[Chewbaccer]

Lead in the division is up to 5.5 games.

Phillies are free falling. Swept by the Nats and lost the first two to the Marlins.

We've got no problems pouring on runs. If we could just consistently get quality pitching game to game, this team could really take off and dominate.

Reports saying braves will option Folty to AAA

He needs it. He gets shelled every start. Scoring 13 runs is great, but it should never be needed to score 13 runs to win a game.

 

[Chewbaccer]

We really need to win today to keep a bit of distance from the Nats.

Their next four series are Marlins-Tigers-Marlins-Royals

I really hope we let Bryce Wilson or Kyle Wright take his spot and not Newcomb. Newk has done really well in the pen.

It's about time for Wright to put up or shutup.

I like my prospects making an impact in their early 20's.

So according to Twitter Joe went off on Luke Jackson on the radio last night after he walked the lead off batter. I wish I could have heard that.

5th overall pick out of COLLEGE. College kids that get picked that high shouldn’t take this long IMO.

Also what about Ian Anderson? It’s been like 5 years since we drafted him.

I just hope Gausman ain’t reinserted into the rotation.

College kids need to be up and making an impact after a year or two.

Anderson is still younger than Soroka, and Soroka is a rarity, but he's doing good in AA, and he'll probably make his debut sometime next season.

twitter seems to indicate that Allard's velocity is up to 91-93

note: i'm not advocating calling him up over Wright or Wilson. Just thought that was interesting

Ah fuck If Allard is throwing in the 90s call his ass up.

I’d prefer to never see Allard in a Braves uniform ever again. I’d just assume they dig up Rick Mahler & let him pitch before calling up Allard.

If his velocity is up and he's got movement, he can be a good pitcher. 89 and flat was never gonna cut it though.

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

So Foltynewicz is sent down & they bring up Sobotka??!!

Mercy....doesn’t this seem to indicate a Gausman return to the rotation?!

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Or will it be ToussAINT?

Never understand your hate for Touki. He is Young but clearly has potential, nobody shows up as an ace right away
