    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    This is great for Braves baseball. They are trying everything they can to sell tickets and making games entertaining to watch. That's how you make money.
    The side note is they are using the media to assist in trade negotiations.
    Who knows what will happen, but I appreciate the effort.

    We've been slumping pretty bad lately. Be interesting if this lineup can get the offense going. It certainly looks good.

    Just at being at Suntrust will probably get the offense going. Unfortunately, the Astros will feast here as well.
