Are we sure they didn’t mean ERA inflammation?
Oh good THEY PROTECTED THE YONNY CHIRINOS ASSET with a fake IR move. Now i can go about my dayZ
A blessing from the lord! God be praised!
can we DFA elbows?
lol i am honestly surprised there is no MLB panel that reviews manipulative suspicious IL assignments like this… dudes out of options, pitching terribly, didnt leave a game hurt and just mysteriously gets an IL assignment? ok… kinda surprised the players union doesnt have a grievance with this sorta shit tbh.
With this move it’s obvious AA wants Chirinos to be the 14th guy in September. I think it means Wright and Chavez will be at best rehab pitching in AAA till playoffs (or at least until we start moving guys around in the last week of the season for the playoffs).
I genuinely hope for his sake this is a phantom IL and not an actual injury. He’s tried to help us, even if it hasn’t always gone too well.
Wonder if we stick with Winans now until callups.
I used to pray for times like this
Right.
The 21 of August is now a high holiday in braves circles.
*drops baseball bat*
Get well soon, Cheerios.
I love the old IL usage for guys that are fucking up.
Nothing to see here, just a case of contagious inflammation.
[live look](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FeistyWhirlwindGermanshepherd-mobile.mp4) at the 5th spot in our rotation
Do other teams do this? Or is it just the Braves? It’s honestly hilarious how transparently fake these IL stints are.
Finally! Winans deserves this shot. Hopefully he can continue to pitch well and stop the revolving door.
I love how we pick injuries that are hard to detect. I’m no doctor but could you xray for a muscle inflamed? 😂
AA: Yonny, what’s wrong with your elbow?
Yonny: uhh, nothing, I’m fi
AA [intently glaring]: looks inflamed…
Winans has been great so far, but I would still like to see Soroka get another shot.
Braves record in Mac Fried starts 6-3
Braves record in Yonny Chirinos starts 4-1
I rest my case /s
I’m excited for Winans. He deserves a shot, he’s been great against AAA lineups this year.
