If they can keep Neck fresh I might have been wrong on that want. Neck may turn out to be the biggest value of all FA signings. Pen can still be addressed both externally and internally.

I seem to recall a number of people saying that the Braves had only signed this broken down relic because he was personal friends with Anthopolous. Really, more than one person said that.

I agree that the one thing the Braves did not do that I considered to be an significant error was fail to add a leverage bullpen arm. Not necessarily a closer.

Yes, the random trek through irrational thought is made by many posters on this board.

I personally think he ends up getting Kimbrel after the draft.

Braves win!

On to 'zona

Good win. Entertaining game tonight.

**USMA76** · 04-14-2019, 10:15 PM

After losing the first two and knowing we'd face deGrom on Sunday night, gotta be pretty happy with a split.

This level of patience at his age is truly rare. I'm getting young bonds vibes from him.

I understand it’s a school night but move people from other sections to behind home plate at least. I’ve been at a high school basketball All-Star game and they moved people from the upper deck to behind the goals in the lower deck for tv.

I feel like Acuna is the only player this board universal agrees is as good as he actually is

I've never been more sold on a Braves prospect in a long time with Acuna. He's stupid good.

**Hudson2** · 04-14-2019, 10:23 PM

The umpire behind the plate tonight did a fantastic job for both sides. His strikes were actually strikes.

Braves are second but their +15 run diff. is best in the division so far. Nats are second at +11 JFYI.

**Enscheff** · 04-14-2019, 10:22 PM

Remember that time we chuckled at calling Julio an ace line degrom, and then Julio went out and made degrom his bitch?

Remember that time that Bobby Bouche showed up at halftime and led the Muscats to win the Bourbon Bowl?

He should be. But he has a decent amount of doubters right now

Major kudos to the Braves bats tonight. Their approach against deGrom was about as good as it could be.
