The Atlanta Braves Thread

[The Sheriff]

The Dodgers were going to try playing d'Arnaud at 3B on occasion but then they flipped him in a trade to the Rays after he was a member of the team for only five days.

See you in Canton, ELIte.

Diamonds are foreeverrrr foreverrrrr

I just saw that Travis d'Arnaud’s nickname is Lil D. That has to be quite embarrassing!

That feel when the Braves exhibition opener against the Orioles is only just over a month away.

Vlad

 

[Vercingetorix]

Gotta be Vlad. Zion’s knees are gonna be spaghetti in two years if he doesn’t drop a ton of weight.

 

[LotteryPick]

Vlad. Also, he’s gotten in better shape, so he’s about to go crazy.

 

[AV_12]

They will both always be big boys, and health isn’t guaranteed, but I’ll take the other side and Zion for the simple fact that baseball is hard and thriving in the nba is much easier imo

 

[AV_12]

Just depends on what the definition of living up to the hype is

I am not 100 percent clear what the hypothetical best version of Zion that everyone's so excited about would even theoretically look like. I mean, he's built like Charles Barkley, but if you dropped Barkley in his prime into the NBA right now he wouldn't be a top 5 player. What else is Zion supposed to bring to the table?

 

[Power T-Rev]

Memphis losing by 41 to Tulsa. Lol

I think he will be able to get 20-10-5 in his sleep with the way he plays
