The Atlanta Braves

I get it. Just saying it's not a crazy thing to try in that spot.
But it is. If the decision is to bunt then as soon as Flowers reaches pull Duvall back and use Teheran/Folty/Max/Soroka/Keuchel to bunt.

What is crazy, is wasting (an out by bunting and) one of only two PH options for the entire game by asking him to do something he has never done. Bunting isn’t that easy.

Nice bounce back win, Folty being allowed to stay in the game and get out of the jam in the bottom of the 6th could end up being a defining moment of the season so way to DBALB to him also!

Agreed, Julio has been the best at sacrifice bunting on the team for years. Chip or Frenchy made it sound like Duvall volunteered to bunt which if true shows you where his confidence at the plate is right now.
 
Recovery not going as planned
August 11, 2019
Swanson's recovery from a foot contusion "hasn't really taken the turn for the better like we wanted," said manager Brian Snitker, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

ANALYSIS
His return is clearly not imminent, and it's possible he is dealing with something slightly worse than a contusion. Swanson should be considered out indefinitely, and in shallower leagues without IL spots it might be time to pivot to a different option. Charlie Culberson and Johan Camargo will continue to share time at shortstop.

:(:(:(
 
I wonder if AA would take a chance on Josh Harrison once he clears waivers? He is a versatile IF and is only owed $2M through the rest of this season.
