So I think the one thing that might be good for the Braves tonight (though, it could also be disastrous) is that the weatherman says it’s supposed to rain -- scattered t-storms. (Actually, from 1 to 4 they are isolated t-storms, then from 4 to the end of the night they are scattered t-storms -- someone has to explain to me the difference… isolated and scattered, same same.)

A rain out could be just the thing the Braves need to recharge their bullpen, but a rainout in, say the third inning that last a while, could mean the bullpen has to work extra long again tonight. We’ll have to keep a close eye on the weather and see if this game will actually be played.

Mr. Glass was officially placed on the 15-day disabled list and the sometimes combustible Jo-Jo Reyes was recalled from Richmond to serve as the mop-up man long reliever.

Game Time: 7:30 pm on
