Mod - please include the date in my Game Thread. Thanks!

**** yeah. Been dying to see Weigels stuff. Hopefully he gets a shot for an inning or two.

[UNCBlue012]

#Braves are starting Huascar Ynoa in Game 2 of today's doubleheader. Josh Tomlin pushed to Sunday. Ian Anderson will have his next start on Monday, giving him an extra day of rest.

No Camargo....nice!

Adding Weigel is super interesting.

Braves must like what they are seeing.

Reports say Ozzie will be out at least another week. Since they’ve been saying this basically since he went on the IL at this point I’m assuming he’s done for the year until I see him back on the field.

Hey remember when snit let him play sore even to the point where he didn’t switch hit. That seemed pretty smart now.

He just took live BP with the team in Atlanta.

Worries me by bringing up memories of Jordan Schafer. You remember he came up with all the hype and hurt his wrist in that first game or series against the Phillies. Was never the same afterwords.

If Albies has no setbacks in live batting practice today (and I'd imagine again this weekend), wouldn't surprise me if he returns to lineup beginning of next week. But they've not announced a targeted date yet.

Excited for Weigel. Hope he gets to pitch. He's been up before but no pitching.

Love Carmago out for at least one of the games.

Ynoa starting....still don't get it. Love to see Weigel get one time through and let Ynoa follow him. Didn't Ynoa pitch two days ago?

[salmagundy]

What does the lineup look like when Ozzie returns?? Will Snit move him into the 2 hole immediately?? Will Camargo move to 3rd and Riley moves to LF and platoons with Duvall and Neck??

I doubt that Snit is smart enough to make good decisions on forming the lineup to take advantage of match ups and defense.

Ozzie needs to hit 2nd vs Lhp and 5th or 6th vs Rhp imo

Took me a second to realize DH was meaning double header here. My stupid brain was thinking we called up Weigel to be the DH.

It's a double meaning.

I'm glad that Daddy is back in the lineup for us

Soto scratched from the Nats lineup with elbow soreness. Wow
