Here’s what people were saying about the move on social media:
@BravesLiz: “I get it…but I don’t have to like it.”
@Burnerbravess: “Molina was fine last night i don’t understand this lmao”
@bmichea1: “Due to his MLB service time, Molina has options & can be sent back down to the minors. After 2 innings last night, he wouldn’t be available to pitch until Monday, at best, so he’s sent down & a fresh arm is called up. Braves starters don’t go deep into games so you need pen arms.”
@ChoppinBravos: “They just need to hire cookie on the coaching staff so dude can stop flying across country every other say day 😂”
@BravesSufferer: “So carrasco is the new Jesse Chavez?”
