Hechevarria is turning out to be a hecheva pick-up, huh guys

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

Ronald Acuña is the greatest leadoff hitter in Braves history. In this essay I will-

[Atlanta Braves @Braves]

Have a night, @ozzie!

[Grant McAuley @grantmcauley]

Adam Duvall cuts down the go-ahead run, but the Reds have tied it with a run in the 9th thanks to a bloop single.

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

@TalkingChop Absolutely. Love your account man, one of my favorite Braves accounts to keep up with. We’d love to have you on a podcast one day in the future to discuss more!

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

This is baffling.

OF replacement options:
Culberson, Comargo (when swanson comes back), Joyce, Duvall.

Good Bullpen options:
Swarzack, ...............

Pitching wins ballgames, good bats help. Not the other way around.

[Battery Power @BatteryPowerSBN]

Braves potentially eyeing Puig, per report https://t.co/xw415DVoNB

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

@TalkingChop I agree - just think there’s a better RF option than Puig if you want to shop around.

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

@TalkingChop Well according to Snit and medical professionals it will be 6-8 weeks but....okay. The point remains that we have a greater need on the mound and that should be the focal point.

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

@TalkingChop Also - how is a .250/.305/.480 guy a drastic improvement from a .284/.358/.429 guy who will most likely be back for the post season?

Need a guy to bridge the gap till Kakes is back - not take his spot.

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

@TalkingChop You included the report that Jon Hyman stated the Braves have interest in Puig. My point was not that they ARE making Puig a priority - but rather that they don’t need to make him a priority.

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

@TalkingChop Puig. Puig would not help this lineup. And yes, almost everything has said pitching is priority - except your link that says they’re eyeing Puig...

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

@TalkingChop Looking for a replacement is fine, eyeing a guy that wouldn’t help this lineup is not.

The point is we have legitimate in-house options for right field.

We don’t have legitimate in-house bullpen options right now. That should be the focus.

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

All - Time pimp job on the double there by Matt Chavis. Shoulder said it all. @Cut4

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

CC: @Braves

[Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal]

An option #Mets are exploring, per sources: Trading Syndergaard and signing Wheeler to an extension. NYM would benefit from return for Syndergaard while keeping Wheeler, a quality starting pitcher who otherwise would depart in free agency. @TheAthleticMLB

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

Don’t look now but @ozzie is just a single and a HR shy of the cycle👀

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

Death. Taxes. Acuña destroying starting pitcher’s 1st inning ERA. You love to see it.

[Dugout Chatter @DugoutChatter_]

Petition for Scherzer to just maintain the black eye until he retires. The guy is a mad man on the bump.

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

Scherzer vs. Miggy, Pre-Pitch.

Spoiler alert: Max K'd him.
