Who is in CF? Tucker or McCormick? If it were Chas, Dusty should resign. What if it was Siri? |

It is pretty safe to say that Yordan will be in LF, Tucker in CF, and Brantley RF. Our offense will be even more crippled because Dusty will refuse to start Castro behind the plate which gives us two automatic outs at the bottom of the lineup in Maldonado and Garcia. The Braves are throwing a right-hander that Castro would match up pretty well against, but, he will sit while Maldonado either K's, hits into a DP, or clogs up the bases. No legitimate excuse for not starting Castro, but, Dusty never changes anything so we know what to expect.

Diversity rules in today's baseball! The hell with playing the best player for that game at any given position. Now I think Alverez should start even though his fielding is suspected his bat is superior to the rest of the people who can start where is playing. With Castro he might be a slightly less defense but once again his bat is superior.

Jordan is 5X the athlete, so i got to fully agree with you |

NWS Forecast tonight in Atlanta: This Afternoon Showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 57. Southwest wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Tonight A 40 percent chance of showers, mainly before 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 49. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 15 mph. ======================================================================================================
From my vantage point, looking at the radar, it appears we might have a wet start at the game. The complex of moderate rain is right on them right now, and based on time extrapolation it looks like it should move out at about game time, or soon afterwards.
Afterwards it looks like there will be some banding around a low centered over NE Tenn and SW Ky that will give periodic lines of light to moderate rain. I hope we are able to get the game in tonight.
As far as rain delay starts and stops, in some respect I think it favors us, based on our deeper bullpen (or per PETA's request Arm Barn  )

I hope the first seven in the lineup get it done. I hope the whole nine. Damn straight. CF and C don’t need to hit for the team to be successful, but doing jack shit won’t help because then you’ll have an inning’s worth of free outs at the bottom of the order. |

Local Atlanta weather casters making it sound like the showers will be light and should move out by 8 PM. So worst case would likely be a 30-60 minute delay to the start of the game, likely nothing once it gets underway.

So worst case would likely be a 30-60 minute delay to the start of the game, likely nothing once it gets underway. Looking at the current radar, (see above), there is about a 100 by 50 mile complex of rain in North Cental Alabama that is wrapping around its low to the north east and seems to be aiming at Atlanta. Of course, it could disipate, and I guess these ATL mets know what they are talking about. |

Playing on a wet field is asking for injuries. |

Watching the lineup announcement and Jose, Bregman, and Yuli were booed pretty audibly. LOL don’t they know we play better when we are jeered and booed?!

Strike early and strike often, Offense. Let's hope the outfield trio can handle it, and Garcia keeps the ball in the infield. |
