2020 Atlanta Braves News

[THWG]

The Braves announced today that they have signed first baseman Matt Adams. It’s a minor-league arrangement.

Adams had recently opted out of his deal with the division-rival Mets. Though there just wasn’t room for him on the New York roster, it seems the left-handed hitter showed enough to earn a spot in the Atlanta 60-man player pool.

He's a perfect DH against RHP and a good bench bat to have late in the game. Love this signing.

He could still sign, but it doesn't do the Braves much good if he has to sit for 2 weeks after they signed him.

Freddie appears back to normal. 3B away from the cycle tonight in 5 at bats.

We may have lost Peweeg for only 2-3 more weeks. Braves search for a LH hitter off the bench.

My crystal ball pick of Matt Adams. I’m here all baseball season folks. Unless coronageddon takes me out.

Got the idea from @THWG, in the GT Baseball thread.

Well... since I'm so socially awkward... the distancing piece isn't an issue.

Braves Remove ‘Chop On’ Statue from Outside Stadium
On Sunday, the Atlanta Braves quietly removed their “Chop On” statue from near the third-base entrance at Truist Park.
The Braves have been under fire for years for their tomahawk chop fan chant. At various times the team has attempted to discourage fans from using the chant, but it has been part of Braves fandom since the 1990s. Recently, the team announced that it intends to keep its name, but it is reviewing whether or not to ban the chant officially.

Rotation: Smoltz, Hudson, Medlen, Soroka, and Fried

Closer: Kimbrel

C: McCann, 1B: Freddie, 2B: Albies, SS: Furcal, 3B: Chipper, LF: Aaron, CF: Andruw (my favorite Brave), RF: Acuna, DH: Justin Upton

Bench: Culberson, Conrad, Inciarte (for defense), Suzuki, and Frenchy

 

[Milwaukee]

Starters: Glavine Maddux Smoltz Avery Hudson
Closer: Rocker
OF Deion Andruw Acuna Justice
IF Chipper Pendleton Blauser Albies Freddie

Sid Bream was very close to making my list.

I think something is wrong with him. He's sitting at 89-91. And it's clear that he's working on his slider too. He's thrown it more than the fastball.
