Hey Braves brothers and sisters....

Nationals headed your way. It pains me to think about how 'uninteresting' I think this 4-game series will be. The Nationals are 2 things:
1) Defending WS champions
2) One of the worst teams in Major League Baseball

They are on a 6 game losing streak and have only 1 win out of last 10.

The combined record of the 4 scheduled Nationals starters is 3-11
Voth (0-4)
Crowe (0-1)
Fedde (1-3)
Corbin (2-3)

There are some good (even great) parts Trea Turner and Juan Soto are (believe it or not) #1 and #2, respectively, in BA in MLB. That should tell you how bad the rest of the team is right now. Both of these guys are the only reason I tune in at this point. They are fun to watch.

Out of the bullpen... Suero (9 of 9) and Rainey (10 of 10) have not allowed any inherited runners to score.

I like it when the Nationals play the Braves... just wish it meant more at this point in the season than it will this weekend. Good luck to the Braves... I hope the Nationals figure out something to make it a competitive series.
game 2 last night was too competitive
can't believe braves had 4 homers scored 9 and lost
I can only surmise that Snitker's mask cut off air to brain
pitching Wiegle and culberson in 7th was crazy
Even announcers were saying they hoped that the real pitchers that were available weren't injured
hopefully tonight goes better. Braves 4-3 after 4.5

SOBgotcha or So-Bad-hitcha, has got to go. I suspect, Turnstiles Tuesday will be his date to the “I’ve been shelled camp.”
27 yo and a minor-league success only!

Per MLBTR:
Cole Hamels will throw a live batting practice session on Sunday, as the injury-plagued southpaw might yet still have a chance to factor into the 2020 season. Braves manager Brian Snitker told MLB.com’s Mark Bowman and other reporters that “We’re just looking to get through a couple live BPs and see how he is,” perhaps wisely not setting even a speculative timeline given that Hamels battled shoulder issues during Spring Training and is currently on the 45-day injured list recovering from left triceps tendinitis. Bowman speculates that Hamels likely won’t start pitching in simulated games until next weekend at the earliest, so the left-hander might not be able to join the Braves until roughly the last 7-10 days of the regular season.

Hamels(might only go one or two innings to start out with), Albies close to being activated. Fried lost velocity on his fastball on Saturday:
The Atlanta Braves announced a number of roster moves this morning, the most consequential of which was placing ace Max Fried on the injured list, retroactive to September 6th, the team announced. Also, Kyle Wright was recalled and Jacob Webb reinstated from the injured list. Fan favorite utility man Charlie Culberson was designated for assignment.

Tidbit heard tonight...

Braves have
8 games with no HRs
and
12 games with 3 HRs (or more)

This isn't the baseball I grew up on.
The way our starters are performing, we gonna need more homers.
Erlin got bombed for 5. Ynoa was in in the 2nd inning - Ya gotta warm up now before getting on the plane for recall.
Thanks to 2 homers by Freddie and one from Acuna its 6-6 mid 7th... more homers needed
