Robinson Cano of all people have the Braves only hit tonight

How is Austin Riley not an all star???

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Brian Jordan said Riley didn't miss that home run ..... duh.

He's getting to sound too much like Chip w/those obvious sayings.

 

[VolPack22]

I don’t have the stats handy but I’d be willing to bet the Braves are one of the best 2 out hitting teams in the majors.

He is.
It’s just that MLB has a jacked up voting process.
No way the fan vote should factor in as much as it does.

I think it was probably a comment made sarcastically because Riley barely missed one in his first at bat.

Don't forget Swanson just missed a Homer right b4 Riley hit his.

Our bullpen really pisses me off sometimes. O’Day and Smith need to be traded for some guys that are actually going to pitch worth a dang.

Just came back from the kitchen w/some Ritz cheese crackers & a Coke Zero.

Tomorrow will be Mad Max Monday. Max Fried vs Max Scherzer. About as great a pitching matchup anyone could ask for and should be “must watch tv” if you are a fan of great pitching. These types of matchups don’t come along very often so I try to enjoy it whenever it happens.

7:20pm ET
FS1

Only one pitcher showed up.

 

[VolPack22]

Looks like Scherzer is the same old Scherzer after the rehab assignment. They don’t even have him on a pitch count. Luckily we have the phenom Strider going tomorrow to try to even up the series. It will probably come down to how well Charlie Morton pitches in the rubber match.

Yep Fried waked 5 batters the entire month of June but walked 5 tonight. Very uncharacteristic of him.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

IF Acuna homers here .... Pandemonium reigns.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

The Braves got Cano for $1 and the Mets still owe him $45 million!

Ex-Met Cano to make Braves debut vs. old team

That was a horrible called strike.

He didn’t have his command tonight. He’ll be ok.

The Mets do not know how to do contracts

 

[VolPack22]

Dansby, I love you but you cannot swing at the first pitch in that situation. Horrible at bat.

The Mets are paying our guy $45M to get 2 hits against them. You just can’t make that up

Thanks for this .... I was fixing to ask about if this was the same Cano from the Mets.
Did they release him & we got lucky to pick him up?
Never mind .... I saw my answer in the article posted.

Yeah that Was a crappy way to end the inning

Technically it’s $44,999,999.00 cause Atlanta is paying him the other $1...
