3/30 - OPENING DAY VS THE GNATS!

[Deester11]

Even as the boards resident hater of the trade. Murphy will be fine. Love having TDA picking up the team.

Next to me there Matt. But I too think Murphy will be fine.

Love the pitch clock, but I think it’s going to be pretty clear pretty quickly that the new pickoff rule is going to be a disaster. Stealing bases aren’t exciting when there’s no risk of being thrown out.

That was the first thing that stood out to me.

Relax guys. They got this

Yep! If Allard is healthy, the starting rotation is 10 deep (ATL & Gwinnett).

I mean, could’ve told you that when the rule was first suggested (and I probably did).

Lol, Allard.

Yeah, thats a no on Allard. Wright, Strider, Fried, Morton, Schuster with Dodd, Soroka, Anderson, Elder as depth.

Being off the day after Opening Day should be ****ing illegal. This is annoying.

Most teams in baseball are. Only like 5 games today.

It really is the most annoying thing of all time to me.

 

[DirkPiggler]

The injury time out for Fried added a lot of time.

Manfred will probably start adding a penalty run for the opposing team to discourage injury timeouts.

Is it just me or have the Braves opened on the road a lot in recent years?

Schiller said they've requested to open on the road because it gives the grounds crew more time to get ready, and they believe the team forges chemistry and bonds better right off the bat on the road.

I swear the day off in between game 1 and 2 feels longer than the entire month and a half of pitchers catchers report and spring training.

yep.. and also day playoff games.

Mandick tweeted yesterday that if the Braves make the WS, that game 1 will start on a Wednesday at 11 eastern

That surprisingly made a lot of sense when I read it. Plus it gets one road trip out of the way when they've already been away from home for several months.

Sucks for fans though. Home openers are much less exciting when the team has already played multiple games.

Saw we signed Culberson to a minor league deal

Fried must be hurt worse than they're letting on
