I believe they're gonna need another starting pitcher if they're gonna make a run this year

Dang TV went out on me. Turned it one about 2:00 pm to check out what channel it would be on, then tried to turn it back on at 3:00 pm and it was dead.

Could have watched on another TV I guess but figured that was an omen.

They get another starting pitcher in 2-3 weeks. The starting staff is going to be a strength this season as opposed to last season.

Soroka, Fried, Morton, Smyly, Anderson with Wilson still waiting on his chance...

Nice late innings rally making it a close game. No telling what additional talent AA will find to help in the future to make the team better.

Time = 1:11

Reckon MLB removing the All-Star game from Atlanta had a negative impact Saturday Braves game 1-hit shutout loss. What a shame allowing politics into sports & entertainment.

Atlanta Braves cover All-Star Game logo on jerseys, hats

7:59 PM ET

The All-Star Game patch that appeared on the right sleeve of the Braves' jerseys during Opening Day was sewn over Saturday for the game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The same logo was gone from their hats, too.

The uniform change came a day after Major League Baseball announced that this summer's All-Star Game was being moved out of Atlanta over the sport's objections to sweeping changes to Georgia voting laws.

Commissioner Rob Manfred made the decision to move the All-Star Game and events, along with the amateur draft, from Atlanta after discussions with individual big leaguers and the Players Alliance, an organization of Black players formed after the death of George Floyd last year.

"This all came together rather quickly," said Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward, who is Black. "We had, I think, a day left in spring training. The Players Alliance, we gathered and got as many people as we could on a call. It was probably less than 50 guys on there out of the 100 or whatever. We had our conversation.

The Braves front office pushed back against MLB. At least they did that.

In a press conference earlier today, Rizzo is lobbying to not play the Braves series to allow his players some extra workouts to get ready. If I'm not mistaken, they have 9 players in Covid-19 protocol.

Harper made hisself look like a complete moron on the basepaths twice, so there's that silver lining.

Not much offense to speak of from either side other than the one inning that got away from Morton yesterday. Hopefully the middle of the order gets going soon.

Yes, that's the way I would lean & expect things to be postponed, nothing official yet, expecting an annc't in the morning. Nats have not been able to practice, makes sense for them to get a practice day or 2 before their next or 1st game, but obviously Braves offense / bats could use some practices, too.
