It was cheeks last year too. And the GM said he thought we had too many pitchers. **** was embarrassing
man having to roll out Mikolas opening day pretty much sums it up. I'd be so pissed if I was a STL fan. Monty was available for 1 year 25 mil smh

Agreed. They probably upgraded the bullpen, but it still sucks too. On a normal staff, Mikolas is the 3rd starter at best.

wasting Goldy and Arenado
I do think the bullpen is better and better I mean around middle of the MLB and that’s really because of depth rather than star power. Still not good, but stole one from the Dodgers last night.

hoping y’all pull it out here in the 9th

Liking what I’m seeing from the bats so far. Kelenic seems to be a steal thus far. But we’re 3 games in. Long season.

First night of Sonny Grey. They had him on an 85 pitch count, but it was a good night. Bullpen looked good. I also don’t know if the Phillies are good or not at this point.

Phillies usually start slow. They’ll pick it up.

Sonny is a stud. The phillies are a streaky offense but they'll be fine

I love it how the Braves sign noted racist yuli gurriel and not a peep from the gatekeepers who won’t stand for the idea of Trevor Bauer

You could easily get TB on a cheap 1 year contract right now. But that makes too much sense.

Vines tonight vs the trashtros. Could be another shake our heads start but hope he does a lot better than Winans the other day

Wondering why BJ hasn’t be brought back up. Maybe trying to get some more consistency.

I have zero idea why I always do that but I meant Bryce Elder. I keep trying to call him BJ for some dumbass reason.
I think Elder will be up next. He had a pretty rough spring but has done pretty well in 2 starts at Gwinnett.

Tromp has done a decent job that we could use him as trade bait.
Might be a throw in to some deal but he's independently not adding much to a trade imo. He's 29 and has spent 6 years in AAA with .724 OPS in over 1,000 PA there. I think the Braves value him as emergency fill in option for a short stretch and the plan I would guess is eventually Drake will take his ABs in Gwinnett.
