We best get ready for some Josh Tomlin tonight!
We'll also get to see Minter back in the bigs.

We best get ready for some Josh Tomlin tonight! We'll also get to see Minter back in the bigs. Martin and Santana should be able to pitch an inning each if needed. Neither pitched Tuesday. Also, Matzek has thrown a limited number of pitches the past two nights - hopefully he will be available, too.
Get six strong from Muller and hopefully some combo of those guys and Minter can close out another win. No Tomlin, please. Hopefully, once Ynoa is ready, he will be the next to be DFA'd. Or Smith.

Tomlin has a job for life here.
Hopefully we score 15 runs and make pitching choices a moot point.

This is a big help. Thanks, SI! Seriously though, this is a good read. Truth be told, there are a lot of parallels between his journey and my own. It's August 12, and somehow, some way here the Braves are tied for first place. Warts and all, Snit has a lot to do with that. His story is inspirational. www.si.com/.amp/mlb/2021/08/12/braves-brian-snitker-better-late-daily-cover

*** WEATHER UPDATE*** METMAN WEATHER SERVICES 12 August 2021 3:50 PM EDT Atlanta Metro Area BRAVES GAME FORECAST (5:10 PM EDT)
Game Time Forecast: Partly to mostly cloudy and very humid with a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm, especially early. Temperatures in the mid to upper 80's, falling to around 80 by 9 PM. Winds SW 3-6 MPH. Max gust is 14 MPH. Precipitation is expected to be <0.1" but isolated somewhat heavier showers may develop in the metro area, especially south. 18Z HRRR lacks coverage and intensity and the current radar is unimpressive. HRW models are persistent with heavier showers to the south and east. Atmospheric moisture is high and diurnally driven storms may develop locally given the lack of overall synoptic scale forcing this evening. I'll check the radar before game time.
-PA GO BRAVES!!!

"He's thriving" only because he has a lot of talented players that make up for his boneheadedness. You can be old school and ignore analytics and still be a good manager, but he isn't.
Great guy, I do respect him as a person, and he's a great cheerleader, but he's a putrid X's and O's guy.

His backstory is incredible, though. But there's a reason it took so long for him to make it, too. I think what he went through to get here makes him too sympathetic to certain guys. That's probably his biggest weakness, actually.

Radar looks good, HIRES looks good. Party cloudy, muggy with temps in the 80's and light SW wind so the ball should be carrying well this evening.

Did you guys see where Wainwright pitched a Maddux last night? Those are as rare as hen's teeth these days.

As expected high pitch count for Muller already. Get ready for Tomlin time.
Reds announcers raving about how good their pitcher's change up is. We struggle against guys who have good offspeed pitches and this guy has been good lately.

He'll be especially good if the ump keeps giving him strikes on pitches a foot outside.
