I typically keep it all sports on here and don't get personal, but I've had so many people tell me how moved they were by my brother's funeral service that I feel the need to share in hopes that it might impact one of your lives for the better.

@AaronSm06136320 Oh yea, he certainly has no reason to be upset about getting nearly $4M.
English

@ShortStopBall I don't know. $4M for a college kid whose chances of making it to the MLB are really a long shot. And I'm not talking about him ...just in general.
English

This seems like an awful deal for Gracia, but when you consider the 19th pick (he was ranked as the 19th best prospect by MLB Pipeline) has a slot value of $4.53M, then yea, I guess it's still a bad deal for him, haha. But we'll gladly take it.

The Braves signed 1st rounder AJ Gracia for $3,997,500. Slot value for the ninth overall pick is $6,675,300. A $2,677,800 under slot deal. baseballamerica.com/players/308438…

@calfenn_ @LockedOn_Braves Can’t be picky. Of course we all want the best. But I’ll take something over nothing, because what we have right now is nothing.
English

@LockedOn_Braves @ShortStopBall I in concept agree with adding multiple sp like 2021 but I’d argue aiming for quality still. Mize and Peralta are two rental arms that can be quality additions and have shown top or rotation stuff versus the likes of Ray/Singer.

Something else on this play, when I saw it unfold, I thought maybe he was setting up to go to 2nd. But Mike was busting it. I think 1st was his play all along, but still worth pointing out the good job Mike did hustling to 2nd to try and take that option away.
Lindsay Crosby, big baseball guy@CrosbyBaseball
Masyn Winn's a Gold Glove shortstop with a MASSIVE arm, but one's that prone to overthrows. This 90 mph throw to first is wide and Atlanta takes a 4-3 lead!
English

Or you know, just don't try anything and leave him standing at 1st the entire inning.

Ok, fast runner on to begin an inning in a tie game. Figure it out.
English

Also, does Drake realize that Fuentes has a pretty good slider.? He threw ONE slider. Hindsight being what it is, but I feel pretty confident if you execute a good slider to Fermin there after showing him a fastball up you'd get a swing-and-miss.
Jake Mastroianni@ShortStopBall
Feels like we should be up by 5, and yet it's a tie game.

@MofieldChris @Coach_king038 Hence why I said, "I don't want to put too much of this on Walt." But there has to be some level of accountability on the manager there.
English

@ShortStopBall @Coach_king038 I agree but these players are paid alot to show up ready to go and do their jobs. At this level, Walt shouldn't have to hold guys hands and motivate them to do their jobs.
English

@ChoppinBravos You've got no one else to replace him with. Maybe JR, but it's not like he's looked loads better. I'm even taking a shot on Murphy because I'm hopeful, but he's an unknown. It's not a great situation. Gotta hope they can fix it at the deadline, but until then...
English

@ShortStopBall Elder can’t be in this rotation he’s done.
English

@JGoldy03 I would have had him over Mederos, but unless there is another injury, they can't bring him back until July 26.
English

@JohnCla74180525 Yes, not sure when yet though. Last report said he hasn't started throwing again.
English

@99shawnb Last report I saw he hasn't even started throwing yet.
English

@ShortStopBall Suarez will be back soon and Acuna will be back. We're okay
