2020 Atlanta Braves News

[Gt2019]

Riley plays decent defense and a decent bat with pop but he strikes out a lot and gets cold very often vs Camargo switch hits, plays really good defense and can play multiple positions and has 1 Full season batting .272

Both Riley HR’s have come off of sliders. Lay-off didn’t seem to help his Winter tune-up work. Not striking out as much, although the team is up higher in that category.

The Braves have activated lefty Will Smith, MLB.com’s Mark Bowman tweets. He had not yet pitched this year due to a prior coronavirus infection.

Trade Riley, keep Camargo.

And do it before the rest of baseball realizes all the Chipper and Troy Glaus comps for Riley are a wee bit skrong.

He has A LOOOOONG way to go before we can start the Chipper and Glaus discussion. Just cause he's a thick white boy at 3rd doesn't make him Chip.

Thats my point. Yet we've heard the Braves broadcast make those comps multiple times. Ludicrous.

Per MLBTR-
Aug. 6: The Braves announced that Rusin has been assigned outright to their alternate training site after clearing waivers. He’ll remain in the team’s 60-player pool but is no longer on the 40-man roster. Because he’s still in the player pool, he’s eligible to rejoin the club later this season.

The Braves announced that they have claimed left-hander Robbie Erlin off waivers from the Pirates. In other moves, the Braves placed right-hander Chris Martin on the 10-day injured list with an esophageal constriction and recalled RHP Chad Sobotka.

Braves-Phillies postponed due to rain, doubleheader Sunday

Per MLBTR:
Mike Soroka’s surgery to repair his right Achilles tendon yesterday was successful, the team announced. The first step in a long recovery process is now in the books for the Braves’ ace. There’s no sugarcoating the severity of Soroka’s injury, though a number of people have made a point to say that Soroka has the temperament and work ethic to weather this storm and return to acedom.

MLB broadcast says game1 is on TBS - 1pm (out of market) and game 2 FSSO
a lot of games this year aren't appearing where advertised for me

CBS says Fried for game 1 and bullpen game 2 likely Ynoa

 

[Milwaukee]

 

[GT_EE78]

Braves got 5 in 5th. lead 5-1.....two run shot by acuna and bases clearing double by Duvall
Ynoa started ,yielded 1.matzek had a good inning
Oh crap - here comes Luke

 

[GT_EE78]

will smith bailed him out.Luke only gave up 1...5-2 Braves
fish trail 4-2 in 6th

 

[GT_EE78]

just watched the 7th inning stretch in the 6th
it's possible that by the end of today we could lead the fish by 0.5 game while trailing them in second place

 

[Milwaukee]

Nice W in the 1st leg. Whoever is in the stadium with the air horn needs to be strangled.

 

[GT_EE78]
