The Atlanta Braves

[Wickman]

Margaronas on Aaron Rodgers

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

I’ll live with an .801 OPS since the break

Was just a matter of time before he bounced back. Lord, he was putrid the first half. *If* Ender, Ozzie, and Swanson can all start hitting at the same time, WATCH OUT.

I’m assuming this means you want to drink a margorona on Rodgers’ lap.

Braves acquires Rene Rivera from the Angels as a third catcher

I really don’t want to waste a valuable roster spot in September on Flaherty. Would rather free Riley or Demeritte.

Agree

 

[zjcvols]

Hell Rivera will most likely be out on the 40 so there goes another spot. It is gonna be a tough spot.

A 3rd catcher was coming either way

Also true. I have no clue how we are gonna set this up. With Rivera they are at 39 I think. And they can activate McCarthy for 40.

Honestly if we can stay hot we can get the lead to 7 after this weekend. Philly has to play Chicago and we get Pittsburgh at home

so you’re saying they aren’t the “sCrUBbieS”

I need Touki to pitch Friday night. Cap off another great Friday afternoon at the book

If they sweep the Phillies I’ll tip my cap and call the Cubbies my daddy

Just based off a couple things I’m thinking Touki will start Sunday

He just pitched right? I can’t bet on acebal

 

[zjcvols]

Yeah he pitched last night. Assuming Atlanta continues the five days off strategy it will go

Tonight- Newk
Thursday- Folty
Friday- Anibal
Saturday- Gausman
Sunday- Touki (or Julio regular rest)

This should be Rated R

 

[zjcvols]

Got Lucas Duda for cash? Hell yeah!

 

[zjcvols]

Duda
Culberson
Duvall
Flowers
Reed (pinch runner)

I like that bench

 

[TBrown]

Lucas Duda kinda sucks in the same way that Adam Duvall kinda sucks but all I ask for outta PH is to be able to pop one so I’ll allow it

Better than greg norton

.814 OPS against righties this season. Freddie insurance in case of emergency. Much much better option than what we have.

 

[Wickman]

We could’ve had Murphy though

 

[TBrown]

Take Duda money and Rivera money and give it to Murphy. Don’t spin these bums on me.

Wouldnt be close to enough. Cubs are paying close to $4 million to rent Murphy.

Duda is due about 600k plus whatever cash went to the Royals.

They must have decided he wasn’t gonna get any regular AB’s and it wasn’t worth the potential chemistry issue. Only thing that makes sense. But I’m happy with Duda as a bench bat
