This is gorgeous

[NFL Fashion Advice @fashion_nfl]

Boise State-Oregon uniform matchup is set.

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

Pretty cool that the Nationals have a text bot you could sign up for to get rain delay updates. It’s for each game individually, so it won’t be sending stuff out other nights. 3:20 resumption

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

- Michael Harris II acknowledged the missed opportunities but said, "Sometimes baseball humbles you." He said that they're not going to come through in those situations every time, and they'll look to execute better next time

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

Not in the clubhouse tonight but notes from presser:
- Weiss was noncommittal on playoff plans for AJSS, they're taking it day by day with plenty of options with the current six + ReyLo
- AJSS is frustrated with his lack of results, is focused on winning not proving health

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

The add-on runs from the Nationals and just the one run from the Braves in the 3rd are both really hurting now

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

What a missed opportunity

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

It's been a difficult inning for Smith-Shawver after the ball ricocheted off of Olson's glove. The score and the pitch count have really suffered as a result

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

@ATLHeadband Makes total sense to me as of now, but I think it will go down to the wire in terms of who is pitching well enough to earn starting roles. It will also be interesting to see if ReyLo pitches well enough to make it difficult to leave him off

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

As @chrisdimino just explained on @680TheFan this is just procedural. Weird that it doesn’t say retroactively, but still this doesn’t mean there’s been a setback

[Atlanta Braves @Braves]

The #Braves today selected RHP Blake Burkhalter and INF Kyle Farmer to the major league roster, and transferred RHP Robert Suarez to the 60-day injured list.

@drwillsw Weiss on Lee’s usage: “He’s had a pretty good workload. Nothing absurd or anything. So you’ll wonder about fatigue, but he feels great.” He was asked about the balance between resting and rust and said, “That is a fine line…Most relievers like to throw, within reason.”

[Will Hopkins @WillHopkins325]

Over Dylan Lee's last seven outings, which span 4.2 IP, he's allowed 12 hits and six earned runs. Prior to that, he had gone nine outings, which spanned 8.2 IP, without allowing a hit or a run.

Eventful day! Forgot to send this along

That's all for tonight. Players/Weiss didn't have much to say, and reporters didn't have much to ask after the 7-3 loss. The Braves will start a two-game set tomorrow night in DC at 6:45 ET. I'll be cutting audio for @680TheFan and the @BravesRadioNet

It was notable to me that Lee didn't make a single mention of his stuff, albeit he wasn't asked about it directly.
