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. vimeo.com/916273116?shar…

@marinerebel1 I’m at the game today.

@ShortStopBall can you get bravesvision to pull up?

Best outing for Kinley in a while. That was huge! Also, that throw from Ronald falling away on a wet surface… 😱😍

Ugh!! So close.

Needed a better at-bat by MH2 to start that inning. Watched two fastballs middle-down and then chased a slider in the dirt. Let’s see if they can do it in extras.

Small ball +1

A bunch of warning track power tonight. Guys need to hit the weight room.

It’s always wild to me how so many Braves fans come into the comment section to hate comment on Ronald. My podcast today wasn’t even about Ronald and yet half of the comments were hating on him.

@HavanaBraves He was up in the eighth. Thought he would bring him in to pitch the final two innings once they added on there. But I guess he already had Suarez hot and didn't want to "waste" ReyLo on a 1-inning outing.

@ShortStopBall If it’s not for games like tonight’s, then what is Reinaldo López available for?

Small ball +2

The top 7 teams in sac bunts have 91 combined. The other 23 teams have 100. Those 7 teams are a combined 194-146 this season (.571 win%) with 4 of them in 1st place. Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking you should never bunt. Detroit is the only team with 0 sac bunts.

If you’re a college baseball fan, especially the SEC, you need to be reading @ShortStopBall’s Exit Interview series as teams depart the SECT in Hoover. They’re timely and insightful from a guy who “knows ball.” See them all as they publish on collegebaseballcentral.net, including the latest one from this morning’s game:

We hadn’t even sat down in our seats yet and my 7-year-old son said to me, “Whoever is whistling is way too loud.” Does anybody actually enjoy the Vandy whistler?

The Atlanta #Braves have made the following roster moves in regards to the Rome #Emperors: - INF Keshawn Ogans promoted to AAA #Gwinnett - RHP Luke Sinnard transferred from FCL Braves to High-A #Rome

Did Lindsay just call me dumb.?

Rinse and repeat. (@CrosbyBaseball told me slander works ... it's not working on Austin right now).

SEC Tournament note: I don't know how you justify putting Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament. Only 2 SEC series wins. Series losses to the 3 worst teams in the conference. And 1-3 vs. Vandy, who might get left out even with 2 more SEC wins.

@therealmccaw It's only been 8 games, but the defense has been quite awful. I said he was the best SS available this past offseason, but that had more to do with the lack of options than Kim being a good one.

@ShortStopBall I feel like you were pro Kim in the off-season. How many games has he been back?

Sandy has been so good behind the plate.

Kim...

And another brutal at-bat with a RISP. Come on, Austin. I believe in you, but it's getting hard to defend.
