Welp! The Atlanta Braves will just have to lick their wounds and move on instead of trying to take a chance at potentially salvaging this series in Chicago against the White Sox. Both teams were fortunate enough to play through a window on Wednesday night but they won’t be so lucky here on Thursday night, as the decision has been made to just call it and move the game to August 20.
Considering what the current injury situation for the Braves is looking like and how the bullpen
is currently being handled, it might end up being a good thing that this ended up being a weather-induced off-day. With that being said, this is going to make for a very, very interesting road trip later on.
That road trip through the midwest will certainly be a tricky one, as the Braves will have to play three games in Minnesota, drop down in Chicago to finish this series and then get the wheels up immediately afterwards for a quick flight to Milwaukee for two games before traveling out to Williamsport, PA for the Little League Classic that’ll finish off that Brewers series. Fortunately they’ll have the Monday off after that insane week of travel but they’ll have the Dodgers waiting for them once they’re back in action at Truist Park. Phew!
Atlanta will have to cross that bridge when they get to it. For now, the Braves will now get on a plane to New York to take on the Mets for three games. First pitch on Friday night is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET on Apple TV. Let’s see what happens then!
