Official Atlanta Braves Thread

I have been searching the internet for years trying to find a decent Atlanta Braves message board. Ideally one that is like the huddle but for the Braves baseball. I have found nothing but garbage sites, most of the time hosted by some big media outlet (ESPN, CBS, etc.). They all suck donkey balls and I am disappointed in my lack of quality braves discussion.

It seems as though there are not too many people interested in baseball here and even fewer braves fans (Growing up I thought everyone from the southeast was a braves fan, but apparently not). Anyways, since so few people post here, I figured it would be best to just have one thread to discuss anything/everything braves related.

I have feeling this might become me just having a conversation with myself, but I figured it was worth a shot.

So with chipper out of the line-up what kind of line-up would you like to see today?

I'm thinking,

Infante - 3B

Prado - 2B

Escobar - SS

McCann - C

Glaus - 1B

Heyward - RF

Diaz - LF

McClouth - CF

I'm still not sure how I feel about Melky, and Diaz definitely needs his AB's. Hopefully Infante can get back to where he was before his injury last year.

Melky Cabrera had an excellent at bat to end the game last night. 3rd strike looking.

GO PHILS!!!!!

In all seriousness, I am obvioulsy not a Braves fan but I do follow them just as closely as I do the Phillies. Since I don't get most of the Phillies games around here, I usually have the Braves game on at night. I love to watch and root against them. A couple of my close friends are big Braves fans so I have to keep up with the team in order to know what to talk trash about. :D

oh yeah....Scrum is a big Braves fan as well.

Yeah, the biggest problem I found with all Braves message boards is there are always more phillies fans than braves fans. Makes it impossible to have a discussion when 4 out of 5 posts are phillie trolls. So way to ruin my thread, ass.

Nah, I'm joking, it's cool. I don't mind as long as it's intelligent or funny.

Well that sucks....I can understand football trolls but usually baseball is not that way....but then again... it is the Internet.

I will say this, I think the Braves will defintely give the Phils a run for thier money this year. I am still not sold on the Braves offensively but that starting 5 ptiching rotation is one of the best if not the best in baseball IMO. I also saw Billy Wagner pitch for the first time the other night and I was impressed...didn't know he still had that in him.

Phils could be vulnerable this year as far as SP goes and thier bullpen is horrible so this season could get real interesting.

Doesn't matter to me, I live in DC and have directv extra innings. I get both broadcasts of all games. So if it's on peachtree and non-HD, I'll just watch the opponent city's HD broadcast. It's nice being able to listen to opposing announcers sometimes, especially when their team is getting crushed.

That being said, anything in non-hd is bullshit if you ask me.

hmmmm....I have Direct TV also and they have a free trial for the MLB extra innings and couldn't find one that wasn't blocked. How much is that by the way? I may splurge and get it this year.

* Edit * Never mind...I looked up the price. Does the $200 get the games in HD also?

Yeah, it's not like Sunday Ticket where you have to buy superfan to get the HD versions.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
