Don’t worry, I’ll get to the topic at hand, “Bucking Braves Managerial Trends”, but first…a rant. Braves Fans are PISSED and should be Last night was one of the most miserable and utterly unfair Braves losses I’ve ever encountered. Fast forward to the bottom of the 5th inning, scored tied 1-1, 0 out, Johan Camargo leading off of 3rd, Culberson leading off of 1st, LHP Mike Montgomery toeing the rubber for the Cubs and Ozzie…
Our beloved Braves roster is about to get to the point that most wanted out the gate and that is a solid 25-man, 1-25. If you looked at the first 20 games of this season and had positive thoughts on how those 20 could go, I truly admire you. Many stated prior to the season that this first month of baseball would make or break the Braves and at 12 wins 8 losses, this team…
Like them or not, there have been a lot of Braves Roster moves thus far, will be many more in the upcoming weeks, and will likely continue throughout the year. The Meek Braves Roster Moves Our Atlanta Braves are 7-5 and have been without: Their starting catcher Tyler Flowers for (nearly) all 12 games. Their starting 3rd baseman Johan Camargo for all 12 games. Arguably their highest ceiling Starting Pitcher in Luiz Gohara. This led…
Yesterday marked one of my favorite days of the year…Atlanta Braves Opening Day! There are high, yet realistic hopes for this Braves’ team. Most MLB evaluations have the Braves somewhere around 72-78 wins for the year with a huge asterisk that is the unknown of young players like Ozzie Albies, Ronald Acuna, Luiz Gohara, A.J. Minter, Preston Tucker, Dansby Swanson, and more to come. Like every season in the past 4-5 years, there’s a whole…
Tomorrow, we will have a new season. A fresh sense of hope. It’s been a while since we’ve had real hope for our Atlanta Braves. Tomorrow, fresh young faces take the stage and over the course of the season, hopefully, other fresh faces will dethrone space filling veterans. By the end of the year, I hope that we see a different, youthful team that injects energy into a disgruntled (and rightfully so) fanbase. But, one last…
