Atlanta Braves Being Dismantled

[2Stater]

...
Yeah, I'm sure that will help. 

ANY good news from the Braves changes??  I'd enjoy watching the Braves win again.

   Any?

Concession prices were not increased? There will be plenty of empty seats in the stadium making it easier to find a good spot to watch a game?


 

A buddy of mine went to a game last summer and paid $32 for 2 hot dogs and 2 Cokes. He said he won't be back. He always went to several games each year.

Well you might buy a nosebleed seat ticket and then slide down behind home plate or on the baseline somewhere. You know the Braves will not draw till they win and then if they are winning you will not get a seat. RTR!

Update on strikeout artist BJ Upton.

B.J. Upton has played his final game with the Atlanta Braves after two frustrating seasons.

The man formerly known as B.J. Upton will spend the next season going by Melvin Upton Jr.

Yeah, I am sure that is what it will take for him to hit above the Mendoza line.

Even Mendoza didn't strike out 171 times………………as leadoff hitter no less.

More info on the 2015 Braves.

Nick Markakis, OF: Signed to 4-year deal in December after posting .290/.358/.435 line in 9 seasons in Baltimore. Will be counted on to hit in middle of order.

Shelby Miller, RHP: Penciled in as No. 3 starter after being acquired in Heyward deal. Former No. 1 pick had 3.33 ERA in two-plus seasons with St. Louis.

Jonny Gomes, OF: Signed to one-year contract in January. Has career .861 OPS vs. lefties, so look for him to platoon in left field.

Eric Young, OF: Likely other half of left-field platoon and probable leadoff hitter vs. right-handers. Led NL in steals in 2013 with Mets, but hit poorly last season.

A.J. Pierzynski, C: Fiery veteran could back Bethancourt, or become starter if youngster needs more seasoning. Had career-worst year at plate in 2014, posting .625 OPS.

Albert Callaspo, 2B/3B: Switch-hitter could either hold down full-time 2B job or platoon with Chris Johnson at 3B. Won't wow anyone with bat, but durable and versatile.

Jason Grilli, RHP: Former Pirates closer will look to take over top set-up role from departed Walden. Could also be July trade bait if he excels.

Jim Johnson, RHP: Led AL in saves two straight seasons with Baltimore, but bottom fell out after deal to Oakland last year. Another possible trade chip if he regains form.

Josh Outman, LHP: Has been solid middle reliever since converting from starter two years ago. Will challenge Avilan, Russell for top lefty role.

Are these guys over-the-hill or potential steals?

I heard that AJP was a cancer to the White Sox a few years back. Don't need any of that.

Crap, the last thing the Braves need.

Jim Johnson bottomed out before he got to Oakland. He led the in saves in 2011 and 2012, but couldn't hit the broadside of a barn in 2013, which is why the O's sent him to Oakland.

I get the feeling that a Braves game ticket will be much cheaper this year and the price of concessions may go down as well.

Sadly, I expect the Braves to lose at least 90 games & end up with a record like 70-92, 68-94, etc. Sad, fast fall due mainly incompetent management. Concession prices won't drop either.

I don't know, J, they've got to pay for that new ball park somehow.

Well I gotta agree with MD. I really don't look for a good season, and my question is why don't they get rid of this management and get some new people that know Baseball? RTR!

The Braves are not being dismantled, but utterly destroyed. This is absolutely unbelievable.

The San Diego Padres pulled off another blockbuster trade on the eve of opening day, acquiring All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel and outfielder Melvin Upton from the Atlanta Braves for outfielders Carlos Quentin and Cameron Maybin, plus two minor leaguers and a draft pick.

John Hart has lost his freaking mind. This team is on the verge of returning to pre-1991 status. Re-building is one thing; exploding the whole dang team is another. Getting rid Justin Upton and Heyward were bad enough, but now you get rid of perhaps the best closer in the game? 

Please let the O's play well this year, or otherwise this baseball season is going to stink.

I need a new team.  Braves are dead.
Who are these O's of which you speak??
