GDT: 9/2 Pirates @ Braves

Lester pitching today for Chicago. Crap, he's been bad after a great first half (with very frightening analytics, for what it's worth).

Nick Kingham is a finesse pitcher, so everyone except for Acuna is probably going to be lost against him for at least 1 time through.
 
Didn't realize when I made the thread that the game starts at 5pm...what's up with that?

Braves have done this the Sunday before Memorial Day and Labor Day for a few years now when they have a home game.

I wouldn't be too happy if I were the Pirates. It's not a long flight, but they have a 1:35 PM game tomorrow in Pittsburgh.

Ryan Flaherty is now back with the team.

I know why, but at the same time, I'm not sure why. He still struck out 9 times in 31 plate appearances in AAA.

He had a cycle this past week too. Sucks that the Marlins were demanding position players for him. Would of been the ideal guy to trade some of our pitching prospects for.
I can’t imagine. Albies-Yelich-Freeman-Acuna would have been a sick lineup for years to come
