i thought Eovaldi was out today,they said on the postgame show last night he hurt his back.

 

[Garmel]

Let's hope BJ and Uggla can get it going.

Heard the same thing about Eovaldi. Has this lineup been posted officially?

 

[NYCBrave]

This is the lineup that was posted on my usual source and they're usually pretty accurate. However, just went on Marlins twitter, and sure enough:

Miami Marlins ‏@Marlins 34m

Nate Eovaldi is scratched from today's start due to a tight back. @BFlynn277 will get the nod today, in Eovaldi's place.

Im at the game today!!!

Fredi falling in love with Elliot.

I wish Terdoslavich were getting a few more games. He should be spelling Freeman once a week and getting a couple games a week in the outfield. He could be an important bench bat for us in the post-season, especially if Reed Johnson is out.

 

[stpeteirish]

chance for Uggla and BJ to get going vs some minor league pitching.

Freddy G vs the worst offense in baseball; looks like an even match up to me.

Garcia wears the same uniform number, #50. Not sure if that happens a lot when a guy goes on the 60-day and won't be back, but it seems odd that they'd give it away.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Alright, Uggla. You're playing. So quit bitching and step the hell up.

 

[diamondsyd]

Anyone know where I can listen online?

 

[nsacpi]

Gattis smoked that

You can use atdhe.tv to watch...

 

[stpeteirish]

yeah, we're gonna hit this guy, he's got nuthin'.

 

[Braves1976]

Yea, it almost got through but good job by their second basemen knocking it down (and starting a DP after doing so). Freeman and Gattis being slow gave him more time too.

 

[Teheran_49]

I never want to see Uggla play again the dude is trash. Please FW call La Stella up...why did Pastor have to get hurt???UGHHHHH

 

[50PoundHead]

Why doesn't Uggla just bunt.

 

[Teheran_49]

Great job BJ and Dan...and you wonder why this offense is so inconsistent? We have three outs with Uggla,Bj and the pitcher...should have scored here but no just the typical strike out with men on for BJ and Dan, what's new? This is f'ing terrible...
