I can't see twitter at work, who did they call up as the 27th man?

Nobody has said. Been trying to find that myself

9 pitches? They are definitely swinging at everything today lol

*29th man actually

Plot twist: Chris Sale is in San Diego

I'm really starting to believe this actually. No one knew this was going to be the case until 15 minutes before 1st pitch???

Easier to say given today's events so far, but it is wild how anomalous 2021 appears to have been. Since 2018, we've made the playoffs every year but only won playoff series in 2020 and 2021, and 2020 was a wacky shortened season whose meaning I question.

Outside of that, it is vintage Barves, specifically early 2000s Barves.

Soft tossing lefty in a game you’re gonna be pressing is recipe for disaster

Attitude reflect leadership. We ain't got a leader up top.

This team needed Joc Pederson badly

This team needed Joc Pederson badly

I think they miss a whole host of guys, not all of whom are players.

Joc by himself kind of seems like a clown, honestly. But along with the others, yes, he was a guy people looked to

Too bad we can’t score in batting practice

What’s the ol Charles Barkley quote on Deandre Jordan?

Lock him in the gym overnight and tell him he can’t dunk. come back in the morning he’ll have 4 points

That’s us

So the only guys available are Luke, Lee, Hernandez and Chavez right? And Lee/Hernandez threw 20 and 25 pitches respectively yesterday?

Good Lord that is dire.

Iggy will pitch

Wont be needed

@mr.checkerboards I can't find anything for 29th man for either team and I'm 98*% sure you get an extra guy in September for a DH

 

[zjcvols]

Iggy will pitch

I'm not necessarily worried about the 9th, i'm worried about getting there lol

I've had a lot of bad takes in the decade+ history of the Braves thread on VN but any defending Arcia takes I've had have been my worst by far
