Lousy Braves
The Braves should be ashamed with how they handled the beginning of the game last night. Letting Mick Abel warm up completely, exchange lineup cards and then deciding to put the game in a rain delay is ridiculous. There is no way they didn’t know that the game was going to need to start late and should have informed the Phillies of it. Just some bush league stuff.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Keaton Anthony was involved in a betting probe that prevented him from being drafted. Now, he’s a phone call away from the majors ($).
- At the halfway point, the team still has some issues, including one that has the potential to get worse ($).
MLB news:
- Griffin Canning suffered what the team believes is an Achilles injury. They got the news they feared: a ruptured Achilles.
- Ron Washington will not manage again this season, being put on medical leave for the remainder of the games.
- Cal Raleigh will join Ronald Acuna, Jr. as the known participants in the Home Run Derby so far.
