*OPENING DAY* 4/6/'15: Atlanta Braves (Teheran) @ Miami Marlins

[yeezus]

To an extent, sure. But usually competitive teams will say something like, "The Atlanta Braves: Beasts of the East," or "The Atlanta Braves and Julio Teheran: Pitching For Greatness."

OH OK!!!

6-2 win for the Bravos today!

Freeman with a 2 run homer and run scoring 2B.

Peterson on base 3 times and scores 2 runs.

[TomahawkCult]

Ah! Braves baseball. I'm more than ready. It will be fun listening to Jim and Don on the drive home.

[weso1]

Freeman will walk 800 times this season.

[UNCBlue012]

Well, I'm so excited to see the team, knowing anything can happen! But I also knoe that a lineup that has Bethancourt 5th can't be good. That being said, even with the platoon, I think CJ should be in the 5th spot.

[Julio3000]

I really want to 'shop Bethancourt's head onto my old Gerald Laird "FIF" pic, but I just don't love baseball enough right now.

Here it is, if anyone else feels up to it:

[yeezus]

I just don't love baseball

AHA!
I always had my doubts.

[The Chosen One]

For someone who hustles as much as Heyward does, you'd think he would love baseball. Just a farce.

[sturg33]

I'm at least encouraged that he's platooning Gomes and CJ... That's progress

[sturg33]

It will only make sense that Fredi becomes a competent manager when we don't have the talent to do anything with it

I wouldn't worry about that too much.

If EYJ starts over Maybin tomorrow I'm going to be pissed.

Freeman on clubhouse mood after Kimbrel trade: "I think everything is ok. We haven't had one little mumble. We're excited, ready to go"

Won't be long before VB turns this into a post about Kimbrel being a cancer in the clubhouse.

Except Alvarez is one of the few RHs that CJ destroys(7-15 w/homer). *sigh* Fredi being Fredi.

At first I was going to blast Fredi for hitting CB 5th, then I remembered our position players.

"Position."

The Braves' Facebook post with the lineup reads:

"‪#‎BravesAreBack‬ today, and we've got a clubhouse full of guys ready to give their all for Braves Country!"

Ah, the perpetual Opening Day fallback slogan of the re-building team. "The 2015 Atlanta Braves: They're Gonna Try!"

The tryingest bunch of sons of bitches in baseball, no doubt.
