Three games starting Tuesday vs. the Giants.
And....
Paul Byrd is back, for the entire home stand!
(So you can stop asking me 'where's Byrdie been?')

- Really, really hoping MLB decides to eliminate the pitch clock in the 9th inning of close games (within 3 runs for me). The clock has been necessary and terrific, we just don't need to rush these moments. Every pitch here would have been a clear violation.
00:00 - I asked my youngest son to use my first ever MLB bat in what could be his final travel ball game last night. "How old is this thing?" - 30 years "What kind of wood is this?" - Ash "The barrel is super small?" - I know "Ok, I might use it once." - He used it twice
00:00 - Happy Anniversary to my wife. 4 years ago she said something to my then 12yo son that turned out to be more popular than anything I have ever posted on social media. Also, she wasn't lying. 📽️
00:00 - Players of the game: 1. Wiley Ballard 2. Grant Holmes 3. Austin Riley Y’all crushed it on X tonight. Your comments were hilarious
- Talked to Brandon today, was good to catch up after the All-Star break. Thought it was strange when he told me the Braves were off tonight and that he was just going to stay in tonight by himself. You can imagine how I felt when I turned my TV and saw this...
- Highlight of the night: Drake Baldwin’s natural reaction to the Matt Olson amazing sliding grab.
00:00 - Just a guess, but I bet GA Tech's starter today is a Spencer Strider fan.
- Me at 10PM last night to my wife, "I am physically and mentally exhausted from the past 48 hours, I am sleeping until noon tomorrow." Me at 5:30 this morning scouring the internet, "Who is starting Game 1 for the Braves tonight?" (No seriously who? Do you know?)
- A huge thank you to Rangers fans and the Texas @Rangers organization for an amazing 7 seasons. This was a really difficult decision, but one based on family.
- NO MATT OLSON IN THE SWING OFF?!? HE WAS ON DECK!! FAIL! Good gracious!
