Whit getting his 500th hit and being driven in by Lopez's 1st was something. Duffy didn't have the best start, but Barlow continues to be amazing in relief (2 perfect IP with 2 Ks while working around 2 inherited runners). Soler is starting to heat up while Whit, Mondesi, Dozier and Gordon continue contributing. Good stuff!
There are things to be positive around just as there is plenty to be negative about with the team. Offense actually has not been that bad at all except the albatross that is the bottom of the order. Pitching needs a lot of work, but bullpen is settling down with Kennedy, Diekman and Barlow pitching well. There are plenty, plenty of negatives on the team, but some positive signs I like are there. Royals are not a good team, but there are players to like on the team.
Austin Riley is flying in to Atlanta. He hasn't been officially "called up" yet as the Braves are waiting to see if Inciarte's injury will land him on the IL, according to Dave O'Brien.
Edit: Mark Bowman says its a done deal
It's Gleyber day.
again, how many walk off hits does austin have against the rockies on may 15?
If only the rest of the team was on the same page.
That Archer trade is starting to sting more and more. I think he's going to be serviceable for us, as like a solid 3-4 pitcher, but that's not worth what we gave up.

Starting to? TB totally fleeced the Pirates on that trade. Glasnow and Meadows are under control for 5 and 6 years, respectively.
2nd time this season Broxton strikes out with the bases loaded down 1 to end the game. This dude is trash, get rid of him and call up Gomez.
A's bordering on animal cruelty today. Tigers being abused everywhere
