Okay. It was a good week for the Braves as they won five of seven games against the Padres and the horrible league’s worst Marlins. They are 6-4 in their last ten and only stand 1.5 games out of the lead in what has been an underwhelming National League East so far. Right now they are in Los Angeles playing a good Dodger team. After this rough series, they will go to Arizona to play a much better than expected Diamondbacks team. The D’Backs swept the Braves in Atlanta in April.
The highlight of the week was Friday night against the Marlins. It was the re-match against Jose Urena. You remember Urena, right? He beamed Acuna last year and hurt his wrist. I had a feeling that something was going to happen back at him. Sure enough, Braves starter Kevin Gausman threw a pitch behind Urena, but it missed him.
It was considered to be on purpose and I do feel like it was, so Gausman and manager Brian Snitker were both ejected from the game. The Braves won as Touki Toussaint pitched four really good innings out of the bullpen. Touki was brought up Friday “just in case he was needed” and headed back to AAA on Saturday. I am sure the Braves will be heavily fined and I am sure Gausman will be suspended by the league this week. Hear me out before being critical of my upcoming statements. I know the Braves are only 1.5 games out of first place going into Monday’s play, but I do not see the East staying at this level and frankly, I think this is the kind of team the Braves are going to be this season. The bullpen is a mess and honestly I don’t see Kimbrel coming in to save the day. This team will score some runs but I don’t think the pitching will hold up over 162 games. An 85-win season is probably the best they can do and I don’t think when the dust settles that they will make the playoffs.
There are six players that are my personal key to look at for the 2019 season. Let’s start with the offense. The trio of Albies, Acuna and Swanson are important to this team. Of course Acuna and Albies signed cheap long-term deals. They both are real streaky but if they stay healthy, things will be fine for many years to come. The third is Swanson. He is leading the club in RBI’s with 25. His defense is very good so if he can hold his own at the plate, things should be just fine. I didn’t mention Freeman because we know what he is going to do. It looks like help is on the way but more on that a little later.
Now for the pitchers. The most important to me are Fried, Soroka and Toussaint. I know Touki is in AAA but if Fried and Soroka can keep the pace up, those could be a great one-two punch. Personally, I would rather see Touki stay in the majors but that is my take and his upside may be higher than the rest.
I said earlier that help is on the way. Here is the report from the farm. The hottest by far is third baseman, Austin Riley at AAA Gwinnett. He has ten homers in just 113 at bats. He hit four this week including a 492-foot shot. He is also hitting .301 on the year. The problem is that I do not see any big club play for him soon. Josh Donaldson will be the third baseman unless he is injured. Another player that needs a chance is Cristian Pache. He is a 20-year-old centerfielder. He is hitting .300 on the year. The big deal about him is his glove. Many consider him the best outfielder period. I know Inciarte is a golden glove outfielder but his bat is not an asset. I would love to see him in center in the 2020 season.
The one arm I would like to see get a shot maybe next year is 21 year old right-hander Ian Anderson. He is at AA Mississippi. He needs to work on his control just a little and maybe a chance to the 2020 rotation.
I am sticking to my predictions on the 2019 team not making the post season. If the organization can get some financial help, the future can be real bright for years to come!

Dear editor,
As a voracious reader of many newspapers, local mail outs and books, I came across one such article in a liberal newspaper as if that’s not a surprise anymore, I digress. The article I thought finally got it right. “Existing gun laws can stop many deaths”. The article acknowledges that many of the most notorious crimes, if not all, could have been prevented by simply diligently enforcing existing laws. However, the liberal/socialist /”demo-rats”, as I label them, fangs came out in the first two sentences of the last paragraph...”and some new laws are needed. Universal background checks, limits on ammunition clip size and safe-storage laws in homes with children...”
As a retired military and law enforcement officer both city and county deputy, 35 years, I think I can speak with some authority on the bottom feeders, otherwise known as “criminals” fallacy of universal background checks. Criminals don’t bother with laws, they’re not going to fill out a background check. Worse yet those checks create a database that the demo-rats can use to implement their true goal-seizure of total power. They have their sights set on your guns. Pun very much intended. 
Fallacy of limit size of clips: criminals will simply carry more clips.
Fallacy of more safe-storage laws: the problem is not more safe storage laws, as adequate laws already exist. The problem is human nature. Irresponsible gun owners don’t comply with those laws. What good is maintaining a weapon for self-defense purposes if it’s not readily available? Imagine a law abiding gun owner politely asking the criminal to “hold on a minute, let me get my gun and load it, ok”. “Sure” as the criminal says.
Come on people, use some dog gone common sense and by all means, go vote and send those dregs of society “demo-rat” politicians back to manual labor. 
TSGT. Joseph L Bryan, U.S.A.F. Ret.

The key constituency on election day: nonvoters.
“On the way to the bank, political consultants walk by 35 million voters.”
Peter B. Gemma on PeterBGemma.com
Leftwing wacko A.O. Cortez won the Demoleft Primary in 2018 for a Bronx, N.Y. congressional seat with only a 12% turnout. Only 28,000 people voted while over 200,000 sat on their hands. That’s how avowed socialist AOC began her career. The lamestream left continues to destroy the much-hyped “blue wave.”
“Voters who live off taxpayers are the Democrats ‘ace in the hole’. The Democrats created big programs and never let the recipients forget it. This gives them an initial advantage of tens of millions of votes in any presidential election.”
Joseph Sobran   Sobran.com
This scares the Demo socialists to death – life tenured conservative Supreme Court and Federal Court justices. The Federal Courts are the farm team for the Supremes. President Trump is turning it around.
Next up could be Amy Barrett, nominated to the Federal Court by President Trump, only age 45, member of the conservative Federalist Society, taught at Notre Dame Law School and Joan Larson, only 49, solidly conservative, taught at U. of Michigan Law School. We used to hear about needing more women in office but they didn’t mean conservative women. Compare the great Trump appointees to the socialists foisted on us by Bill Clinton.
Is the University of Central Florida the largest college in the nation with 66,000 students?
We never hear from anyone who went to school with B.H. Obama. Maybe he was the first distance learning student.
I hated to see the AAF, the new football league, fold. I liked the concept of playing football in the off season and a lot of the innovative rules. AAF R.I.P.
We now get into foreign adventurism and never seem to get out. I blame Harry Truman for starting this insanity (Korea), Kennedy and Johnson (Vietnam) and presidents from both parties for continuing the useless foreign excursions. We’re still in Korea, almost 70 years later.

Indian baseball season ends in playoffs
By Joey Marchant
Dodge had a tough draw in the first round of the state playoffs traveling to Alma on April 24th to face the 8th ranked Bacon County Red Raiders who had a record of 21-8. Bacon had a solid lineup, good pitching and excellent defense. They were easily the best team Dodge faced this year.
Andrew Lowery took the mound for Dodge in the first game and pitched a complete game allowing just four runs on nine hits. He walked one batter and hit one batter. He struck out two. Dodge played solid defense behind Lowery.
Dodge got on the scoreboard first in the third inning when DJ Bursch walked and stole second. Garrett Durden drove in Bursch with a base hit to give Dodge a 1-0 lead.
Bacon tied it at 1-1 in the bottom of the third.
It appeared Bacon would break it open in the fourth, but Bursch got a great jump on a ball hit in the right center gap and made a diving catch for out three. At the crack of the bat, it looked like a sure double that would plate two runs. The score remained tied.
Dodge had a chance to take the lead in the fifth. Brendan O’Connor reached on an error. Durden walked, and Brodie Woodard walked to load the bases with one out. Kadin Burse hit a rocket right at the third baseman which had it been a few feet either way would have plated two runs. That did not happen. The third baseman made the catch and was able to beat O’Connor to the third base bag for the double play to end the inning.
Bacon added two runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 3-1 lead.
Dodge had another opportunity to score in the sixth as Lowery, Parker Hardin and Bursch all drew walks to load the bases with two outs. Dodge could not score. You cannot load the bases twice without scoring against a good team and expect to win.
Bacon added another run in the bottom of the sixth on a questionable balk call as Lowery attempted to pick off a runner. Bacon led 4-1.
Woodard and Burse had base hits for Dodge in the seventh bringing the tying run to the plate. Dodge ended the game by grounding into a double play falling by a score of 4-1.
Leading hitters for Dodge were Brodie Woodard who was three for three with a walk and Garrett Durden who was one for three with one run batted in (RBI).
Dodge would need to win the second game to stay alive and force a third game the next day. Parker Gay started the second game on the mound for Dodge. After struggling early, Gay settled down and showed a lot of guts the rest of the way pitching five innings allowing six runs on seven hits.Gay walked two batters and hit two batters. He struck out six.
Bacon came out on fire taking a 5-0 lead after one inning. Gay worked his way out of a bases loaded one out jam in the second by getting a ground back to the pitcher and a fly out to first base.
Gay struck out the side in the third but did allow an unearned run thanks to a walk and a Dodge error. Bacon led 6-0.
Gay did not allow a run in the fourth. Meanwhile Dodge went hitless through the first three innings. Dodge rallied in the fourth. Garrett Durden and Brodie Woodard had consecutive base hits to start the inning. Noah Mincey would later draw a walk, and DJ Bursch came to the plate with two outs. Bursch was due for the big hit Dodge so desperately needed. Bursch was averaging one homer a week over the last month. He got a belt high fastball and did not miss driving the pitch to the deepest part of the ballpark. Had he pulled the pitch to left as he had done often over the last month, it would have been another homerun. Bursch would have to settle for a bases clearing double over the head of the centerfielder driving in Durden, Woodard and Mincey. Parker Hardin singled driving in Bursch to cut the Bacon lead to 6-4.
Gay finished his high school career on a positive note sitting down the Raiders in order in the fifth. Woodard had his fifth base hit of the day in the bottom of the fifth, but Dodge could not score.
Landin Crummey came in to pitch the sixth for Dodge. Crummey deserved to escape the inning unscathed, but two Dodge errors led to a Bacon run and a 7-4 Bacon lead.
Bacon all but closed the door in the seventh by scoring four runs for an 11-4 lead. Dodge would not give up until the final out. O’Connor reached on an error and went to third on a base hit by Durden. O’Connor scored on a wild pitch. Woodard walked. Burse recorded the final Dodge hit of the season and his high school career driving in Durden with the final Dodge run of the season in the 11-6 defeat.
Leading hitters for Dodge were as follows: Garrett Durden was two for four with two runs scored. Brodie Woodard was two for three with a walk and one run scored. Kadin Burse was one for four with and RBI. DJ Bursch was one for three with double and a walk with three RBI and one run scored. Parker Hardin was one for one with a walk and one RBI.
Dodge finished the season with a record of 17-9. Great things are expected from Dodge next year as they return seven players with significant starting experience and a host of capable reserves.
