So what you're saying is is that the Atlanta Braves will relocate. Atlanta's not very good at holding onto professional sports franchises.

Only hockey franchises, the Flames were before my time, but the Thrashers were doomed from the get go.

Braves, Falcons and Hawks have all been here for over 50 years, and most people are like me and wouldn't notice if the Hawks left town.

So, Atlanta has lost two big 4 franchises, both of them hockey teams. Boston has lost the Redskins and Braves.

Nope. Saying the Matthews played for the Milwaukee Braves as opposed to the Atlanta Braves.

I thought you were saying it’s extra impressive for Acuna since the other two to accomplish what Acuna has played for teams that relocated over 50 years ago.

I grew up a Milwaukee Braves fan and #41 Eddie Matthew's was my boyhood hero.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Acuna with #41 tonight. If he didn’t go into that month long slump from Mid-August until recently I think he could have challenged Bellinger and Yelich for MVP... still a great season for Ron

Might explain why they build new stadiums about every 15 years

Turner Field was a concerted stadium from the Olympics that had a lot of problems that the city wouldn’t address, and it was in a bad neighborhood on the south side of town, where the largest chunk of season ticket holders were in the north metro. Having the battery and apartment buildings provides an extra revenue stream to help make up for having the worst tv contract in sports

and it attracts bombs

Acuna's in some great company there for sure. 2 Hall of Famers and a guy that could very well make it some day.

Gotta get there first. Needs some singles & then the guys hitting behind him to be patient.

the nfl competes with college football in the south. well, they try. i think if the falcons left it wouldnt be a big deal.

Georgia football is by far the biggest sports draw in the state, even in down years, there’s 93,000 in the stands and we travel as well as any fan base for road games. It wouldn’t be a crushing blow if the Falcons left, but it would leave a bit of a void.

But UGA football and the Braves are the two most important to most.

Acuna hurt his hip. The 40/40 chase is gonna come up 3 SB short.


He should have run against the Giants instead of trying to follow bullshit “unwritten rules”

agreed. "unwritten rules" are the biggest farce of baseball.
