Perhaps we get farther than the play in round this year.

Best outfield in MLB this year. With the pitching we've become accustomed to, I think we make an NLCS run this year.
Gonna be different without Chipper, but with Heyward, Upton(s), McCann, Freeman, Uggla, etc. plus our pitching, this should be a good team. Here's to a deep playoff run.
most excited I've been for opening day in a long time
Anybody else around the Orlando area that wants to hit up a few spring training games? Not a lot of other people have the flexibility to go to 1:05 afternoon games on a Tuesday but spring training games are fun.
McCann may start the year on the DL.
While I am very excited about this season, I do have a few worries: No Chipper, No Prado, will Teheran figure it out this year and win the 5th starter spot, etc. This article is a little worrisome as well:

Don't remind me about Prado...guy was my favorite player on the last few teams.
Have you guys found a video of the Justin Upton HR he hit on Monday? Also I am really excited for opening day!
Any thoughts on the battle for 3B?

Venters to visit Dr. Andrews. This would be a big loss if its serious.

Hopefully the visit is more precautionary than anything.
Or maybe he was just checking in how Beachy is recovering.

Can't wait for Monday night!
Freddie with the bomb!
I can root for the Braves now right? Is the Houston/Atlanta rivalry over for now? Because I've really liked them the last two years and I need a NL team to root for.
Uggla bomb
Mazag I think that's what I'm gonna do this year, but I can't even watch my own team, so I'm not sure how much I'll be into it this year anyways
Those Braves girls they just showed during God Bless America.
How is that a legal pitch that Walden is throwing?

I will never get over the late 90s/early 00s. Ever. Got knocked out of the playoffs by the braves what seemed like every year. I think the padres got us one year in there but I didn't hate a team more than the braves at that time. I don't hate 'em any more but I can't bring myself to root FOR them. Even if their team is looking good this year...
1-0
8 Ks last night. Puts us on pace for 1300 and the record this season!!
On a serious note, it was good to see the offense work. The long ball was working and Freeman was in beast mode. Good start.

I found it to be an odd delivery as well. But, why would it be illegal?
I thought you had to remain in contact with the rubber.
Maybe I'm imagining things.
I'm pretty sure that's illegal in softball (the crow hop).

Possibly... but you didn't text me that this morning.
Bummer, I felt so cool thinking I knew an internet legend...oh well
Venters had surgery. Out indefinitely.
