Allard pitching today?

He last pitched on 8/21 and went 3 innings, after pitching 2 innings on 8/15. He started those last 2 games, but isn't starting today.

I won't begin to speculate about why he hasn't pitched in over a week, but I'm guessing it isn't a good thing.

It's at least possible they're trying to keep his innings down coming off his back injury and don't think he has much to prove in the GCL.
 
The bats came out again today for the GCL Braves in their 8-1 win over the GCL Astros.

* Johnathan Morales continues to stroke, going 3/4 with a double and an RBI.

* Kelvin Estevez has been on a tear since coming down from Danville and he stayed hot going 2/3 with a walk and 2 RBI. Estevez has 9 RBI in 12 games since joining the GCL Braves. Estevez was the Braves' second most notable signing during the 2012 international signing period behind the late Yeralf Torres.

*Bradley Keller was 2/4 with a double and one RBI.

*Angel Perez was 2/5.

*Collin Yelich was 1/4 with his first professional HR. Drove in 2 and walked once.

*Re-habbing Michael Kohn pitched the first inning and was followed by Gabino Avalos (3.2 IP), Jesus Heredia (2.1 IP), and Alan Rangel (2 IP). The Astros' run came off of Heredia. Braves' pitchers K'd 10 and walked 6.
 
Ruiz and Riley are making what was once a weak point (3b) a strong spot. I'm really glad to see Ruiz turn it on and to see why we got excited about him when the trade went down.
