    The Braves have activated INF Freddie Freeman from the 10-day disabled list. He will start at 3B tonight against Houston.

    I'm guessing the lineup looks like this:

    Ender
    Phillips
    Freeman
    Kemp
    Adams
    Flowers
    Markakis
    Swanson

    Thats a pretty good lineup. Hopefully Freddie can be slightly below average defensively.

    Love the left/right balance. Wonder how big a crowd shows.

    This must have huge fantasy baseball implications.

    Crowds have been great things year and I'm sure the braves will have a huge fireworks display. I'd be interested in not only how many fans buy a ticket but how many people will be at the battery tonight

    The cheapest tickets are ~$80 right now, so I'd say it'll be a good crowd.

    close but move Markakis up to 5th then drop Adams and Flowers down one, so Markakis and Adams back to back.

    Would love to be able to win 3 of the next 6 games. Anything else is gravy.

    My gut tells me this happened way too fast. My heart, however, is joyous. My problem is that my gut is bigger.

    Braves are killing it right now at the gate. If they find a way to stay competitive all throughout the summer they could get close to 3M fans.

    How does that math work? Last weekend against the Brewers the Braves averaged 33k. If they drew that amount for all 81 games they would draw 2.6M.

    Problem is, they've been drawing 25k per weeknight game, which is a 2M pace.

    Please explain thethe math to me haha

    For some reason, as bearish as I am by nature, I'm excited for this.
