Atlanta Braves 2021 Season Thread

Webslingr

An inauspicious start indeed...I know it's a long season, 162 games and all that. But...

0-4, and correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we lose 2 'Opening Day' walkoffs....without playing a double-header...not sure if that's ever happened before. And oh yeah, lost the All-Star Game too...all in the first week of the season. Yikes....the GA Sports Curse seems to be alive and well in 2021:(

p.s. Sorry bout the melancholy nature of this first-post of the Season thread...but kinda matches my mood right now.

p.s.s. I don't really believe in sports curses. I mean....I'm a rational man, a mathematician, and a proponent of the scientific-method in general. But man...this one tests my resolve on a yearly basis:)

p.s.s.s. Go Braves !!!

BTW, Braves fans, Tom Glavine, a man who knows something about World Series wins, picked the Braves in six! May be a little tougher now, but I liked it!!

Go Braves!

Makes winning tonight even more important. We need wins in games where we have solid rested starters going. Of course whenever we've needed to do anything special the last couple of months this team has figured out a way.

If we can get back to Atlanta 2-0 it would take pressure off our pitching staff. I guess it was a bit lucky Morton made it far enough to help put the team in this position. Smyly might rise to the occasion and give us some critical innings.

I think he’s capable of 3-4. You have to assume their offense will dominate one game and ours another. Lots of baseball to be played. Exciting start though.

As mentioned several times by announcers in recent days. The Braves are 12-2 in the last 14 games started by Max Fried. The only 2 losses came against The Dodgers in LA. Hopefully he'll be his usual dominant self tonight. When his curve is breaking late and he is spotting a couple of his other pitches, he's about as good as anybody.

Win tonight and go home for 3 games, I'll like our chances, even with the thin corp of starting pitchers.

Cause Georgia football is the onlyest thing in the world worth discussing.

Some posters need to lighten up on this off topic nonsense. Even in a church on Sunday there are discussions that are non-Biblical in nature. So maybe take that holy stick out of your @#$%.

I think the UGA WR comment was simply a joke about how many injuries we've had at WR this year.

I was agreeing with what I believed to be sarcasm by Donm. He seemed to be poking fun at those who only discuss Georgia football on this board and take offense at posters who have other interests.

GO BRAVES !
