Atlanta Crackers is the name the team deserves for a multitude of reasons, not least of which is the fact that your racist ownership moved the stadium way out to Cobb ~*for some reason*~.

in grand Atlanta tradition, the area the original Atlanta Crackers played in is now hipster gentrified to all hell, so a return to this name works on a multitude of levels.

e: the ballpark had a giant magnolia tree in the field of play that's still there to this day, which is kinda cool.

Jackson didn’t cost us that game only because Matzek pitched out of his loving mind, straight up Rick Vaughning an incredible fastball hitter to punctuate it.

He’s washed.

Also yeah getting out of Turner sucked but it wasn’t a reason to build an inaccessible baseball megalopolis in the whitest part of Atlanta while demolishing a 25 year old stadium.

It wasn’t necessary and Turner was great. It was nice being in the city.

After Acuña went down I thought we were done. I think Houston flash fries us but I thought the dodgers would do the same so :shrug:

It’s just ridiculous that his entire shtick for years has been “lol racism, gently caress you CHOP” and all the mods ever do is slap him with the occasional month-long probe. Just perma him already, this poo poo never changes.

Unless McCullers miraculously comes back the Braves have such an edge in pitching I could easily see them winning

It's like the 90s where even though the Astros offense rolled through the league they'd get clamped down by Smoltz, Maddux and Glavine

Looks like I'll be the Astros fan that is confident going into this series. Other than Charlie Morton (which sucks that we have to face him...love him), the other guys seem to have been beatable by equal or lesser line-ups than the Astros. I also think Framber & Gracia continue their recent success. Homefield advantage is huge, since it seems the Braves don't lose at Truist.
