I say we give Alex Anthopoulos a big warm welcome back and then force him to leave town with Troy Tulowitski - or at least that contract.

Atlanta Braves 42-29 vs Toronto Blue Jay 33-38

Jun 19, 7:07 PM EDT
ATL: Mike Soroka (2-1, 2.57 ERA)
TOR: Jaime García (2-5, 5.71 ERA)

June 20, 12:37 PM EDT
ATL: Aníbal Sánchez (3-0, 1.93 ERA)
TOR: J.A. Happ (8-3, 3.48 ERA)

(I hope Wednesday's game isn't one of those Facebook monstrosities)

what a roller coaster of a ride.. won 4 straight again Boston, went to Tampa and lost 3, just won 3 against Washington, now we are going to lose 2 against Atlanta.

I thought Mike Sirotka retired years ago.

Interesting fact about Soroko: he pitched 143 innings as an 18 year-old in A ball. That's a lot of innings - certainly goes against the grain of what a lot of teams are doing with their young arms.

Yeah, Garcia sucks. His terrible line with the Yanks last year wasn't a fluke.

Garcia blows. I hope when Stroman is back they give the spot to Givagglio. I'd rather have him in the rotation then Garcia.

Ha, after the Star was jiggling itself following the three game sweep, writing about... a .... winning streak, team has turned the corner, Jaime Garcia restores reality.

What's this Facebook BS for the game tomorrow. You got to be kidding me.. Zuck can suck it!

So_Fresh · Post #16 » by **So_Fresh** » Wed Jun 20, 2018 12:11 am

Garcia blows. Get him out of this game. I don't want to see him pitch another game with this team. He sucks!
