re: The ATL Thread 3/27: I guess we're doing this

I like the optimism, but like 1/3 of the team are replacement level/journeymen.

It’s not like people are just making this up to be negative

Granted, the Eli White, M. Dubon, J. Heim group doesn't look great on paper.
But....look who they are replacing from last season. Nick Allen, who had zero homers at SS.
It's not like they got anything out of SS, LF last season. If Dubon just hits .260 and throws in a handful of doubles and homers, that's a big improvement over Nick Allen.

I’m not saying we will win the World Series or even the division, but to act like AA is garbage because of injuries is like saying Phil Jackson sucked the years Jordan was retired. Yes, the Braves have holes but so do the Mets, Phillies, Yankees, Blue Jays, etc. The only team head and shoulders above the pack are the Dodgers.

AA has built a solid team. There is only 1 team buying up every stud and that’s the Dodgers. Heck, the Mets are spending huge money and they won’t win a thing by doing it.

I’m glad we have Olson locked up over a declining today. And Dansby wasn’t worth what he asked for. The Cubs are paying him for ultimate nothing at the end. Sure, Murphy hasn’t really worked but it also opened the door for Baldwin who I’d take over Contreras every day of the week.

If this team came get healthy with the pitching staff by August we can make the playoffs and will have a top shelf staff going into next year with Sale, Schwelly, Waldrep, Strider, Ritchie, Fuentes, and others. Sure, we need to buy some bats but by not overpaying others we can. Profar and injuries screwed us but we are close to being past that soon.

Interested in knowing this before i pay for something else.

How would a baw in Louisiana who has DirecTV Stream watch the Braves?

Still gotta buy MLB network?

Just want Braves don’t care about other 31 teams.

walk off Grand slam !

162-0 guys

Catcher began walking off as soon as the ball left his bat.
