Was listening to the braves radio broadcast and they were talking about Swanson still being hurt. Apparently in one of his at bats today he started shaking the wrist that has gave him problems. Defensively we would take a hit but im all for putting Culberson at 3rd and Camargo at SS. At the plate Culberson is on fire

He did that the other day too, Chip or Joe pointed it out.

If that’s true, then put him on the DL and then when he is 100% give him starts in Gwinnett. His defense has been great but he’s been terrible since he ASG and that could be why.

It’s poor planning. You gotta think “okay I’m up 8-3 going into the 9th. I might need Brach for tomorrow. Let me get the rook an inning, let him get rid of the jitters and if he gives up a run or two we will be fine.” Why use your second best reliever in an 8-3 game in the 9th when you got a game 18 hours later? It’s dumb.

....because you're facing the top of the order in the 9th inning in Washington and you've got your foot on their neck. No way he puts a kid out there to debut in that spot.

I’d rather have my better reliever pitch down 4-2 in the bottom of the 8th than up 8-3 in the bottom of the 9th. Again, it was poor bullpen use.

Fine...You play pie in the sky. I'll make sure I win today.

Plus, it was the back end of a doubleheader and Brach was about the 6th or 7th reliever used that day. It's not like they had a lot of options and after getting 2 starters knocked out in the 2nd inning along with a 3rd game in 2 days, the bullpen was going to be a mess today no matter what.

I get he’s in a super tough spot especially with Sanchez going out early and Fried on Tuesday.

I guess my point is that it’s 4-2 against a divisional rival. Don’t get to the point where it’s Adam McCreery or bust. Or bring in Biddle or Minter there.

Now insinuating Sanchez will need a DL stint and both Touki/Allard will start Monday
