It appears you have a shot at landing Gilbert or Beck.

I would cry.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I will be 51 years old in 2042

I'll be 6 feet under & wondering what life is like.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I would cry.

I would be happy to see either one go to an organization like Boston.

Skenes seems to be taking grounders here. I wonder if he is looking to play the field instead of catch? If so, I hope we’re still recruiting him. Slap him at 1B and keep Burke as DH.

We can dig you up whenever it happens so you can experience the last Bobby Bonilla Day with us.

Pitchers take grounders, too.

Just make sure your family knows because I don’t need a felony for digging up a grave on my record.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

As of now, the Bravos have 6 NL all stars and that’s position players.
Who the heck is this British chap on Bally sports, Braves pregame?!

Bring it, bro.

Here's another Ravens player (LB) dead at 26 ...

Ravens linebacker Jaylon Ferguson dead at 26. So young ... 1995-2022.

Examiner: Ravens LB died from fentanyl, cocaine

I see the pitchers for tonight is Fried & Minor. Wondering if that's the same Minor the Braves had a couple of years ago?

It is the same one. Mike Minor.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

.... and have an inserted feeding tube with 24/7 care. No thanks.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Are you talking about Peter Moylan?

I had no idea that’s who that was or that he wasn’t American.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I don't know. Braves website just has "Minor" listed. I guess we'll find out when the game starts.

 

[VolPack22]

I had no idea that’s who that was or that he wasn’t American.

I’m not watching right now but if it’s Peter Moylan, he is from The Land Down Under mate!

He was a great sidewinder in the bullpen for a few years.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

They say Acuna is back .... he's batting first tonight.
