The Atlanta Braves Spooky Morning Chop
Pumpkin Carving Contest Finalists
A couple of days ago, this tweet came across my timeline from the official Atlanta Braves account:
One of the contest finalists is pictured above… you can see the rest at this WSB-TV link. Not sure if this one came in too late to be a “finalist”, but it’s impressive, for sure:

Chipper Approves
Speaking of the somewhat-retired Chipper Jones: in between hunting and snake pictures on his timeline, we noted this yesterday as well:
Nice to see a positive weigh-in on new hitting coach Kevin Seitzer from somebody who obviously has a clue or two about hitting.

Yesterday the Peoria Javelinas (7-12-2) went down to defeat 4-1 to the Glendale Desert Dogs. The only position player belonging to the Braves that played was
Daniel Castro, who hit for his requisite 1-for-4 (.233), that hit being a double. He then scored the lone Javelinas run.
Both Ryne Harper and Nate Hyatt pitched in the game: Harper for 2 innings and Hyatt for 1. They combined for 4 strikeouts, no walks, and no hits. Harper has now pushed his ERA under 5.00 and Hyatt’s is all the way down to 1.29 as he continues to crank out solid innings.
