Venters will visit Dr. Andrews again on Thursday. Too early to know the outcome. But a second TJ surgery is a definite possibility. #Braves

Dodgers 2013 Opening Day roster appears set after team cuts 8
The Dodgers announced the cuts of eight players yesterday, moves that essentially set the Opening Day roster for the team.
The club reassigned right-handers Kevin Gregg and Peter Moylan, utility man Alfredo Amezaga and catcher Matt Wallach to Minor League camp.
In addition, the Dodgers optioned outfielder Alex Castellanos, right-hander Stephen Fife, utility man Elian Herrera and...
Three Dodgers — Paco, Amezaga, Moylan — withdraw from WBC to focus on winning jobs
Paco Rodriguez, Alfredo Amezaga, and Peter Moylan, three Dodgers with realistic shots of making the Opening Day roster, have withdrawn from the World Baseball Classic to focus on making the club.
With Scott Elbert rehabbing, Paco and Moylan in particular are competing for the spot of lefty-specialist, though J.P. Howell would appear to be the front-runner there. Amezaga would appear...
Spring Training Notes: February 19
Tuesday, February 19, 2013: Full-Squad Workout #4
BACK AT IT:Today, the Dodgers held their fourth full-squad workout of 2013 as Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu faced hitters for the first time during live batting practice. Matt Palmer, Steve Ames, Juan Abreu, Aaron Harang, Ronald Belisario, Peter Moylan and Josh Wall also faced hitters, while Javy Guerra threw a traditional bullpen...
Dodgers Roll the Dice on Non-Roster Pitchers
Probably one of my favorite Spring Training activities is watching the non-roster invitees try and have a magical breakthrough and make the major league team. While always a long-shot, it’s fascinating to see who is extended an invitation and how the competition progresses.
Ken Gurnick over at MLB.com has a great look at state of the Dodgers’ the NRI pitching competition as Mattingly...

Braves and Former Braves in the 2013 World Baseball Classic
The Braves have been quick to let us know which current Braves are playing for Team USA (Go Kimmie and Meds!) and about how Andrelton is playing on Team Great Smiles (...I mean, Netherlands). But what about everyone else (Marteen)? And what about former Braves or minor-league Braves? We care about those guys too!
Here's a breakdown. One asterisk indicates a minor-leaguer, two...
Making Moves: Peter Moylan & Jesus Flores Sign Minor Deals, 3 More Dominicans Inked
The Dodgers have signed former Braves righty reliever Peter Moylan and former Nationals backstop Jesus Flores to minor-league deals with invitations to Spring Training.
Flores has shown enough flashes that he could feasibly challenge for the backup job should Tim Federowicz falter, though he’s almost certainly going to spend the majority of the season in Albuquerque. Moylan figures...

Bye Moylo
And away we go.

Peter Moylan has been one of my favorites for such a long time. I know he's had some bad luck with injuries and the Braves have other plans for 2013, but I still can't be objective and say, "it's time to move on." I feel fortunate to have met him a few times and it was a pleasant surprise to...

Braves pitcher Peter Moylan delivers jab at Marlins over Health Bell trade
Tweet Last offseason the Miami Marlins signed Heath Bell to a three-year $27 million contract in hopes of him solidifying the back end of their bullpen. That didn’t happen. The veteran finished the season with a 5.09 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, had the second most blown saves in MLB with 8, and ended up [...]
Outfield Fly?
I don't do a lot of posts that don't involve the Mets primarily, and I'm not sure I'll make it a habit. But I got some things on my mind regarding Friday's Cardinals/Braves lunacy, so off we go. (But first off, don't forget that I'm giving away a super-sweet Mets DVD collection. Click that link before you read any of the following nonsense.)Now first off...
Where does Kimbrel’s season rank all-time?
Peter Moylan, Kris Medlen and Billy Wagner pose in tribute to Braves’ closer Craig Kimbrel
At the young age of 24, Craig Kimbrel has already cemented his status as one of the elite closers in all of baseball—perhaps even the best.
In this season, his second full year in the big leagues, the former third round pick has put together a remarkable campaign, evolving into a legitimate...
Retiring Chipper Jones participates in Braves rookie hazing
((ht: @PeterMoylan))
Well, they call it hazing, but it's more like wacky dress-up and it's an annual baseball right of passage.
There have been various photos circulating of teams making their rookies dress in odd ways in public places. We saw the Miami Marlins rookies dressed as the U.S Water Polo team on Times Square for instance.
This one is a little different...
LIKE A KID AGAIN
Chipper Jones joins in on Braves rookie hazing
Chipper Jones is trying to squeeze every last inch out of the final season of his 18-year MLB career. If that means joining the rookies and dressing up like a moron, so be it. As you can see from the photo above that Braves pitcher Peter Moylan shared on Twitter, the Braves made their rookies dress up in dumb Halloween costumes recently and Chipper joined them.
Chipper is likely...

Braves 3, Mets 2 (10)
NEW YORK -- The Mets survived Chipper Jones' final at-bat in Flushing, when he seemed poised to deliver one more torturous blow. But all that did was send Jones out of Citi Field hitless in his final series there, before the Braves managed to push across a run without him in the 10th inning Sunday. Brian McCann, who picked up Jones' mantle as a Mets-killer the past two...

Second game in two days with Susan. We had the best time! We didn't have our "megaphones" (Chipper posters) today, but it's not like we needed them - there was such a roar for everyone! September callups are always exciting.
