I stand corrected. Easily the worst 2 innings of baseball I've ever witnessed. So you can enjoy the game like most of the fair weather Braves fans in here...

Not many teams give up an 8-run lead & give up 9-runs in one inning like the Braves. What a horrible 8th-inning. Disappointing.

:eek:

Braves relief pitcher Jose Ramirez gives up 4-runs in 10th-inning loss last night to go with April 14th 8th-inning disaster & loss when he was charged with 5-earned-runs in one-third of an inning, now has ERA 17.05.


AND

Hope Braves did commit too much on today's new acquisition annc't below . . .

Braves sign Jose Bautista to Minors deal

Atlanta Braves today agreed to terms with free agent José Bautista on a one-year minor-league contract for the 2018 season

Bautista, 37, played last season with Toronto and batted .203 (119-for-587) with 27 doubles, 23 home runs and 65 RBI over 157 games. The 2017 season was his eighth consecutive campaign with at least 20 home runs, and he is one of just three players in the majors with at least 20 homers in each season since 2010, joining Nelson Cruz and Giancarlo Stanton.

$1 mil IF he's added to the 40 man roster. Even so, at $1 mil, if he can give Freeman and Markakis ANY kind of protection in the middle of the lineup and allow Acuna to get adjusted to ML pitching in the bottom third of the order, it will be a solid pickup. And maybe he can pitch the 7th-9th innings...

I love my Braves but JEEZ that 'pen!

last night they were saying Ramirez was talking about how this saturday he couldn't feel the ball, etc as to why he blew that huge lead.

after last night i wonder if he wants to amend that excuse.

According to a recent Braves twitter post about him going on the disabled list, sounds like he has problems.

Saw Snitker in an interview report that when he went out to the pitcher's mound Saturday, he realized how much worse the conditions were on the field, then lots of other players came over saying they could not throw the ball in those bad weather conditions, while he personally said it was one of the worst his ever experience on the field.

Noticed a post about Camargo is back in the big leagues in tonight's game.

Freddie Freeman exited Wednesday night's 7-3 win over the Phillies after his left wrist was once again hit by a pitch

pitch struck the portion of his wrist that was fractured when he was hit by Blue Jays left-hander Aaron Loup's pitch on May 17

after a many year hiatus from watching baseball (other than the occasional game) , I started back a few years ago. My wife has never watched pro baseball, or even been to a game. she has gotten REALLY into it the last couple of years. to the point that she got all upset when freddie got hit last night. funny thing is she now has an app on her phone telling her the braves schedule so she don't miss a game. she did that on her own. LOL

now shes talking about going to a braves game

Pen needs a lot of work. Lucas Sims days in Atlanta are numbered, he is a fly ball pitcher. Carle, Minter and Freeman are the only reliable arms in the bullpen right now.

Looks like Soroka will be up with Acuna soon though.

Better news than expected below . . .

Looking forward to Braves opener against the 1st place Mets to see how well Atlanta can compete against their top division competitor.

Freddie Freeman received the result he was seeking and immediately began lobbying to be in the Braves' lineup for Thursday night's series opener against the Mets

MRI exam performed on Thursday revealed Freeman did not incur any structural damage when his left wrist was hit

Whatta rocking catch by gold glove winner Inciarte!





Must C Catch: Inciarte leaps high for home run theft

Published on April 19, 2018

Ender Inciarte makes a last-second leap to the top of the center-field wall to steal a home run from Scott Kingery



https://www.mlb.com/braves/news/ender-inciarte-robs-scott-kingery-of-home-run/c-272826790

Ender goes over the wall, makes snowcone grab

"I'm getting used to watching him do that kind of stuff," Snitker said. "I didn't think he had a chance for that. He kind of marked it off. That was unbelievable."

"That was an unbelievable catch," McCarthy said. "First, I thought it was a good pitch and then I realized, 'Oh my God, it's going to be a home run.' Then he caught it. There were too many emotions wrapped up quick. There's a reason he's a multiple Gold Glove winner. That was a fantastic play."
