And the cheap motherfuckers have sent Acuna down to minor league camp. Garbage move.
Yeah, but to have one year more control of an elite prospect is not a bad move. Acuna is rare

If he's as good as he's hyped up to be, he needs to be signed long term well before his final year of team control. After 4 shit seasons in a row, with a fanbase that really isn't happy, Acuna should be our starting left fielder Thursday night.

Heyward was the top ranked prospect in baseball. He started in right field in the season opener of his rookie season..

Got some badass tickets for Friday night's game. Same seats as last season. Right behind home plate, Delta Club access which means all you can eat(good food too like steak and wings) and all the beer you can drink included. Fully stocked liquor bar too, but you have to pay for those, but a souvenir cup full of tequila ain't too expensive.

Nice. I need to catch a game. Braves are the only sports team I follow that are located more than 90-100 miles away from where I live.

I got 2 home run porch tickets but might not go Friday night. I'll sell em for $20 a piece ($31 + service fee normally). There's some issues with the gal I was supposed to go with.

how dare they send him down for two weeks out of a 6+ month season.

And if he ends up becoming a superstar, they'll have him for another year. Would you really rather have him for another two weeks in April versus an entire season? This is a no-brainer.

If he turns out to be a super star, I'd hope he'd get the long term contract well before the final season of team control comes into play. They did it with Freddie Freeman, they could do it for Acuna.

It's penny pinching bullshit by our media conglomerate from Colorado owners that sees the team as a spreadsheet and has zero interest in winning games.

And it's an unlikely scenario, but if we miss out on a wild card by a couple of games and we have a bad record these first two weeks, I'll be pissed, and it'll be hard for me to have any forgiveness.

I highly doubt he would have made any real impact over two weeks, especially as a 20-year-old rookie.

I guess we'll never know because once again the front office decided to fuck over its fanbase.

I know if I were an MLB ready top prospect and I was sent down to start the season to try and steal an extra year of team control, I'd remember it when it came time for a new deal, and it would probably be for another team.

lmao, he comes in and walks two batters

definitely major league material

He used to be good like 5 years ago for the Rockies. He sucked for us last year. He sucked in spring training. He looks like he still sucks this season.

I've seen all I need to see.

5-0. Great.

We'll score a run on opening day one of these years.

I can handle Winkler giving up the single. At least he was throwing strikes. I can handle a pitcher getting hit around. I can't handle the fucking walks.

We'd better have a better showing tomorrow when I'm sitting behind home plate. The beer is free if not, though.

Leadoff double.

He'll be standing at second when the inning ends.
