@bravesmonkeybiz: “Hope Kim and Riley are on it today.”
@ChadCaldwell24: “Would love to see the look on Weiss face writing in Kim at SS”
@BYU_Braves: “My goodness, some of you need to chill. Yes, Kim is in the lineup, but so is Mateo Braves are 40-19. I’d say Weiss has earned some trust”
@ATLchamptober: “I bet you Kim is working hard behind the scenes and will come around”
