Jake, I hope Glavine and his group can buy the team. He has expressed an avid interest.

Mike, Isn’t that game time an hour later here in Atlanta? That might be a Chicago 6:10 p.m. The game is an “out of market” for ESPN viewers.

Google said that was the time but you're probably right. I hope Tom Glavine's group can buy the Braves! They would definately be willing to spend money for the betterment of the team.

Very sobering start to the season ...
The bullpen after 3-games has the 2nd worst ERA in the league
Donaldson, our big off-season acquisition is 1-11, batting 2nd in the lineup ahead of Freddie who is incidentally leading the league in hitting ??
Not sure the number of walks and homers, I lost count
Very frustrating to watch ... is Ted Turner still around, maybe someone can give him a call and scream HELP !!! ... at least Ted is a hometown guy.
On top of all else I read last week that Swanson, Acuna and Albies are among the players making the least salaries in the league ... what's going to happen down the road on that ???

Ted Turner has Lewy Body Dementia(similar to a mild case of Alzheimers) and wouldn't be a help to anyone right now.

I'm tired of hearing about inside the Matt Joyce trade, where the Braves paid cash for him. He was admittedly getting released and Atlanta didn’t want to wait, because they wanted him to get a few last exhibition game at-bats. Like he wasn’t hitting up to the trade, getting ready for AAA?

Why don’t they jump the gun and sign Kimbrel before June? Be creative! Oh and while at it, take a stab at Dallas K!!

We only got swept 3 times last year....before last night, Atl. was the last ML Team to win a game.....yet, two more wins against the downtrodden Cubbies and our record is evened up. Nice to get Minter back on Thursday, Folty next, then Gausman. O’Day shut down, most likely through April.

Still has some work to do on his control, but decent start for Newcomb and good job by Biddle last night.
Great to see McCann come through on his first at-bat !!
After the pounding in Philly, didn't expect a shut-out of the Cubbies ... good thing I didn't sprain my ankle jumping off the bandwagon so early !!

It looks like Milwaukee will win the NL Central this season. At 1-3 it looks like the Cubs will be fighting to not have a losing season with a bullpen that is worse than the bullpen of the Braves.
