So FFF appears to be in postseason form.

This is about as subtle a disguise as Bobby Valentine wearing a mustache after being thrown out of a game

Obviously a great comeback last night, but my biggest takeaway from it was Folty. Not even the fact that he gave up 3 homers, 6 runs, and 9 hits. His fastball was sitting at 89-91. He claimed after the game that it was "because of the elements". The weather was shit and it was an exhibition, but it shouldn't be taking 6-8 mph off his fastball. That is concerning.

Don’t worry guys. Luke Jackson looks like he’s already in mid season form.

Kept tabs on the game. Saw Luke Jackson came in, immediately gets shelled and gives up 2 runs.

Braves baseball is back, baby!

Boy, that was money well spent.

60 games is such a crap shoot though, I could see us finishing 4th in the division or winning the World Series and anything in between

Am I a fair-weather fan if I think this is fairly likely?

Maybe not 4th, but I could see 2nd or 3rd easily

It's very possible. Soroka and Fried are our only starters I have confidence in, and there's no way around it, we're gonna miss Donaldson's production.

That's what they get for refusing to spend money to upgrade starting pitching but instead go for an old guy that's been busted up for the last few years.

Flowers and D’arnaud each showing symptoms but tested negative. Will both be sitting out today.

So who is catching today? That’s both our catchers in majors

Hopefully either William Contreras or Shea Langeliers, but probably Alex Jackson.
