Retired writer... get your Atlanta Braves updates via A Face for radio; a voice for blogging. Also keyboardist for the glory of God.

I gotta wonder if we'll find out in the next couple of weeks that the Padres just got greedy and outbid the Braves for Casey Mize.... and it's the 'greedy' part that we're missing here.

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

Unearned runs are killers. Washington has now given up 57 of those on the year... 4th worst in baseball. The median is ~40, pending today's action. Best: LAD with 21. Worst: BALT with 69. Atlanta 9th best (35) entering play today.

@CJNitkowski RALLY BURGER

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@baldheaded1der I'm thinking 'Facebook Marketplace' for Kim.

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

Sorry, but I really can't say that I love it.

[MLB @MLB]

Atlanta, you’re going to love this 🩵

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

Overturn THAT!

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

Bobby Witt Jr serenaded with 'If I Only Had a Brain'.

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@BillShanks Or perhaps Scherzer's name doesn't leap to mind when you ask for the category 'Give me durable pitchers for $3 million, Alex'.

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

Lots of Braves news today!

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@ShortStopBall @mlbbowman I had an idea for a name change, but seems it's been taken.

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@KnockahomaNTN You don't even care about the Braves Foundation anymore. smh.

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@ShortStopBall Apparently the priority required another infielder 🙄

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@KnockahomaNTN I've had this nagging thought all along that the Tigers brass were high-fiving themselves once seeing Boras' $32m number, as they thought 'of course we can argue he's worth under $25.5m'... Probably expected a midpoint of $21-22m. [I think they were delusional and will lose]

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@KnockahomaNTN @BravesStats And Giolito :)

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@KnockahomaNTN If he'd take 5x$30m (the mlbtraderumors number), I think I'd have to bite that apple.

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

Once again, Boggy (@KnockahomaNTN) is rightly keeping me honest -- he pointed out an error in my calendar of events, and that has now been corrected. (Spoiler: it's still really expensive to sign an expensive pitcher!)

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

How much would it _really_ cost the Atlanta Braves if they were to sign Gallen or Valdez? (spoiler: much more than you might think). https://t.co/b8jzHD2BHP

SOURCE: The #Dodgers strongly pushing for All-Star Freddy Peralta on trade market. The talks are becoming increasingly intense.

@RhubarbBrown @mlbbowman Are you getting disproportionately repetitive ads for Honda Ridgelines, too?

[AlanCarpenter⚾ @carpengui]

@KnockahomaNTN The way this is going, that could be on the low end. :/ 😲
