The Atlanta Braves Thread

[LotteryPick]

Was too hyped up for Grissom that I almost forgot to follow up on Shuster.

Only his third start in AAA and Nashville's lineup is REALLY good, but I was very underwhelmed. Fastball was getting hit hard and he didn't have a feel for the curve. Changeup was good and got whiffs, as expected, but that fastball probably isn't going to work. The hardest he threw was 93 and he hit that once.

This guy has flown under the radar but could legitimately push for playing time at some point next year. Only 23 and doesn't K much at all. No clue what he's like behind the plate.

Glad we draft all these first round pitchers that seldom pan over guys like Drew Gilbert!

How many Braves players have hit homeruns in their debut game with Atlanta either MLB debut or after a trade?

I was late to a night class in college because I wanted to see Heyward's first AB. Glad I did. Remember it like it was yesterday.

Hard to really tell how any of Dana’s guys are going to pan out, as he took over in 2019.

He HAS brought us Harris, Strider and Grissom since then though.

I thought it was a day game? I remember listening to it on the radio at work.
