Fuentes will NOT be starting Tuesday, as he is in today in the 6th. Suarez or Perez the likely stsrter now. Meanwhile, offense is looking cold for the 2nd straight game. #BravesCountry

@BeaneaterB I can't see Snit ever pinch running for Olson there.

Walt Weiss was in the dugout in the 9th like:

@Braves only thing missing was @BrandonGaudin calling that

WELCOME TO ATLANTA, DOMINIC SMITH! #BravesCountry

Lots of mistakes tonight. Gotta clean that up #BravesCountry

@BeaneaterB 3 Ks and an error. Worst game of his life.

Sometimes you’re just going to have one of those games where things don’t go your way. If Matt Olson is making errors, it’s probably one of those games.

@grantmcauley Question: Isn't Acuna wavIng his hands high illegal, or did he put them down in time? Again, no explanation is ridiculous though.

He jumped over the bag throwing the ball before stepping on it. Acuña should be safe at second. The neighborhood play is dead.

@mlbbowman Didn't like either challenge tbh.

If you're just tuning in, the Braves are out of ABS challenges. They went 0-for-2 within the game's first 14 pitches. Baldwin lost one while catching and Acuna lost the other against Wacha's second pitch of the night

@BeaneaterB I've seen 95, 96

So Reylo’s first 2 pitches are 93 and 94.

#Braves out of challenges before an out in the bottom of the first. Might have to work on that strategy going forward.

@baldheaded1der Fox. I have to watch on MLB tv bc my local fox station is playing Yanks

Is tonight’s game blacked out?

Is there a reason @MLBTV is not showing the scores of the games on their home screen in the app?

@680TheFan @kingcfb @RealMattlanta That doesn't seem great for Schwellenbach

Opening Day update from Alex Anthopoulos to @kingcfb and @RealMattlanta -AJ Smith-Shawver could return around the All-Star break or at least begin rehab assignment in minors Hurston Waldrep expected back this season (barring setbacks) Spencer Schwellenbach still in the recovery phase from surgery — timeline less clear

@ReggieChatman Lost a bet in the versus match...maybe.

#Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr arrives to Truist Park in a DR Juan Soto basketball jersey #OpeningDay

@reidpleasants02 @Braves I know. I probably still would have put him 7 or something to break up 3 rights in a row. Not sure Heim as a righty is much better than Harris as a left.

@Tim_Brindle @Braves Lefty on the mound for KC

Game 1/162! #BravesCountry

@mlbbowman White is not hitting 25+

Olson, Riley and Acuña are all capable of hitting 40-plus homers. Baldwin, Harris and Yaz/White could hit 25-plus. Murphy and Kim are wild cards, but a 20-homer pace is possible for either. The Braves have a lot of power, but the key this year will be the impact Antoan Richardson brings to the running game.

@RealMattlanta @680TheFan He won't answer, but will they release Profar? And was there any effort to replace him after the suspension was announced. And does he wish he had done more with the rotation over the Winter considering the current circumstances.

#Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos will join Chuck and Chernoff at 3:20 today @680TheFan. Send a question you want answered and we’ll try to get it in during the interview.

@BeaneaterB 1st homer of the year? Ozzie Albies.

Give me one Opening Day prediction for the Braves.

@MLBONFAX @HollyBaylorMLB @DustyBakerTV Would have been better if you had said Giants. Or even Cubs. And you still could have used Baker

BRAKING 🚨 The Astros are firing manager Joe Espada and replacing him with franchise icon Dusty Baker following their Opening Day loss to the Angels at Daikin Park, per @HollyBaylorMLB. Baker, who led Houston to a World Finals title in 2022, is expected to return immediately as the club looks to “restore accountability and edge” after a sluggish start. “I never really left,” Baker said. “This city, this clubhouse — it’s in my blood. When they called, I told them I still had a few more wins left in this uniform.”
