Atlanta, GA

FanSided

Stop me if you've heard this before, a terrible display of MLB umpiring directly effected an important baseball game last night. The Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers were trading heavy blows in the closely contested game yesterday, but all fans (and the Braves broadcast booth) could talk about was the poor job done behind the dish.

Since being traded, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Austin Hays has solidified his role as an everyday starter. Initially, it was anticipated that Hays would platoon with Brandon Marsh in left field. However, a day after the trade, Phillies manager Rob Thomson indicated Hays would be the starting left fielder. So far Marsh has been primarily playing center field instead of platooning with Johan Rojas. Nick Castellanos being in right field most days has been the most stable part of the Phillies outfield this season. A Hays-Marsh-Castellanos outfield going from left to right will be the standard alignment.

The Atlanta Braves have been piecing together their starting rotation all season long, but they are struggling quite a bit to find guys who can consistently deliver for them when it's their turn to take the mound. On Tuesday night, Bryce Elder got the ball, but he got rocked by the Milwaukee Brewers (3.2 IP, 8 H, 7 ER, 6 K, 2 BB), resulting in a demoralizing 10-0 defeat for the Braves.

Lately it feels like every one of these takeaway articles mentions the Atlanta Braves hitting rock bottom. If this isn’t it, then the rest of this season isn’t going to be much fun. You probably would need to go back to 2016 or 2017 to find a stretch where the Braves have played this poorly. You would need to go back to 2014 to find a stretch (and season) so disastrous to the franchise as a whole. The pitching staff has carried the team and kept them in contention since the start of May. This three-game series is a glimpse of what things would look like should the pitching falter.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

The NHL offseason is in probably its quietest time of the year. The big free agency splash has concluded and most teams have secured what will likely be extremely close to their starting lineup come October. But with that said, various teams are still looking to fine-tune and establish their squads. This includes signing some pretty big-named RFAs. The Carolina Hurricanes are in that exact position. With all of their other notable RFAs signed including Martin Necas and Jack Drury, all focus is now on their only remaining one. This edition of NHL Rumours looks at updates on Seth Jarvis signing with Carolina.
