UP NEXT:
Brewers: RHP Chase Anderson (7-7, 3.81) will pitch for the first time in Atlanta as he makes his fourth career start against the Braves. Anderson received no decision in his last start, Tuesday against San Diego, allowing four runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Braves: LHP Sean Newcomb (10-5, 3.15 ERA) carried a no-hitter into the ninth inning of his last home start, a 4-1 win over the Dodgers two weeks ago. He is 2-0 with a 1.31 ERA in his last three starts but lost the last time he faced the Brewers, giving up five runs, five hits and four walks in 3 2/3 innings July 8 at Milwaukee.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Braves manager Brian Snitker confirmed that RHP Anibal Sanchez will start Tuesday at home against Miami despite getting hit by a liner in his last start and leaving a no-decision at Washington after facing seven batters.
LONG SKID:
Atlanta SS Dansby Swanson singled in the seventh but he's 3 for 26 this month and has had his average drop 36 points from June 5 to .238. ... Milwaukee INF Jonathan Schoop grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the seventh and is 5 for 35 since coming over in a trade from Baltimore.

"Atlanta SS Dansby Swanson singled in the seventh but he's 3 for 26 this month and has had his average drop 36 points from June 5 to .238. ... " Charlie...Charlie...Charlie...!!! Hope he's in there today at SS! His OPS in May was .630, then .722 in June, .630 in July and .288 in August, which is almost impossible. And he’s gotten an intentional walk or two this month. Charlie’s OPS during that same period, May .876, June .879, July July .854, August 1.235. His OPS is almost a thousand points higher than Dansby’s this month. But he sits. I’m speechless at this point. Oh well, it’s not like there’s anything important on the line...

Tickets should all be half price on days Dansby plays. Don't they look at stats and who's got the hot hand when they make out the lineup?

The sad thing is the "hot hand" now dates back three and a half months. It's not a small sample size. Do the Braves have such a huge investment in Dansby that they'll feel embarrassed if they sit him? Or is the Front Office ego that huge that they'll never admit they made a poor decision? The whole situation is incredible. Why, it's INCONCEIVABLE that they're that stupid.

ID like to see Acuna go to the school of Rafael Furcal push bunting from the right hand side. They’d never get him with the defensive positioning they run.

Jim Powell just said “the Braves got some good news today as Sam Freeman goes out on a rehab stint to A Rome.” BULLSH1T if that’s good news then so is contracting AIDS

Nice double, Free. Hopefully the team won't waste it.
