a giant flashback of a game played at noon last Tuesday in Miami. That was one horrifically ugly performance. I'd think another outing like that by Julio may cause the Braves to take a serious look at his future employability.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

My pick to click tonight is Ozzie after missing last Tuesdays same matchup.

[Braves1976]

Culberson hits Chen well and not starting while Swanson has never hit him. Plus Suzuki is hitting .300 against him and Flowers .182 or something. Hopefully it won't matter since Chen has been so bad on the road. But I'd started at least one of Culberson/Suzuki vs Chen rather than those who do not hit him.

I think with a struggling pitcher (Julio), the better framer and SS are more important

[msstate7]

Brach available? Any word on his role?

[The Chosen One]

Snitkers going to see if he can retroactively use Freeman tonight before the DL stint is official.

[Julio3000]

“Magneuris Sierra” is a pretty great baseball name.

You realize you're talking about sample sizes of about 10 PAs, right?

Do you think the results of 10 PAs is at all predictive?

Bowman said there is a chance that Touki gets called up to Atl this week to pitch in the pen

Flowers caught the Marlins blowout win against Teheran, framing made no difference. Plus Suzuki is clearly the better game caller this year. Further, Julio has been doing his give up a touchdown and come back with a shutout a lot this season. Now he had some good streaks mixed in to be fair, otherwise his numbers would be much worse. Lastly, despite that two error game Culberson is very good at short when he gets to play there regularly. But not using him there all year till recently can effect things (might take longer to get back into a grove after playing LF/3B so much).

[bravesfanMatt]

Didn’t realize touki was throwing tonight. Not sure I am going to pay much attention to this game tonight.

If someone is hitless vs someone while also struggling with the bat vs someone who is hot and hits well vs a starter, that is worth considering.

Starting his clock to come out of the bullpen would be insane.

[USMA76]

Nice start, Jules.

[ixiXSolidXixi]

Lol

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Flowers

[Braves1976]

Flowers catching Teheran working as well as last time.

[jpack1]

Wow. Julio sucks
