Sounds like Pittsburgh. Lapsed podcaster/blogger that spouts my baseball thoughts on here so my wife doesn’t have to listen to them.

It's a shame Waldrep pitched tonight because suspended games are kinda his thing

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

@jase1129 They can move Kyle Farmer to the 60-day IL, he’s been on there for 32 days already.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

Both teams can bring in a 27th man who can only be used in the later, regularly scheduled game.

Possible scenario:

Anthony Molina gets 2-3 innings of the first game and is optioned in favor of Carlos Carrasco for game 2. Someone like Hunter Stratton can be used as the 27th man.

Tonight’s game against the San Francisco Giants has been suspended due to inclement weather. We will resume the game tomorrow, Wednesday, June 17, at 2 PM ET with the Braves batting in the bottom of the 2nd inning.

All ticket holders from tonight’s suspended game will be admitted to the 2 PM ET game tomorrow. Gates will open at 1:30 PM ET.  

Tomorrow night‘s regularly scheduled game will take place at 7:15 PM ET. Gates will open approximately one hour after the conclusion of the suspended game.

A separate ticket will be required for both games.

@MinSub4 Drue Hackenberg is scheduled for Gwinnett but there aren’t any 40-man SP options at that level. Hayden Harris, Daysbel Hernández, Rolddy Muñoz, Hunter Stratton, and Victor Mederos are the only options.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

@b_outliers Tonight’s events seem worthy of an hour-long deep dive podcast.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

@madhtr Yeah, figure he gets the bulk of the action then gets optioned out for Carrasco tomorrow.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

It’s gonna be cool when the Braves bullpen gets gutted from having to cover seven innings right after an off-day.

[Mark Bowman @mlbbowman]

They are hoping to resume play around 10 pm ET

All of Sandy León’s hits this season don’t even add up to 473 feet.

@Tim_Brindle Because someone has to pitch if/when Grant Holmes gets knocked out in the 3rd or 4th inning on Tuesday.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

I imagine that Anthony Molina will be optioned back to Gwinnett on Monday (which will be his third time this season) and Carlos Carrasco will be added back to the Braves roster on Tuesday.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

Has any other pitcher had two TJ surgeries AND an internal brace on the same elbow?

[Chad Bishop @MrChadBishop]

Braves manager Walt Weiss says today there is “nothing definitive yet” on Spencer Strider; Strider will next go be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister this week

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

Fangraphs has the Tigers’ postseason chances at 19.9% so they may not be ready to sell off yet.

[Jon Morosi @jonmorosi]

The Tigers' postseason chances have dropped to 2.4%, per @baseball_ref.

Scott Harris has made "sell" trades with the following clubs since arriving to Detroit:

LAD, ATL, PHI, SFG, TEX.

Of note: The Braves have multiple starters on the IL.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

@JimBlaine He’s fully healthy, I imagine that’s a lot of it.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

Ozzie Albies has been legitimately good on defense this season.

He’s having his best fWAR season since 2023 and his best defensive season since 2022.

@A_Huffstutler They do this where they’ve had issues with large gatherings and fights, some of the ones near me do the same thing.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

@timtam2006 Figure he probably hit a wall at that point. Not worried about it.

[Matt Chrietzberg @BravesMattC]

Hurston Waldrep breezed through the first three innings of his rehab start w/Double-A Columbus before giving up four runs in the 4th and leaving after throwing 53 pitches (33 strikes).

It’s likely that he gets at least two more rehab starts before coming back up to the big club.
