Another big fly for Isranel. I'm wondering if this is will be his walk-up music as he advances through the system.

Bethancourt with another double. He's making it hard to keep him at AAA.

FF with a k and a throwing error
 
I know that Olivera did well in his short milb stint earlier this year. still, if he hasn't been seeing live pitching since the 2013-14 Cuban season, it really may take him a while to get up to speed.

I say this as someone who is far more aligned with the skeptic's camp: everyone, give the guy some time to get his feet under him before judging who he is and what he might be against major-league competition.

Yeah, I don't think we can really take much away from this season for Olivera as far as what kind of hitter he'll be. If he comes up and struggles then, as you said, he's got a ton of rust and is adjusting to the majors. If he comes up and tears the cover off the ball you can't take much away because the league wont have time to really adjust.

The one thing I have taken away from this season is that health is likely to be a constant struggle with Olivera. The guy has barely played at all because of this hamstring injury and that is on top of the health question marks he had. I don't expect him to average more than 120 games a season for the Braves.
