    Sitting at home and not burning service time may be the right answer here.

    Yeah, why burn a year of service for any of these young guys for a 60 game season.

    The real question is. Will 1 month of baseball be a half year of service time? Pache will likely be included on the extra depth roster that teams can have for the year.

    I don’t think the Braves make the playoffs this year with only 60 games and no expanded playoff format.

    It’s going to favor top-heavy teams like the Mets and Nationals. Maybe even the Phillies.

    You also won’t be allowed to do the tomahawk chop at games this year.

    Well...that should be easy to enforce...this year at least lol. Next year when 10,000 people do it at once....good luck.

    I am part Native American and there is zero about a Brave or chopping that is offensive. In fact, it seems more to hold them in high regard. Now, I could totally understand someone not liking the Redskins, although I could care less about that either. That’s pretty bad though. Can you imagine a team named the black skins or yellow skins? This is no different.

    Someone literally got paid to come up with that. The problem is though, they were told to come up with a slogan that has nothing to do with the Braves logo.

    If they change Braves logo...I might be done

    It will be tough having to face the Rays,Yankees, and Red Sox on top of the Phillies, Mets, and gNats. No question the toughest schedule in the game. The NL central will definitely benefit from that schedule. The Cards,Cubs,Brewers, Reds get to face a relatively easy NL Central schedule with the Twins, White Sox, and Indians being the toughest of those teams.

    On the brightside if we make it to the playoffs, we'll actually get production from Freddie and Neck.

    Instead of Freddie going 0-20 with RISP.

    It's not ideal but it's going to be what a 4 game series against each AL East team? Rest of the division has to deal with that too.

    But in reality anything, literally anything, can happen in a 60 game span.

    Yup. This season will have an asterisk by it, so I'm just gonna enjoy it. Well, I'm gonna try not to trip on every pitch.
