    The biggest thing that I'm pulling from this argument is that those who oppose the stadium actually live in Atlanta. So for all you guys traveling into town to catch a game, location is negligible. But for the rest of us, the Barves took something that was convenient and, in our view, unnecessarily fucked it all up.

    I could not care less about the Ted.

    Hate the location. Makes me sad. Makes me hate the braves. I used to love them. Watch 162 games a year then cry in the playoffs.

    I'd like to see Bobby Cox strangle whatever fuck did this like he did his wife

    Add Athens to that, Turner was easy to get to in about an hour and fifteen minutes. It's a minimum of two hours to the new stadium with traffic.

    Prospect Report so far:


    Atlanta Braves


    1. [​IMG]

      Top Prospects in MLB Camp

      1. SS Dansby Swanson (7-for-16, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 5 R)

      6. LHP Sean Newcomb (1.0 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 0 BB, 1 K)

      8. OF Ronald Acuna (6-for-11, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 2 R)

      9. LHP Max Fried (3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K)

      10. 2B Travis Demeritte (1-for-11, 1 R, 1 SB)



      Notes
      • "Sometimes I find myself lumping him in with the veteran guys. The kid’s way above his years," manager Brian Snitker said of Dansby Swanson to Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
      • Left-hander Max Fried returned strong from Tommy John surgery last season and appears to be back on track, as he looks to deliver on the potential that made him the No. 7 overall pick in the 2012 draft.
      • When you consider that Ronald Acuna has played just 40 games above the rookie league level, what he's done so far this spring is all the more impressive.

    Live in Macon. The move fucked us. Could get from north Macon to Turner field in literally an hour. Will probably double that to get to SunTrust.

    People talked about his stuff but he's got two pitches - a straight fastball that is typically in the low 90's and always at the belt and a little slider he also throws at the belt.

    He needs to learn to cut it or sink it, throw it to the bottom of the zone, and probably develop a changeup. Considering the likelihood of all three of those things happening are slim to none, I'm not sure he ever amounts to much.

    This post makes me think maybe I've underestimated how much value will be created for the Braves by really solidifying their standing with the conversationally racist demographic.

    Pre-sale was bullshit. Nobodies code worked for the first 15 min., obviously so they could let the scalpers in first. Then when it did open up, opening day allotment was gone. And for all games they only provided a handful of sections to purchase. I wanted chophouse terrace damnit.

    KISSIMMEE, Fla.—Taking part in his first big league camp, lefthander Max Fried wasted no time making a positive impression.

    The 23-year-old appeared as a reliever in the sixth inning against the Tigers and promptly retired Miguel Cabrera and J.D. Martinez on groundouts and struck out Justin Upton. His fastball touched 95 mph and his curveball featured sharp break.

    “Just being able to go out there and compete and play again is so special,” said Fried, who missed most of 2014 and all of 2015 after having Tommy John surgery. “At the end of last season it was a little tough to have to go home because I was hitting my stride for the first time in my career. But I’m looking forward to having all of that continue.”

    Selected seventh overall in 2012 by the Padres, Fried struggled early in his career before the Los Angeles prep product was traded to the Braves after the 2014 season as part of the deal that sent Upton to San Diego.

    One of several high-upside prospects acquired by general manager John Coppolella, Fried showed last year at low Class A Rome how electric he can be when healthy. He made 21 appearances and went 8-7, 3.93 with 112 strikeouts in 103 innings.

    “Last year I went through a phase where I was relearning myself,” Fried said. “Taking a couple of years off due to an injury isn’t the most ideal situation. Then trying to go out and compete when you haven’t done that in a long time is definitely tough.


    “During the second half I started to feel like myself and really got comfortable on the mound.”

    Fried said both his fastball and curveball were inconsistent in terms of velocity and location in the first half. By the end of the year he felt both offerings were as good as ever.

    The key now is for Fried to continue fine-tuning his pitches and to make adjustments. He believes his added maturity and healthy arm should lead to more success.

    WIGWAM WISPS

    • Braves manager Brian Snitker liked what he saw from righthanded reliever Akeel Morris in his spring debut. He keeps hitters off balance with an outstanding changeup.

    • The Braves reached an agreement with Sarasota County to relocate their spring headquarters to North Point, Fla., in 2019. The $75.4 million facility would include a 6,500-seat stadium, six practice fields and two half-fields.
