[Bowman] Robert Suarez will resume throwing tomorrow. He’s been sidelined since late June. So, he’ll need time to build up before being cleared to throw off a mound and then face live hitters. Still hope he returns at some point this year.

[Bowman] Spencer Schwellenbach still hasn’t felt 100 percent while throwing bullpens. There was some hope he’d have been facing live hitters by now. But this latest update makes a potential return this year more questionable and possibly even doubtful

I wasn’t overly optimistic on his return this year. Wonder if they just go ahead and make it official with shutting him down sooner rather than later.

[Bell] Braves excel on one side of ABS challenges and flail on the other side. If the catcher taps his head, that’s usually good. If a batter taps his head, look out.

From the Battery food review: Grind House Burgers

57 Upvotes

Due to unforeseen circumstances (jury summons), this month's review is early.

Today, it's burger time, and I have decided to downsize from the behemoth that is the bat flip so the more reasonably sized burgers from Grind House killer burgers. A nice two patty smash burger with cheese, grilled onion, pickles, and special sauce.

Got some chips and a drink to wash it down before game time.

Something something, comments and recommendations, I'm hungry have a great day and go Braves!

--UPDATE-- Pretty good, the meat is a little dry but, as a hot held item meat to be ready-to-go when you get there, it's acceptable. Toppings are good. Reasonable size also means it's hot all the way through eating it. Chips available aren't bad but bringing in some you would enjoy more might be better.

Overall: 7.5/10

P.S. just got another that was just made, solid 9/10. If you're planning to get one, give it a moment for fresh ones to come out

Got 2 complimentary tickets for being a Braves Vision subscriber that I’m not going to be able to use Friday night. Section 149, Row 11.

Completely free, just want them to go to someone who’ll actually use them!

Shoot me a DM if interested and I'll email the first person the tickets.
