Not thrilled about our odds tonight with the pitching matchup but ... if we can steal this one, I like our chances for a sweep!

Tonight's lineup: Albies 2B Dansby SS FF 1B Nick at Nite RF Suzuki C Culberson LF Ender CF Camargo 3B McCarthy P Good grief, Culberson hitting 6th again. Stoopid.
He's one for his last eleven and four for his last eighteen.
Whatever magic he was able to catch for a spell there is gone. It's nice that it helped to raise his career OPS over .600, but it is what it is.

Well, he is 1-3 vs. Richard and Camargo is 0-4 so there is that (rolls eyes)

Some Braves items from this date.....
1938 In the first night game played in New York City, Johnny Vander Meer pitches his second consecutive no-hitter, beating the Dodgers at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field, 6-0. Four days ago, the Reds' southpaw held the Braves hitless in a 3-0 victory at Crosley Field.
1957 Red Schoendienst, who was unexpectedly traded to the Giants last season by Cardinals GM Frank Lane, is dealt a year and a day later by New York to Milwaukee for Ray Crone, Danny O'Connell, and Bobby Thomson. The nine-time All-Star, who hit .301 during his two partial seasons in the Big Apple, will play a key role in the Braves' World Championship, leading the league with 200 hits and finishing third in the NL MVP balloting.
1996 In the first inning of their 6-2 victory over the Braves, the Dodgers turn their first triple play in forty-seven years. After making a running, back-to-the-plate grab of Chipper Jones's popup to short left with runners on first and second, Juan Castro throws to second baseman Delino Deshields to double up Marquis Grissom, then the ball is relayed to first baseman Eric Karos to get Mark Lemke, who was also running on the pitch.
And a couple temper tantrums from around MLB...
1949 Shortly after 1a.m., Ruth Ann Steinhagen shoots Eddie Waitkus in the chest with a rifle at Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel, after luring him to her room with an urgent note delivered by the bellhop. The obsessed fan, who had become infatuated with the first baseman when he played with the Cubs, apparently is upset and agitated because the All-Star infielder was traded to the Phillies. (I had to think about this one a bit because I thought I recognized the name, and did some research to make sure...Eddie and Shoeless Joe Jackson were two of the guys who THE NATURAL was loosely based on....for the record, Eddie lived but his career was cut short....and Ruth Ann spent some time in a mental institution)
1955 After striking out against the Amarillo Gold Sox, 22 year-old Albuquerque Dukes outfielder Larry Segovia kicks a water fountain in the dugout, breaking a pipe that creates a 50-foot high cascade of water which soaks his teammates and nearby fans. The West Texas-New Mexico League contest will be delayed as the grounds crew shuts off the water, repairs the damages, and removes the puddles from the playing field.

I heard them mention on the Braves broadcast that Red Schoendienst once played for the Braves. I didn't realize he was so instrumental on the '57 Braves team. Did you ever hear me talking about having breakfast in Asheville with Warren Spahn?

AtlantaBraves @braves The Atlanta Braves are saddened by the passing of longtime usher Herman Mills. He had the biggest smile in the ballpark and the best dance moves in town! All of Braves Country will miss you, Herman ❤️

I have a buddy that years ago (mid 80's) sponsored a baseball card show in Asheville, NC, featuring Jim Palmer and Warren Spahn and another player (I forgot who). My biddy asked me if I wanted to go with him to the Airport to pick up Warren Spahn and then go to breakfast. I said hell yeah. He was drunk. We went to a Shoney's and he had breakfast and drank a lot of coffee. I was so disappointed that he was a huge racist digging on Hank Aaron (I want even say the names he called him), and he hated Willie Mays. He had a large ranch in Oklahoma with a tremendous amount of land and cattle. Other than the racist stuff, he was actually nice and had a tremendous amount of baseball stories.
