Quit trying to make excuses for Ian Happ and Seyia Suzuki. They’re terrible baseball players.

They consistently give gold gloves to scrubs, good to see you have included the reverse DEI in your approach
Braves RHP Smith-Shawver to IL after hurting oblique in debut
The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver on the 15-day injured list Friday with a strained left oblique muscle.
Smith-Shawver, 21, made his major league debut Thursday and struck out four batters over 4⅓ scoreless innings against the Chicago Cubs. He gave up three hits and two walks before exiting the Braves' 3-0 win.
Must be something in the water at Wrigley?
I'd be okay with PCA coming back up, Bellinger going to 1B, and Busch taking a few days in AAA. That's about the only way they can change things up offensively right now unless Happ gets injured, or they trade for a catcher.
Oh shit PCA is in Iowa? I should walk over to Principal tomorrow and catch a game.
Counsell is really reticent to use his "A" bullpen guys if his team is behind. He doesn't mind "punting" games early in the year if it means his main guys will be well rested for the next few games.
I'm not sure saying he was almost hit is accurate. One pitch behind him and one over his head is a bit suspicious coming from a guy with that much MLB experience. Why he'd throw at PCA, I don't know except maybe he's an old school red ass, or maybe something happened previously. BS the ump didn't have the nuts to give a warning after the pitch over PCA's head.
Mother nature prohibited us from listening to Joe Buck on the call last night
So for that, I’m appreciative

Instead we are being treated to a bromance with Adam Wainwright. I’m not sure this is better than Buck.
Hopefully you’ll get to see a game. Seeing the outfielders in Des Moines is worth it. PCA, ONKC, and Alexander Canario, who just needs catchier initials.
First in-game lead in over week, not including their 2 walk off wins last home stand.Cubs smashing balls?
He also was widely reported as being completely against going to the bullpen with the Cubs. It was later, after drinking his way through Chicago, that he opened up to going to the pen.
He’s definitely two different pitchers based on that pitch. Without the split, he’s a fringe major leaguer who has had trouble sticking in the bigs. With the split, he’s an elite bullpen weapon that can be deployed against all handedness.
Looks like it might get rained out again. Lots of storms in the area plus there's a tornado watch until 11pm.
