Went to the Rome Braves game last night, you sit right on the field. Wish I could report a stocked A level team, but we saw a few ballers.
That's always a good time. I have time behind home plate for the all star game in Rome last year but the kung flu killed it

Well, it's a start. But it kinda tells you all you need to know about the state of the Braves outfield when a career .230 hitter is considered an upgrade.

He is certainly an upgrade over Camargo (called up the day of Acuna's diagnosis.), and provides more power than Almonte. They got him for next to nothing by trading a kid who has no shot at playing in Atlanta as long as Freeman is around seeing as how the kid can only play first base, and he's marginal at best there.

Two thoughts…. First, I wonder if they would have made that trade if Acuna hadn’t been hurt. Second, by trading Ball, they are limiting the options outside of signing Freeman. They should have signed him long ago anyway, but now they have even less room to negotiate.

Fine 6-run 4th-inning for the Braves, scoring 1st & leading 6-0, with Max Fried so far going 2-for-2 hits & Joc Pederson getting his 1st HR with the Braves in his 1st game here.

Update with Freddie's HR leading off in the 5th-inning going 2-for-3 hits, extending the lead to 7-0.:bounce:

After pitching top of the 6th, Fried extends his hitting going 3-for-3 in bottom of 6th-inning with 2-RBI's.

Nice 9-0 shutout win for the Braves.

Braves take the lead 1-0 on Albies RBI double hitting deep center field wall in the 1st driving Freddie home.


EDIT Update below . . .


Tough loss for Atlanta 5-7 with multiple lead changes, but glad to have new player additions already producing with Vogt going 3-for-4 hits including an RBI & Pederson going 2-for-4 hits including 2-RBI's. Unfortunately, Rays 4-run 7th-inning gave 'em the win.

Once again Bobby Snitcox went to the Blowpen for the loss. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, should be the Atlanta Bullpen motto.

AJ Minter and Luke Jackson for the loss, again.
Snitkers game plan. Look man get me to the forth or fifth and I promise the bullpen will take it home for us.... hes terrible

Nice win for the Braves over a winning record team highlighted by Touki's good starting pitching & Freddie's HR making Atlanta have a 1-game under 0.500 record.

Wednesday's doubleheader at 12:20 pm & 5:20 pm with starting pitchers Muller & Wilson good performances could give them a chance at a winning record.::ke:

So that's what it's like to be on the OTHER side of watching an unknown, inexperienced, pitcher with virtually no MLB track record, blank your 2nd best in the NL lineup! :D

Yeah, Freddie is quietly putting together another fine year. His average is now up to .288, who would have thunk it after his start to the year, and he should end up with 30+ HR's and 100+ RBIs. A huge year by MLB standards, just another Freddie year for those of us who get to watch him every day.

Freddie Freeman singled with two down in the first. He did not swing and miss. There's no such thing as a jinx.

That's 30 consecutive plate appearances without a swing and miss for Frederick.

#Braves open their road trip with a big win, as Brian Snitker notches his 400th career win as Major League manager.

Final: #Braves open their nine game trip to Philly and New York with a 7-2 win. Dansby Swanson's first career grand slam gave Atlanta an early 5-0 lead, while Charlie Morton allowed two earned over six innings.

Injuries & Roster Moves: Inciarte DFA'd

50 minutes ago

July 24: OF Ender Inciarte designated for assignment
The Braves activated Inciarte from the COVID-19 injured list on Saturday and designated him for assignment prior to the club's game against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The 30-year-old outfielder had a .215/.276/.316 slash line over 52 games this season

He is in the final year of a five-year, $30.5 million deal that he signed in December 2016. That also included a $9 million option ($1.025 million buyout) for '22.

Sports radio reports Freddie Freeman is swinging a stick of dynamite, hitting a 2-run HR in 1st inning.

@FreddieFreeman5's consecutive plate appearances without a swing and a miss streak is very much alive!

6:17 PM · July 24, 2021


Abraham Almonte continues with a solo HR in 2nd-inning to extend lead to 3-0.

Swanson's RBI double & again Almonte hits 2-RBI single to grow shutout lead to 6-0 in the 3rd-inning.

Uh oh, Smyly gives away 3 consecutive walks including a balk starting the 4th-inning to load the bases, but next batter grounds into double play, then next batter flies out to prevent any scoring.

BREAKING: Freddie Freeman swung and missed.

Ends his streak of consecutive plate appearances without a swing and miss at 35.

He's human afterall.
