Atlanta Braves Fan and Co Owner President Jimmy Carter Happy 100th Birthday

Atlanta Braves pitching depth took another hit with Cy Young award nominee Chris Sale ruled out of the wild card series vs San Diego Padres with back spams - The triple crown winner ( 18 wins / 225 k's / 2.38 ERA) is also in doubt for the Division series should the Braves get that far.

21 yo AAA Gwinnett Striper Pitcher AJ Smith - Shawyer was added to the squad and started game 1 - taken out after 1.1 innings - giving up 4 hits and 3 runs including a 2 run home run in the Braves 4-0 loss to the Padres.

The Braves struggles with the batting continues - out hit the Padres 7 to 5 -left 7 runners on base - 15 batters K'd
