Braves fans....

...what happened to Acuna? Looks like he just got hurt stepping on the first base bag, similar to what happened with Elko at Ole Miss.

Probably nothing. Acuna is a great player, and he's a great part time actor

I have thought Acuña was out for the year about 15 times in the last few years

Same. But this whole team is getting harder and harder to watch. Acuna and Freddie have the power numbers and that's about it. Acuna's average is dropping steadily. Freddie, Dansby, and Ozuna are all low .200s. Riley had one good week and other than that has been garbage. CF position gives us nothing. Smyly and Morton have both been pretty terrible and the bullpen is shite. Ian Anderson has been steady. The ONLY bright spot so far has been Ynoa and who knows if that is a fluke or not.

The only saving grace is that the division is all bunched up. But even if the Braves win the division or snag a wildcard, it looks nothing like last year.

I won't lie and say I'm not concerned, but it is still early. I keep having to pinch myself to remind me it's 162 games this year, not the full blown sprint of last year. I think the braves start making a move soon now that some pen pieces are about to be in place, ozuna won't be this bad too much longer, and fried is getting going.

Just got bad news on Soroka, right? The Braves kinda need that guy back.

I wouldn't count on soroka helping this year

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

He stepped on the bag with his right foot (i think), but his left ankle is the one that was hurt. He was rotating it before walking off the field, so hopefully just rolled it...

 

[DoomSlayer]

Honestly I don’t think you can ever really count on him again, it wouldn’t surprise me if he never throws another pitch for Atlanta.

I was just about to ask if any Braves fans are starting to panic yet. You guys are clearly the most talented team in the division and I’m sure will be fine over the course of the season. But it’s been a rocky start.

It doesn’t have the je ne sais quoi of Leach’s but we have room on the Cardinals’ bandwagon for you weary souls.
