People in Atlanta are dumb.

 

I've found that's generally true of many parts of the country.

Rich Hill is the first Cubs pitcher to go 3-0 in his first three starts with an ERA as low as 0.41 since Phil Douglas went 3-0 with a 0.33 ERA in 1918. He finished 10-9 with a 2.13 ERA.

Braves infielder Willy Aybar still hasn't turned up after failing to report to New York for a scheduled meeting with MLB officials on Friday, according to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

 

After missing a scheduled medical evaluation with league officials Thursday -- when the 24-year-old utility infielder reportedly overslept -- Aybar's agent and acting spokesman, Luis Valdez, told MLB officials his client would report the following day in place of the absence.

 

Aybar remained at-large by the end of Friday's business day, and hadn't made any attempts to get in touch with anyone concerned, the Journal-Constitution reported.

It's been reported that he has a substance abuse problem and wasn't comfortable to tell any of his teammates, so no one in the org knew what was going on.
