@ZacharyFast2 Yeah, which I would take from our SS any day. Or if he moves to LF when Kim comes back. Really nice to have that kind of Utility player. Probably a good chance for another gold glove

@JaredSledge_98 Good chance he finished with an OPS above >.750 id say

Idk what the Braves hitting department did but this is an entirely different hitter from last year. Swinging hard and striking out more, but as a result hitting the ball much better

@BIGGEEMONEY22 @braves2928 And you said been, as if he’d been a guy his whole career.

@JaredSledge_98 @braves2928 U said was

Is Austin Riley just. A guy

@ChoppinBravos I’d rather see him get some lefty ABs instead of seeing Heim

Dominic Smith may need some ABs vs LHP. He hit that ball 100mph off a good LHR….

@Braves_Jerseys First one is Dubon, guessing the 2nd is Nick Allen

Guess the players

@Eric35_Yu Would have liked to see him get a chance to get out of that inning, but I can’t blame Weiss for going to the pen

Bryce Elder who met Jeremy Hefner is undoubtedly Reliable Starting Pitcher!! 😌 5.2 IP | 0 R | 2 BB | 7 K (79 Pitches) - 35 CSW% 🔥 - Go-to Pitch Slider 53 Whiff% 😳 - 2 Hardhit in 5.2 IP 🔥 23.1 IP 0.77 ERA (NL 1st) 2.78 FIP Bryce's ALL-STAR Season is COMING🫡 #BravesCountry

@SportsTalkATL I think he can, his increased velocity seems like something that is going to stay and he doesn’t seem like he’s overthrowing to do it, just better mechanics. We need him to be a solid guy all year

Am I crazy for believing Bryce Elder can actually stick as a starting pitcher for the entire season? I was on the bandwagon for so long, finally let go. Never wrong, just early. I’m back on

@braves2928 Well, apparently it fooled the hitter

I mean Lee is lucky he took that 3-2 pitch because that was an absolute hanger. Just not fooling anyone

@BIGGEEMONEY22 @braves2928 Well, not too many players post 3 straight 30 homer, 6+ WAR seasons. He was certainly not just “a guy”

@braves2928 Been a guy just that 212 made people think otherwise

@ChopAbusador Trading Shelby miller for Dansby was a pretty big one at the time, and Nick Allen for Dubon has some recency bias 😂 but yes, Sale has to be the best trade of my lifetime at least

Is Sale the best trade of our franchise?

@Braves_Jerseys How does Soto even have 0.5 WAR. I swear WAR makes no sense

Just a couple of 0.5WAR players

@BravesStats @Braves_Jerseys However, Dubons defense has been significantly better so far than Allen’s. Allen is at 16th percentile OAA and -1 fielding run value. Dubon has a 3 fielding run value and is 95th percentile in OAA. Well worth the 6 million so far

@Braves_Jerseys This doesn't show salary or defense

Reminder this was a one for one swap #bravescountry

@BravesStats @Braves_Jerseys WAR factors in defense

@Braves_Jerseys Fleeced

@coachzblair10 12 year olds looking old these days

Here we go again. Another over the top celebration at 12u. If you think this is good for baseball, you are the problem. Bat almost hits him in the face after the spike, then all the "look at me" antics, and you gotta love the cameraman on the field running with the kid. What a joke. It's all a show...🤦🏼‍♂️

@MWavy06 @ChoppinBravos Baseball is pretty much all big plays and big innings these days.. and the Braves are having alot of them. Just enjoy it and stop being a killjoy lol

@JaredSledge_98 @ChoppinBravos Banking on big-plays & walk-offs at the end isn't the way to conduct an MLB campaign. I hope they're for real and great things are ahead for them. However, in recent years, I've watched them spend lots of time digging holes from which they're often unsuccessful at emerging.

Everyone who was running victory laps bc the Braves pitching staff did good for 3 starts was always going to be wrong. They needed another starter this offseason and it was a mistake not to add one. Reylo hasn’t pitched in two years he’s going to hand ups and down. Holmes is stretched thin as a starter Elder is who he is Strider hasn’t been great in years Sale is elite but 37 This was always coming.

@b_outliers He’s too clutch to take out

I know you don’t wanna lose the DH but a little surprised they aren’t pinch running for Dom down by 1 in the 7th

@WaldrepSplitter I forgot about that Riley in Lf thing

Braves OD LF since 2018: 2018: Ronald Acuña Jr. (3.9 WAR) 2019: Austin Riley (-0.1 WAR) 2020: Adam Duvall (0.8 WAR) 2021: Marcell Ozuna (-0.1 WAR) 2022: Eddie Rosario (-1.9 WAR) 2023: Eddie Rosario (1.2 WAR) 2024: Jarred Kelenic (0.4 WAR) 2025: Jurickson Profar (1.1 WAR) yikes

@MWavy06 @ChoppinBravos How was it lucky? It was no more lucky than the Marlins were the first 2 innings

@JaredSledge_98 @ChoppinBravos They got lucky again at the end... lol

@ChoppinBravos I’m curious how long before he is hitting 5th against righties

Hey for everyone asking why Weiss didn’t pinch run for Dom earlier? That’s why.
