Looks like Teheran is going to pitch tonight on 4 days regular rest and they are gonna five Newk an extra day of rest and have him pitch tomorrow

Gohara put on bereavement list. Wisler called up.

I am hoping he’s for bullpen and won’t be starting next week.

I like how Brown likes to just crop dust his chop every now and then...

Some good news here

 

[zjcvols]

So Braves have a DH Monday. I guess the rotation goes

Friday- Julio
Sat- Newk
Sun- Folty
Mon game 1- McCarthy
Mon game 2- Wisler

Then the Braves will have a decision on Tuesdays starter. Either Allard or Sims I think. Maybe they activate Anibal

In his defense, he's pitched ok this year

 

[Vercingetorix]

hmm

I remember reading in a Bill James abstract in ~1985 that t if you're really only going to use your best reliever for one inning at a time that the 1st is rationally the best place for it. 30 years later someone's actually doing it.

Markadick and Acuna swapping RF/LF for the series

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

That wasn't even close to a strike

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Markadick and Acuna swapping RF/LF for the series

Saw this earlier. Is it a defensive move due to Fenway or am I missing something else?

Yeah, Markakis has experience with the green monster.

 

[TBrown]

Lmao at the experience angle


RF is like 1000sq ft larger than LF in Fenway and Acuna is a way better outfielder

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Yeah, Markakis has experience with the green monster.

Ah

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Lmao at the experience angle


RF is like 500 sq ft larger than LF in Fenway and Acuna is a way better outfielder

Well that makes sense also

Any of you guys ever been to Fenway? I’ve always wanted to make the trip but I’m terrified of flying.

Yes .. definitely worth it

Yes Boston is nice

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Kelsey Wingert just said that the experience is the reason Markadick is in left so there Brown

 

[Kingston Vol]

Wife says I get to pick the vacation next year (lol we’ll see) so this might be the move.

I mean...i wasn't lying.

 

[TBrown]

Ya - that is what the braves are saying but I’m sticking with RF being MASSIVE considering mookie plays RF and literally anyone with a pulse plays LF in Boston.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Mookie and JBJ have so much swagger.
