lmao did that really happen again?

Yes. Hosmer this time.

 

[salmagundy]

Phiiiies get David Hale from Yuks apparently for Addison Russ

 

[salmagundy]

Braves recall Alex Jackson to take spot vacated by Wright.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Yes. Hosmer this time.

Yep. First time in a history a team has hit a grand slam in four consecutive games. Hosmer should buy everyone on the team Denny’s.

Braves recall Alex Jackson to take spot vacated by Wright.

Strange.

 

[PawPawMaxwell]

Strange.

Very strange! One of the catchers hurt? Or maybe Flowers getting traded? Cleveland is getting absolutely nothing from their catchers.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Probably just allows snkt to use Nard or Flow as pinch hitters more.

 

[PawPawMaxwell]

Who would they pinch hit for? Inciarte? Then who replaces Inciarte in the OF? Pache?

 

[thewupk]

Probably just allows snkt to use Nard or Flow as pinch hitters more.

Or roll with them as the DH this weekend.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

With the DH, maybe allows one to DH and the other to catch...

Then again, that'd throw off the OF defense with Ozuna going back into the field

Strasburg diagnosed with carpal tunnel in his wrist and may require surgery....must be because players are locked in their room on the road

 

[Heyward]

Acuna to swing a bat Saturday, hope he's back soon, god knows this lineup needs him.

Acuna to swing a bat Saturday, hope he's back soon, god knows this lineup needs him.

The MLBTR report says "hope"

The hope is that Acuna will resume that activity Saturday, but the Braves won’t know how much more time he’ll miss until he begins doing so.

He's really too young to be typing up his memoirs. Can't think on anything else that would lead to all these wrist injuries.

This is the MSP* we've all come to expect from you.

I appreciate that, but my play on words regarding Nationals' pitcher Erick Fedde must have gone over everyone's heads. I asked if Nationals' fans were pro or con Fedde. You know,

Brewers DFA Holt...

He'd definitely be a better fit than Culberson - of course, he's not hitting either.

They replaced Holt with Jace Peterson. I always hesitate to criticize athletes who are much better than I could ever be at their stock-in-trade, but being replaced by Jace Peterson is hardly a ringing endorsement.

Don't hate. Jace was worth 1 whole WAR in 2015

 

[Southcack77]

Holt crushed right handlers last year and can play almost anywhere on the diamond. Obviously being DFA'd isn't a ringing endorsement.
