Lots going on in Braves history on this date......read this to the tune of “New York, New York”, btw..........what a week this has been!!!
1932 With a Boston law that prohibited games from being played within 1000 feet of a church on Sundays now rescinded, the first Sunday game is played at Fenway Park with the Red Sox dropping a 13-2 decision. The team played its Sunday games at Braves Field on Commonwealth Avenue until the law was changed, having played their first home contest on the Christian day of worship on April 28, 1929.
1945 At Braves Field in Boston, the Cubs tally the most runs in their post-1900 history when they blast the Braves, 24-2. Phil Cavarretta, Don Johnson, and Stan Hack each score five times, tying a major league mark.
1966 Tony Cloninger, in a 17-3 rout of the Giants, hits two grand slams in the same game and collects nine RBI's in the Candlestick Park contest. The Braves' pitcher is the first National League player to hit two bases-loaded home runs in the same game.
1967 Billy Williams, Ron Santo, and Randy Hundley all homer for the Cubs in the first, and Rico Carty and Felipe Alou also go deep for the Braves in the same inning in Chicago's 12-6 victory at Atlanta Stadium. The five round-trippers at the 'Launching Pad' tie a major league record for home runs hit by two teams in the same inning, but the barrage marks the first time the feat occurs in the opening frame.
2016 The first regular-season MLB game is played in North Carolina when the Marlins beat the Braves 5-4 at Fort Bragg. The contest, witnessed by 12,500 spectators made up of mostly current or former service personnel jammed into a temporary stadium constructed in a little less than four months, was staged on a military base to pay tribute to America’s Armed Forces.
And elsewhere from around baseball....
1912 Giants' southpaw Rube Marquard wins his 19th consecutive game from the start of the season, beating Brooklyn at the Polo Grounds, 2-1. The 25 year-old future Hall of Famer, who will complete the campaign with a 26-11 record, compiles the most victories any pitcher has ever had to begin a year without suffering a defeat.
1925 Milt Stock sets a National League mark by having his fourth consecutive four-hit game, going 16-for-23 during the span to compile a .696 batting average. The 31 year-old second baseman's offensive output, which includes three singles and a triple, helps the Robins beat the Giants at Ebbets Field, 6-3. (Literary license taken here...notable to me mostly because the first Little League team I ever played on was the Robins!!!)
1929 The Cubs and the Reds become the first teams to turn nine double plays in a major league contest collectively. Chicago, responsible for five of the twin killings, beats Cincinnati at Wrigley Field, 7-5.
1948 Dick Lane hits five homers in a Fort Wayne Central League game. The Muskegon slugger will finish the season with a dozen round-trippers, but he will never go deep in a major league game.

Newcomb must limit his walks tonight. Solo HR not bad. Two walks + HR = BAD!

So, Viz is set to come off of the DL today. Logically, Freeman would be the one to go, but I'm almost 100% certain that the human yo-yo, Evan Phillips, will once again be sent down to AAA before even throwing a pitch in the majors.
We could have a key piece to the bullpen on our staff but we'll never know if he never gets a chance.
OK - mini-rant over

We've carried 8 relievers most of the season and are currently only carrying 7.
With Culberson listed as an infielder but very capable of playing a corner outfield spot, my guess is we send our 5th outfielder down. Now I would prefer that to be Santana, but he's one of those versatile player guys that we love so much so I wouldn't be surprised to see Michael Reed optioned.

Yeah no way Snitkers letting go of his beloved Danny Santana. Look for Danny to be leading off if Snitker ever realizes we need to try someone other than Ender.

If Moylan ever becomes "abled" and returns all the fans should record their exit velocity

If Moylan ever becomes "abled" and returns all the fans should record their exit velocity I’d like to see Moylans exit velocity to the DFA list.

Mark Bowman @mlbbowman Viz will likely be activated tonight. Minter and Winkler might not be available after pitching the past two days. Seems like a good night to anticipate Evan Phillips making his debut.
