I'm looking forward to Kimbrel closing this one out tonight

Face Uribe in the 8th?

Triple-A #Braves activated newly acquired LH Dana Eveland, and Kelly Johnson begins rehab assignment at Gwinnett tonight.

@DOBrienAJC 3m3 minutes ago

#Braves released LH Donnie Veal, who was DFA'd last week

Comments: I am looking forward to getting KJ back with us and I kinda feel bad for Veal. I mean it must be rough to get excited twice about making it back to the Majors and also get DFA'd twice in short order and now released.

"activate" to the big club or to AAA? Dumping Veal and sending KJ to Gwinnett doesn't open up a spot on the big club's 25 man roster.

"Kinda" feel bad for Veal? Why? he was awful and just being bad would keep you employed with this team.

Face Uribe in the 8th?

Markakis.. Get that out of here. You're giving a ball you should of hammer 400 feet out of here.

Looked up "warning track power" and saw a photo of Markakis.

Nick almost hit one out.

Boomkaki-tease?

Wow Shelby.

Great at-bat, but he did not mix it up well there. Right over the middle.

 

[USMA76]

Eight foul balls and then rips a double...ouch.

Please keep Maybin.

 

[Braves1976]

Peterson-Maybin combo produce again. Good job boys. 1-1

 

[thewupk]

It's pretty funny that one of the few Braves hitter of the past decade it seems that actually comes here via trade or FA and and doesn't suck is considered a salary dump.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I LOVE MAYBIN

 

[thethe]

Please keep Maybin.
