The Braves are already down starting depth with Felix Hernandez opting out and Hamels’ status in limbo. From an on-field standpoint, it derailed Toussaint’s chance at making the initial roster. He’s one of several younger pitchers who could factor into the Braves’ new plans, which include piggybacking pitchers – a strategy that benefits from a larger quantity.“I thought he had a great spring training,” Snitker said. “He wanted to play on Sunday but he didn’t so hopefully he’ll be really good on Thursday. They’re prepping for a more serious intrasquad game on Monday, which is 11 days before opening day.“I don’t have any doubt that the pitchers are going to be stretched out to where we anticipated they would be,” Snitker said. Lefty Max Fried, who won a team-best 17 games in his first full season, worked out of the pen in all four NLDS games last year but could start any of the games. The way guys are hitting them out now, every time the ball goes into the air, you think it’s got a chance.” The Braves won’t be at full strength this October. Posey had missed camp in recent days while contemplating his decision.Posey, a South Georgia native, is the latest accomplished veteran to decide against playing. He allowed all three New York runs in the third inning. We did a good job of keeping things together, keeping our heads above water.” Soroka, slated for Game 3, could return in relief in Game 5, Snitker said, but the manager is not sure whether he will use three or four starters. “I had no idea Carole King was responsible for so many hit songs,” said the Atlanta Braves manager, who saw the show in New York during an off-day last week.
I loved where he was in spring training.

The Leesburg native was the 2012 National League MVP.Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies addresses the team's preparations and protocols getting ready for the 2020 shortened season. He could also serve as the designated hitter.-- Snitker didn’t know if left-hander Will Smith has been throwing while away from camp. Brian Snitker, the catcher on that Macon team, found his life’s calling in baseball.
During his daily media briefing, Snitker said he’s pleased with the team’s progress through seven days. With their second straight NL East crown, the Atlanta Braves got more wins and more confidence entering postseason play, says manager Brian Snitker. We need it.”-- Albies addressed reporters for the first time since camp opened. They haven’t won a postseason series since 2001 or a pennant since 1999 but Snitker insists his charges are ready. Chances are veteran lefthander Dallas Keuchel, a sinkerballer with World Series experience, will open the series Thursday at Sun Trust Park, followed by Mike Foltynewicz in the second game. He went back and got himself together. I thought they all – they’re starting to mature, figure things out, where they were physically and mentally. Regardless if Tomlin and/or Wright start, they’ll need to be stretched out. They are fine table-setters for Freeman and cleanup man Josh Donaldson; Acuna led the league in runs while Albies finished first in hits. “You need to strike earlier and take advantage of your situation since you have off-days on the back end.”I'm a former Associated Press sportswriter whose journalism career began in 1969 after graduating from Syracuse University with B.A. The Braves need both to cover innings, especially at the beginning.-- Slugging third baseman Austin Riley has picked up where he left off in spring, according to Snitker.“He’s looked good,” Snitker said. He was more impressive than any of the Atlanta starters in his final regular-season outing.
I like where he’s at.”When asked about the third-base situation with Riley and Johan Camargo, Snitker said the Braves are in “pretty good shape” with the two. He’s had a couple really nice takes here. The Braves have had two -- Hernandez, whose agent cited concerns around the coronavirus, and outfielder Nick Markakis, who cited a plethora of reasons, including empty stadiums, health protocols interfering with his preparation and a desire to spend time with his family.Posey, 33, is a six-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion. He’s asymptomatic.“When he gets here, we’ll see where he’s at when he gets on the mound for the first time,” Snitker said.-- Young right-hander Touki Toussaint was among the Braves to test positive for COVID-19. The Baby Braves surprised by jumping from 90 losses to 90 wins last year and kept their crown with 97 wins, second in the National League only to the Los Angeles Dodgers, in 2019. This week’s retirements of Bruce Bochy and Ned Yost plus the firing of Joe Maddon make Snitker the oldest manager in the major leagues but he’s clearly enjoying the Fountain of Youth he discovered in Atlanta.

If Hamels isn’t ready, it might indeed shift Tomlin or Wright into a starting role.The Braves plan to piggyback starters early, meaning a starter might only log three innings in his first outing. “Ronald feels good,” Snitker reported. “We started a lot of young guys who didn’t have a lot of innings behind them in that first series. I loved the takes as much as anything. Brian Snitker stood off to the side of the Atlanta Braves dugout, not wanting to get in the way. We’re a little farther along than where I thought we would be when we started.”“It’ll be fun,” second baseball Ozzie Albies said. I saw that last year,” he said. They know what they can do and what they’re capable of.” ATLANTA, GA - SEPTEMBER 20: Ronald Acuna Jr. #13 of the Atlanta Braves reacts after hitting a home Health should be a key factor, with leadoff man Ronald Acuna Jr. returning from a mild groin pull and fellow slugger Freddie Freeman fighting a sore elbow that might need surgical repair this winter.
