We gotta have the Blackest set of base coaches in MLB history

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Let’s see if Newk can repeat what he did last start.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Blew a 10-2 lead

 

["It Was Always Jerry"]

Yall seeing this bulljive. A took a nap thinking we had the game in the bag to wake up to this.

I'm over here thinking the Braves had this one

 

[Stone]

Pitching is still a year or 2 away but the offense is here now

 

[Von Clay]

Albies tied for second in HRs in the league.

Once he becomes a little more patient at the plate he needs to be the leadoff hitter going forward.

From the Blackest OF to the Blackest base coaches

Acuna
Freeman

Ideally Ender stays at leadoff...he does such a good job of making contact and staying patient that he's an ideal leadoff man. Ozzie is great at #2 because he has the same approach with more power

I want Acuna to hit cleanup eventually just because of the power he has

Ender
Ozzie
Free
Matata
Markakis
Suzuki/Flowers
Dansby
Camargo once he returns (even though I could see him hitting 6th or 7th depending on how he's hitting)

BTW, Camargo and Acuna could both be up in Atlanta this weekend

The Braves announced an agreement with infielder Jose Bautista on a one-year, minor-league contract Wednesday. Bautista has reported to the team’s extended spring training in Florida.


Bautista, who played under general manager Alex Anthopoulos in Toronto, has spent the past 10 seasons playing regularly as an outfielder.

The Braves announced he would play third base. Bautista manned third in eight games last season (38 innings), but hasn’t consistently played there since 2007, when he appeared in 126 games at the hot corner for the Pirates.

Definitely helps the bench and it's a low risk, high reward move. I like it

Nice low risk move to get a little pop in the lineup.

fukkKKKKKKKKKKK

Freddie got hit in his hand and had to leave the game (same one he got hit in last year and had to get surgery)

Got damn it

ATLANTA -- Freddie Freeman received the result he was seeking and immediately began lobbying -- successfully -- to be in the Braves' lineup for Thursday night's series opener against the Mets at SunTrust Park.

A MRI exam performed on Thursday revealed Freeman did not incur any structural damage when his left wrist was hit by a Hoby Milnerpitch during the eighth inning of Wednesday night's win over the Phillies. The Braves first baseman missed seven weeks when he was hit around the same spot with a pitch last year.



Freeman was initially worried as he walked from the batter's box toward the clubhouse, but his concern began to evaporate once X-rays taken on Wednesday night did not reveal a fracture. The MRI exam was scheduled to provide a clearer picture once the swelling reduced.

Braves whoopin the Mets ass right now
