Braves Team Report Page 1 of 1 Braves Team Report Page 1 of 1 Braves Team Report RHP Jaret Wright is pitching better than ever because he finally has become a pitcher and not simply a thrower. He has developed a good changeup that makes his lively fastball even more effective, but the key to his success is locating his sinker. LF Charles Thomas has established himself in a platoon with Eli Marrero, a role once pegged for Dewayne Wise. The team is committed to Thomas, who has a higher offensive ceiling, and sent Wise back to the minors when he came off the D.L. IF Mark DeRosa likely will be a utility player as long as he is with the team, but Nick Green´s emergence clouds his future. Green is a younger and cheaper option. SEE A DIFFERENT GAME: RHPs John Smoltz and Paul Byrd have both used a hyperbaric chamber to help keep their surgically repaired elbows healthy. When at home, Smoltz often sleeps with his arm in the chamber, which helps heal injured tissue. He also has a chamber at Turner Field, which Byrd uses before starts and after throwing sessions. Both claim the chamber enables them to recover more quickly. Ask The Bookie recommends the following sportsbooks Platinum SB - Reduced Juice lay 105 on NFL sides & Totals 10% Cash Bonus....

  • Weekly Notes 083117
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 2017 KINGS OF K’S On Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, six-time All-Star Chris Sale registered the 1,500th strikeout of his Major League career. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Sale reached the milestone in his 1,290th career inning, the fewest numbers of innings needed for any pitcher in Major League history. Kerry Wood was the next fastest, accomplishing the feat over 1,303 innings of work, followed by Hall of Famers Pedro Martinez (1,337 IP), Randy Johnson (1,365.2 IP) and Nolan Ryan (1,384.2 IP). In addition, the dominant left-hander has logged 264 punchouts across 27 starts in his fi rst season with the Red Sox. Per Elias, only four other pitchers in MLB history have logged that many strikeouts in their fi rst season with a Club. Johnson holds the record, having recorded 364 strikeouts in his premier season with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1999, trailed by Ryan (301), Roger Clemens (292), and Max Scherzer (276). The table below details each ace’s historical season with his new Club. Washington’s Scherzer made history Monday night after tallying 10 punchouts across 7.0 innings pitched against the Miami Marlins. With the outing, Scherzer joined Sale as the eighth hurler in MLB history to log at least 230 strikeouts over his fi rst 25 starts of a season. Sale, who accomplished the feat following his start on August 19th, notched 250 punchouts over his fi rst 25 outings. Across MLB history, six other pitchers have tallied that many strikeouts though their fi rst 25 outings of a season: Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax (1965) and Ryan (1973, 77, 89); Clemens (1988), Hall of Famers Johnson (1995, 97-2001) and Marinez (1997, 99, 2000), as well as Curt Schilling (2002).

  • Sloan Sponsors “Off the Mound with Ryan Dempster” Marquee Sports
    Sloan Sponsors “Off The Mound with Ryan Dempster” Marquee Sports Network Airing Weekly Late Night-style Talk Show with MLB Stars and Celebrities FRANKLIN PARK, IL (May 14, 2020) – Sloan, the world’s leading manufacturer of commercial plumbing systems, is the proud presenting sponsor of “Off The Mound with Ryan Dempster” (OTM), a weekly television show on Marquee Sports Network that features interviews with MLB stars, actors, musicians, and comedians. The 30-minute show made its season debut on Friday, April 13. Upcoming episodes air each Friday at 8 p.m. CST. OTM is a late-night style talk show hosted by Dempster, a 16-year MLB veteran, World Series champion, and former Chicago Cubs pitcher from 2004-2012. Known throughout his baseball career as a skilled impressionist and stand-up comedian, upon retirement, Dempster began taking improv classes and writing sketches for appearances on MLB Network before developing the concept for OTM. “As the Official Water Efficiency Partner of the Chicago Cubs, the team at Sloan has had a front row seat for much of Ryan’s big-league career, while also getting to know him on a personal level,” said Graham Allen, Sloan co-president and CEO. “Ryan is an excellent entertainer, so when Sloan was presented with this opportunity, we knew we had to be a part of the project.” “Sloan has supported ‘Off The Mound’ since it began as a live event in Chicago in 2018, and together we have been able to raise money for multiple charities and give back to the great community that we serve,” Dempster added.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Braves.com Gonzalez dismissed as manager of Braves Snitker promoted from Triple-A to be interim skipper By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | 12:24 AM ET PITTSBURGH -- Experiencing their worst start to a season in more than 100 years, the Braves made their first in-season managerial change in more than a quarter century on Tuesday, relieving Fredi Gonzalez of his duties and elevating Triple-A Gwinnett manager Brian Snitker to interim manager. "As we got into Spring Training and opened the season with the bad start, we wanted to keep providing opportunities to see if we could turn this thing around," Braves president of baseball operations John Hart said before Atlanta's 12-9 loss on Tuesday. "It obviously didn't look like it was going to happen. [Braves general manager John Coppolella] and I started talking about this four or five days ago and saying, 'How much longer do you want to wait?'" The Braves initially discussed dismissing Gonzalez during their 0-9 start to the season and again during an eight-game losing streak during the latter part of April. Hart and Coppolella opted to hold off while accounting for Ender Inciarte's month-long stint on the disabled list and the reality that many of their offseason roster decisions had not gone according to plan and left Gonzalez with a flawed roster. "This isn't Fredi's fault," Coppolella said. "If you really want to have it laid at anyone's hands, it can be at mine and at [Hart's].
