The other thing is I just saw the National Hurricane Center has upped their forecast for this thing to be a Cat 4 at landfall. Obviously won't be near that in Atlanta but this is going to be a nasty storm. Hopefully we can even play on Friday.

I don't think we entirely know yet, but the Braves vs Mets is postponed the next two days because of the hurricane.

What's 100% true is the Braves were about to use their best 2 starters against the Mets and now those games are moved to Monday for a doubleheader. The Braves are on the outside looking in just behind the Mets and Dbacks.

Who knows if Atlanta throws their best pitchers at us or save them for the potential doubleheader. What we do know is we need the Dbacks to win tonight to put pressure on the Braves and Mets. The more the Dbacks win it forces the Mets and Braves to play hard while possibly saving something for a Monday doubleheader that would decide playoff teams.

Especially if Atlanta gets postponed the next 2 nights. According to radar, it's already raining cats and dogs there, and that's just the normal front moving thru.

Crazy talk here, but are there any chances of moving the Atlanta games to KC?

one could surmise that the braves think they can beat the royals (and their light lineup) with their lesser starters..........? :hmmm:

No. The storm will basically be through there by Friday night. The only issue may be can the Royals get to Atlanta tomorrow, which would be the same issue the Braves would have potentially getting to KC. Unless they made that decision today, which they aren’t gonna do.

Lets just sweep Washington and hope the Fish do the same to the Twinkies. Stress free weekend in A-Town then.

Possible, but probably not likely.

I would be somewhat surprised if they don’t pitch Sale and Fried. There is a theoretical world where the Braves could lose a series to us and if the Mets take care of business vs a nothing to play for Brewers team, the Braves could be out of it by Monday. This would also include the Dbacks stopping their meltdown. The good news is that we will have Lugo and Ragans on Saturday and Sunday so we could maybe get a close or tied game long enough to get into bullpen which becomes more of a crap shoot. Also, he’s good but Fried has not been usual Fried this year. Sale we have almost no chance of getting to and we have Singer on the mound (assuming the Braves do pitch Sale Friday) in an important game on the road. I’d set his IP over/under at 3.5

We’re winning the whole ****ing thing

Very unlikely. And I hope not, have tickets to Saturday's game.

In AAA, Nick Pratto hit a walkoff sac fly in the 10th to win the game for Omaha tonight in the International League Championship series. It's tied at 1-1 and they play a final game tomorrow for the league title.

Soto preceding Witt in the order is the best way to generate runs, imo. Highest obp followed by most xbh equals runs. He also lengthens the lineup and allows the royals to identify a righty leadoff bat. That's a much tougher lineup than whatever is happening now.

RHB leadoff
Soto
Witt
Vinny
Salvy/Fermin
Massey
Garcia
Melendez/Renfroe platoon
Isbel

Juan Soto? It isn't even worth talking about. We arent able to pay another big time player
