Really didn’t understand what the Braves medical staff was doing last night. Minter fell on the mound and nobody came and checked on him and Acuña got running the bases in a blowout and stayed in the game smh

Jackson up for Stephens (7 day IL - concussion), and Arcia at Gwinnett for rehab.

When Arcia is healthy, who goes down/DFA?

Any word on albies?

I mean it’s gotta be Adrianza right?

Rosters expand next month. I think only by 2 spots though. Will be interesting for sure.

Maybe. Ozuna, I suppose is an option.

 

[msstate7]

Arcia doubled in first AB

I believe Albies can’t be activated until Mid-September. With Arcia starting rehab it looks like he’ll beat him back. When either is activated Adrianza is the first to go. When the other is activated I assume Tromp is optioned as I expect him to be activated September 1st.

It’s tough but the Braves can manage their roster crunch without dumping Ozuna from the roster before the playoffs.

I hope they do hold on to him. I think it's a decent chance he rebounds next season for the DH spot

Phillies are a real dark horse. Strong 1-2 SP, solid backend of the bullpen, and a very good lineup with Harper back. That’s a tough team to face in a 3 game wild card round.

 

[msstate7]

Soroka with a nice 1st: soft GB single to 3b, DP, k

You assuming wheeler returns?

Yea. If he’s out it changes the calculus. But indications are he was having dead arm and they are giving him a break. He should be back next week.

 

[msstate7]

Maybe we should just hope soroka is ready for ST

 

[msstate7]

I don't know the stats, but if feels like the braves are the worst team of all time getting a runner in from 3rd with 1 out

 

[msstate7]

Olson, never attempt to move a runner from 2nd to 3rd with 0 outs bc that crap doesn't work for the braves... just swing for the fences

Yep, if they stay the 5 seed and we cant chase down New York, thats the team i wouldnt wanna face.

Their defense still sucks. They lost brogdon for the year

 

[msstate7]

Soroka with 3 grounders in 3rd. Some of the hits in 2nd were grounders, so with Gwinnett defenders, maybe it wasn't as bad as the line looks. 2 walks are concerning though
