I'll set the over/under on how many times Walker says "Brownie" at 25.

[Possum]

Reynolds saves Gonzales butt from further damage.

[Surgnbuck]

Jordan Luplow and Philip Evans playing for the mighty Braves? How'd we let those two studs get away?

[Bobster]

Nope, Haines is making an even worse hitter out of Grandall.

[Possum]

3 Ks in the inning. Oliveras earns a strike with a pitch clock violation.

I'm gone. See you later.
