@CodifyBaseball I was in person for Jason Heyward’s first ever at-bat, Opening Day 2010. He homered off Carlos Zambrano and Turner Field went wild. It was awesome.
@JoeGiannacco I don’t think there is a need for a big splash signing or trade, but I also don’t think the Braves can go into the season with Elder as a number 3.
@TheAthletic @JeffSchultzATL But it really is baseball randomness. The Phillies played better…bottom line. Anything can happen in a 3 or 5 game series. But if you win 104 games, you are built for the playoffs. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with this team…they just got beat.
@b_outliers Exactly this. This is just playoff baseball. Braves did not play well. To say that this team “isn’t built for October” is weak. You don’t win 104 games and not be built for the playoffs. And honestly, besides the Astros, no teams are consistently making and winning series
@Philly_Mays Braves fan here....this is embarrassing. There is a lot of randomness to playoff baseball, but it was clear the Braves were rattled. This isn't a good look for Arcia.
