    Surely if an assignment starts for Swanson this week, he'd get more than 20

    I’m more worried about players like Donaldson who are old and have an injury history. Freddie too because he’s had like 1 day off in the past two years and is about to be 30.

    Now its a race against the calendar to get them enough ABs to be sharp for the playoffs. Looks like it should be no problem with Swanson but we are going to be cutting it close with Muk and Ender.

    CAL RIPKEN DIDN'T NEED NO DAYS OFF
    "Acuna is getting lucky, just like CJ did when he batted .321 and won a batting title. He is unlikely to get lucky at the MLB level over an extended period of time. He will settle in around .300-.320 just like everyone else, and when he does, he won't be within shouting distance of the 1.000 OPS he is posting in AAA...more like low .700s in 2018." -Enscheff 8/25/17

    Freddie smokes the Fish tonight with Ash.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Perhaps, but it took him a long time already to recover from a bruised heel.

    Marlins pitcher has pronounced splits, should be a good opportunity since we loaded up.

    And don't forget scheduled days off. The Braves have had 3 days off since AS break. Of the 126 played this year, Freddie has started 124 and appeared as PH in one of the ones he didn't start. Yes, that's a lot of games started and played, but not as bad as some are making it out to be.

    At the risk of ruining the party, don't we have a miserable record in games after a day off this year?

    Why did Porter(Plate Ump) meet Keuchel half way between the plate and mound after inning was over??

    Pitchers who give up a lot of contact look great when that contact is caught by fielders...not so great when it doesn't.
