soooo…what are the chances of the next 2 games being postponed?
impressive opening series victory. Michael Harris II is carrying us right now
Have the diamondbacks had a postponed game during the year?? As usually that half game
Is no longer around this year??
Is it possible the Diamondbacks have a Monday potential make up game??

Comment for the boys! Good win
Nice game today led in part by Schwellenbach, the offense looked much better than we've gotten to see from them any time recently. Thanks guys. GO BRAVES ⚾
WERE NOT DONE!👽🛸
In a way I think there's maybe some benefit in confirming Riley is out for the season. Trying to bring him back in the middle of the post season of we got there probably wouldn't be a great idea, and it lets Urshela focus on just playing his best. I'm sure he would tell you he wasn't worried about Riley coming back but I'm sure in the back of his mind it was something he was aware of that he was fighting for someone else's postseason opportunity, and that no matter how good he played fans were eagerly waiting for him to be replaced. Now he knows for sure that's his job for however many games we have left in the season and he can just focus on doing it to the best of his ability.
Good evening Jake and Grant:
What a game !! It was exciting and fun to watch . Schwellenbach was tremendous to go 7 innings and Jimenez and Iggy were awesome!
Harris is on fire and getting on base , hitting HR plus playing incredible defense. Offense is showing life and getting hits to score. We have waited all season for this. And it is worth it. Need to follow up Wednesday e we it’s another sin. My g c concern is weather related. Hopefully, we can get the game in.
Someone gotta stop chris sale kets see wat happens today
Of course they will play today the Storm isnt coming until Thursday evening
SS has pitched better than his record! Great Game……Go Bravos!!!!
Schwellenbach was on point, pitched an incredible game, giving up 1 home run, and you could see he wasn’t happy about that but kept on getting it done.
I’ve been hard on these Braves all year,Especially MH2.$ Mike is in the zone and the offense is starting to get that hit w RISP.If they get in I think they could shock the world.
Grant please stop with the long soliloquies and have more balance with the cohost
