The Atlanta Braves

Pretty fitting that the guy suing his parents is a Philly.

How so?

How so?

Seems to fit in with a city that threw snowballs at Santa.

On my knees praying to the baseball gods that Mike Harris has a 7-8% walk rate in him

It's a shame the bat truly never came around but 40 WAR players don't grow on trees. If he was 6'1 everybody would say what an awesome career he had. He's still the best defensive RF I've seen.

The Braves drafted Heyward, Freeman, Kimbrel (signed the next year) and Brandon Belt (who went to college). Combined 157.7 bWAR

Not a bad draft at all.

It's funny watching Heyward turn on 93 down and in with that power and how exciting it was to have a prospect that could do that.

Now if you can't pull 93 down and in with pop you won't make Double-A

Nacho Alvarez can’t!

I remember showing up late to a night class in grad school so I could watch his first at-bat. Glad I did...and cannot believe that was 16 years ago. It feels like it was maybe 7-8, tops.

one of those moments where you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing

(if you’re a true B4L)

I couldn’t imagine stepping outta the house in that in a non ironic situation

is it bad that I automatically assumed Fubo Reach was some washed up 4A starting pitcher

Fun Braves trivia to celebrate opening day.

(I’d switch Riley/Ozzie and Heim/White but those are minor, minor quibbles)

OZZIE IN FRONT OF OLSON IS NOT A MINOR QUIBBLE

 

[TBrown]

Whether or not we picked up a $7mn option was a legitimate question and G1 you just toss him out there in front of two guys making $50,000,000
