Let me rephrase... 20 bucks a month for one channel is criminal.

Spring training going on for a few days already and not one single post about it. AA really did a number on the fans this off season.

Front-office inactivity + last year was a complete shitshow. We watched literally our entire team either regress or get hurt, and then lost even more key parts of our 2021 WS core—parts who were still valuable. Meanwhile, we’re going to trot Orlando Arcia out there at short like we’re a serious ballclub.

A serious ballclub that is projected to win a stacked NL east.

Just like we were last year in a division that has improved exponentially all around us.

Jesus Christ.

With a healthy full squad, this team is the best in the NL not named the Dodgers.

I also have to believe that this year will be a healthy middle ground between last year and '23.

All of this fatalistic bullshite is just that, bullshite.

The Braves are a serious ballclub.

I hope you’re right, but I’m expecting a 3rd place finish in the division until I see some of these guys pull their heads out of their asses.

While I’m being negative, I’m really enjoying every top-10 catchers list having Wild Bill at #1 this offseason. Such a great fricking move to grab Murphy, and at a discount!

2nd at worst.

I'm not believing in the Mets like everyone else.

All the negativity is why this thread is dead. Sure it was an extremely uneventful offseason but fact remains the ‘25 Braves team has tons of talent and should be viewed with optimism.

I get not getting worked up over last season with the injuries, though there's definitely room to debate that.
But are the Braves inarguably better than they were in 2023? Because we know how that turned out. And yes, I know MLB playoffs are a crapshoot and the main thing is just getting in. But shouldn't you still try to improve? And not rely on guys like Ian Anderson and Orlando Arcia?

Arcia is fine as long as 1-8 is carrying their weight. He can just worry about playing defense if that's the case.

The Braves have a damn good team, all of this poor-mouthing is crazy.

I’ll be positive. I’m excited about Profar.

He was arguably the least valuable player in MLB last year. At least per some rankings.

Arcia should be in Gwinnett, and I won’t entertain any arguments to the contrary. It’s ludicrous that we haven’t upgraded at SS. Hell, he’s so bad it wouldn’t even be an expensive upgrade.

LF was a much more pressing need than SS. Sorry, that's just the truth.

If 1-8 hits, then he will be fine playing defense, hitting 9th, and batting .240.

You're being ridiculous

Lot of optimism to expect 1-8 to hit after last year.
