When are we going to get some knowledgeable beat writers to cover Braves...

They just regurgitate info provided by the @Braves

[Mark Bowman @mlbbowman]

We will be publishing the Braves Inbox every Tuesday throughout the offseason. Send your questions for tomorrow’s edition.

Where is your piece of the hedge @RayTannerSC

Cannot believe you were on the field and let SC players destroy hedge...
Shows your apology was bullshit covering your ass

[Rick Henry @RickHenry10]

USC AD ⁦@RayTannerSC⁩ , Head coach ⁦@CoachWMuschamp⁩ and President Robert Caslon celebrate ⁦@GamecockFB⁩ 20-17 upset of Georgia.

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

@KirbySmartUGA your friend @willmuschamp1 is a total piece of shit...walking around with hedges...

He can kiss our red and black ass...

From McGill donor

[Ryan Bethea @RyanBethea_]

Will you accept these hedges?

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

@willmuschamp1

You are an immature piece of shit...

No longer welcome in Athens...

Seems like UGA played in SEC Champion in '11 and '12...

[Marc Ryan @MarcRyanOnAir]

One of three straight seasons THIS decade in which South Carolina finished as a better team than Georgia.

2011
SC #9
UGA #19

2012
SC #8
UGA unranked

2013
SC #4
UGA unranked

By next season, year 5 for Muschamp, Gamecock fans should expect to be at Georgia's level.

Or better.

Freddie loafed on Wing error...almost got caught...needs to look in mirror

Here's Ronald Acuña Jr. after NLDS Game 1:

Markakis lackadaisically fielded ball instead of immediately throwing ball to cutoff allowing Fowler to feel and go to third...

#Braves have worst offense in MLB for July...So Far

[Mark Bowman @mlbbowman]

Keuchel escapes after the Phillies put a pair in scoring position w/ one out in the sixth.
Through 4 IP: 4 of 13 balls in play against him were hit on the ground
Past 2 IP: 7 of 8 have been hit on the ground.

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

Left with bases loaded...bullpen saved him

[Grant McAuley @grantmcauley]

#Braves RHP Mike Foltynewicz in his first start back in Gwinnett:

7.2 IP, 5H, 2ER, 1BB, 8K, 0 HR

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

So that is 14?

[Seth Emerson @SethWEmerson]

Georgia Athletics has approved a budget of $153.9 million for the next fiscal year and Greg McGarity is very proud of the finances, claiming that UGA is “one of the few” departments in the country that “stands on solid ground.”

(Every SEC ath. dept. last year was in the black.)

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

But how many charged to starters came after they left the game?

#atlbraves

[Kevin McAlpin @KevinMcAlpin]

Starters have allowed 46 ER in 98 IP (4.22 ERA) following Teheran's 4.2 IP today.

Relievers have allowed 40 ER in 68.1 IP (5.27 ERA) as Cleveland bats in the bottom of the 7th.

#Braves @680TheFan

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

Look at it like this...if Kimbrall was signed by another team for 3 yr $40 mil.... would you trade a second round draft choice for him?
#gobraves

[KC Covington @Fried_Baseball]

Depending on what he wants, Kimbrel could help the Braves chances of winning East this year ... while ALSO hurting the teams chances of winning a World Series.

Because if their best chance to in a WS is after this season and the deal turns out to be a bad one, it hurts.

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

You are a WUSS...@ChipTowersDN

How many college students were in a fight in a college bar Saturday night...

I wish I had been ...

[Chip Towers Writes @TowersTakes]

Georgia coach Kirby Smart needs to cut off these team behavior issues at the pass. https://t.co/xLkE122Mp8

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

You are tweeter...nothing more...where do you respond...

[ABT @atlbaseballtalk]

Twitter is generally such a relentlessly negative place. Just another reason that makes the Braves negativity police such an interesting phenomenon this spring.

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

I do not care what you think... better off throwing darts...

[ABT @atlbaseballtalk]

This tweet's a great example of the weird negativity police the last couple of months. We've been critical of the lack of moves, 100%, but have never said the Braves are doomed. Only that more could have been done and the FO should have taken better advantage of this opportunity

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

I am so glad these guys are home...on and off the field

Braves: Dansby Swanson "ahead of schedule" in return from injury https://t.co/dKKlUyfpRK via @SportsTalkATL

Put any one else hitting 8th and the hit 25-30 points less...

That is why Dansby's numbers are better late...threat of PH...

#Braves

@FriedBasballATL

Gonzalez would make a good situational lefty out of pen...washed up as starter...

Tehran is inconsistent but his best 10 starts are way better than Gonzalez best 10

[Gene Smith @smithgene]

Nobody wants Gio...rather have Julio over him any day...

[KC Covington @Fried_Baseball]

Yeah, if they add a starter, Teheran has to go. Can't block all these young arms.

As it stands now, with a rolling 6-man rotation, 2 of those guys will get a lot of opportunities.
