Are they not making up the Marlin's game today? I thought I heard that, but don't see anything.

 

[Hudson2]

The Marlins play the Mets tonight. They probably won't make it up unless it's completely necessary.

 

[TheBravos]

Ah ok, I thought the Marlins were off also. I am not sure why they wouldn't make it up...it could literally cost the Braves 3-5 draft positions.

 

[Hudson2]

I'm sure if the Braves knew it would cost em that they would appeal it.

 

[rico43]

MLB would not make it up for that reason. Playoff connotations only and the Marlins can't get there.

If the Braves nudge a team by half-a-game for a better draft position, you can bet there will be squawking.

Under the circumstances, I doubt it. Maybe a few dick fans. But an organization won't complain about this game being cancelled over draft position.

I'd be surprised if they didn't complain, especially seeing that the game wasn't cancelled due to "an act of God."

 

[WaitingFor2017]

No Rio again tonight. Let the kid start the last 6 games. It's like Snit is managing to keep the job for 2017.

Has it hit everyone yet that this truly the final week of Turner Field?

Has it hit everyone yet that this truly the final week of Turner Field?

I've read a few "what could have been" articles about the Ted the last few days.

Turner Field was built like the very best version of a ball park that would have been built in the 70's or 80's. Really big, but with very little personality - aside from that name. I'm going to miss the name "Turner". It's the type of name that if the Braves played in the same stadium for a century, the name would still have meant something no different from "Wrigley" or "Fenway".

How the **** is Brian Jordan the All Team Turner Field Team right fielder?

He gets extra points for his awesome announcing abilities.

It's funny. They pretty much went down the fWAR list From 97 on for each position minus Heyward and Mac.

Give me Gary Sheffield's two years here other than BJ.

 

[chop2chip]

Good start to the game for the tanking crowd.

Very fitting for Howard to hit a grand slam here in one of his last games at the Ted.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Really Julio? Way to show some balls. Howard is horrible now too.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I cannot wait until Ryan Howard retires

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Julio doing his part to try to lock us into the #2 pick.
