Who hits the first Braves homer of the night? I've got Olson

Now would be good time to win their first homestand in 6 weeks.

I thought there'd be more than that

I would prefer they win as opposed to lose tonight. 

[gflore34]

Don't know why but, I'm strangely confident Imanaga will pitch well and the Cubs will win tonight.  Sure, Shota will give a couple of harmless solo shots, Cubs will win.

Imanaga at night got = recipe for homeruns. 

[Jason Ross]

Swanson is at Wrigley with this stuff. Good chance he's activated today and if not, by Friday and Murray heads back to Iowa.

[UMFan83]

Thinking about taking my kids to a final game this year tonight.  Any truth to the rumor that bleacher prices are twice as high when Imanaga is pitching?

[squally1313]

Swanson getting back here without a setback, much less ahead of schedule, seems borderline miraculous

Welcome back Dansby, you're now the new closer.

Heh, was just going to ask if he can pick up some bullpen work too.

🤣 Depends on which way the wind is blowing.

Neither are joining the club. Hollowell is here to throw BP for Swanson and Martin is rehabbing. The weather in Omaha is straight rain for a week. The season ends the 18th, so it's not like they're needed for Iowa any more.

Wow, Whitesox loss again, they went from leading Division and a 1st round bye, to 2nd place and the 3rd WC team,  only 1.5 games ahead of Texas and Toronto for that final playoff spot.

They should just have Webb throw BP to build up Swansons HR swing.
