ATLANTA BRAVES THREAD!

[AUTUmike 79]

Weird... 4-0. I'll take it.

[AUbritt 611]

This team has been fun to watch so far! Low expectations from fans and great attitudes from the players; forcing the issue with aggressive baserunning and making plays defensively. I like it!

wow

[AUTUmike 79]

I like the rebuilding year so far. And 4 games up on the Nats

[AUB1974 2]

Went to game tonight. Was great. Exciting team to watch. Pitching has been awesome. And set next to 2 AU grads tonight too. Great night.

[auburntiger1987 759]

Was there as well. So much fun watching this club So far

[AUB1974 2]

Will take 5 of 6 any time -- even 4 out of 6.

There goes the undefeated season.... Maybe next year....

I don't look for this to hold up but it would be funny if this bunch ended up in the playoffs or at least were in contention throughout the season.

[AUTUmike 79]

With a very soft schedule the first month of the season (and what seems like its going to be a weak NL East) I think the Braves could back their way into contention by default.

[AUB1974 2]

Going to Braves-Reds game tonight. The fast start has faded, rapidly -- 25 runs for Nationals in last 2 nights, against our 2 best pitchers (Tehran and Woods), and now lost 9 of last 11. Hope we aren't settling in.

Hate to say it but I think they are...........

some managers can keep a team scratching and clawing for relevance, even during an obvious rebuild. Fredi Gonzalez does not appear to be one of those managers

[AUbritt 611]

Do the braves even bullpen?!

Great for the offense to keep fighting, though.

[AUbritt 611]

Andrelton Simmons traded to the Angels.

Wtf...

[augolf1716 21,091]

Better hope there's riches down in the farm system

[augolf1716 21,091]

Seems that way lately.

Not sure if there's already a thread for them. If so, please let me know. 

Anyways, what's everyone's thoughts on the team right now, now that we are creeping deeper into summer? Do they keep the momentum going? 

[augolf1716 21,091]

bump

Wow 2+ years. Really wished the Braves were still on TBS. Miss the evenings watching with my late Grandfather in the 90s

I haven’t hated the Marlins since they bought the 97’ Series. Hitting Acuña to leadoff the game tonight put them right back in the hate column. What a dirty, awful thing to do. And Acuña is out of the game to boot.
