Jon Mayo is reporting that Braves are calling up our #2 overall prospect (#19 MLB) Ozzie Albies today.

Better loving not be to just sit him there watching Camargo and Phillips play.

Edit: Albies will be the first major leaguer born in 1997. The millennium approaches.

He's starting at 2B tonight, Camargo will be SS. Freddie is at 1B and Matt Adams is in.....Left :lol:

Oh also Lucas Sims is making his MLB debut tonight against the Dodgers, which seems like a good idea.

Oh good that makes three rookies starting for the Braves today.

Apparently Freddie is back at first full time now, and Phillips is on the bench when not spelling third. Would guess Phillips and Adams both get waiver-traded ASAP, not sure why they couldn't move them yesterday if this was the plan.

I like Phillips but he won't be in baseball longer anyway. I wish we could find something for Adams to do, I like him too much.

But yeah if we were going to lose both/either of them, I wish they would have done something yesterday.

How bad was Freddie's 3B defense?

It wasn't great but it also wasn't terrible and he was getting better. He's just clearly a MUCH better 1B than 3B

The Braves are gonna be the reason the Dodgers win 114 games instead of 117. Baseball makes no loving sense

Bartolo pitched a complete game for the Twins tonight but couldn't get past 4 innings for the Braves. Cool.

Apparently Tyler Flowers had some catchers gear specially made for this event but won't give any details on what it is.

The players are able to wear special gloves, cleats, sweatbands etc during these games so it'll be interesting to see what these guys come up with.

Everybody read this, it's great. I'm phone posting or I'd quote some of this but I didn't want to forget to share it later. It's about the longest play in baseball history, a trick play, and how it happened.

Well this is some bullshit. Cubs decided to make next friday's game vs. the Brewers a night game. I know a TON of people in town for that game and it's not going to go over well.

It's because it's a super important series now since the Brewers and Cubs are neck and neck. They want it on when people can watch it on TV. It could very well decide the division based on how things break this week.

Yes but my friends won't like it


e: And by friends I mean the group of like 1000+ people that all bought tickets because they're here for the UGA/ND game on Saturday. They even got Vince Dooley (old UGA coach) to throw out the first pitch.
