season's over
we're back! Never doubted them for a second
I feel lied to
so we are hyped?
Bradford, are the Hawks good?
For my collecting friends out there, you may want to go ahead and get whatever Drake Baldwin cards you want now. I don't think they are getting any cheaper.
Build the Dom Smith statue outside of Truist now.
It appears as though the fears about Reynaldo's velo were a bit premature. Looks pretty good so far.
Diego Tornes. Really young, but he has a chance to be a "dude" for sure
Mild worry mainly because we have just heard literally nothing about the Braves trying to pursue an extension. That said, Atlanta probably doesn't want to have that conversation until after this season to see if he is healthy.
It is a fair question and looking at player development practices is fair as well. However, part of the issue is that the Braves have be bold about acquiring guys with previous injuries (Schwellenbach, Strider, Sale, etc.) and that increases the risk.
Riley I think will be fine. I am much less bullish on Ozzie with all of his injuries and the nature of his decline. That makes me sad.
Since it is Opening Day for most everyone else, lets do a bit of a Q&A. Ask me anything.
It is deeply upsetting that the Braves don't play until tomorrow while most of the rest of the league gets to have fun today. Full on Squidward meme situation.
I would disagree if they were having to do so on the fly in time for the season as that seems very hard for anyone. For the moment, it seems as though they have been planning for this and I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
Pretty wild that the Braves are reportedly forming their own network and there has been nothing official from any of the beat writers. Feels like there are a lot of moving parts here.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Andruw Jones: Hall of Famer
that is sick
Why are you the way that you are? (Love you)
I suspect they probably will, but I also think what happened to the Braves last year was an aberration. Not exactly a lot of other teams that lose their ENTIRE Opening Day starting rotation.
Respectfully disagree that is the only one among Caminiti, Ritchie, and Murphy that sort of potential, although I think it is unlikely for any of them.
It is a bit early for me to project that especially since their pick is sort of an awkward spot. Basically, if one of good college bats drops to them, they should probably do that. Otherwise, we need more info from this spring. I would do unspeakable things for Roch Cholowsky, though.
It is also possible that they don't need a starter. Assuming everything is true about the starters who are getting healthy, the Braves don't have a volume of arms problem. Feels like they will pounce if the right opportunity comes along, but thats it.
Caminiti and it isn't that close. Still needs seasoning whereas Ritchie and Murphy are both pretty close to the majors.
$20 million is a decent chunk of change for one year, but everyone seems to be getting that this offseason. Hope his bat is pretty good, because I don't think that is a sure thing.
