Is Charlie Culberson only for "emergency" use as a catcher ?? ... if he is willing I'd give him a try.

Yes. I don't want to see Culberson at all behind the plate. That's a disaster waiting to happen.

The Braves have agreed to a contract extension with second baseman Ozzie Albies, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). Terms of the deal remain unclear. Albies was already under control through 2023 but will now join Ronald Acuna Jr. in comprising a core that the Braves can build around beyond that point in time. An official announcement from the team is expected today, per USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.

I understand Acuna taking his, but this one seems like a steal for the Braves

Yea.. I kind of feel like we ripped him off. I’m sure he could’ve gotten a lot more.

If he keeps hitting like he has been, he is going to be a VERY happy man

Ozzie Albies that’ll guarantee the 22-year-old a total of $35MM from 2019-25. The contract includes a pair of club options reportedly valued at $7MM apiece, each of which has a $4MM buyout. If both are exercised, Albies will earn a mere $49MM over the next nine seasons — four of which would have been free-agent years.

I take care of Freddie’s contract before Dansbys. Freddie’s got 2 more years and we need to extend.
It’s only been 11 games so we need to see if Dansby can keep it up.

1-0 Kevin Gausman is starting for the 7-4 Braves tonight while the starter for the 7-4 Mets will be 0-0 Steven Matz. The Braves win tonight and they could be alone tonight in 1st place in the NL East.
