Braves at Padres chat and discussion: JR Ritchie vs Wandy Peralta/Griffin Canning

After another lifeless offensive performance in Monday’s series opener at San Diego, the Braves look to level the series and force a Wednesday rubber match in Tuesday night’s 9:40 p.m. EDT game at Petco Park.

Atlanta turns to rookie JR Ritchie on the mound, while the Padres are expected to counter with Wandy Peralta as the opener followed by Griffin Canning.

The good news is that after tonight, there are only two more games that start after 9 p.m. on the East Coast.

The better news is the Braves commentary crew is back on the call tonight after whatever that ESPN broadcast was on Monday.
