I am a Braves fan, too, and used to watch all of their games online once TBS stopped carrying them. They have been so bad the last couple of years that I don't do it anymore! I still can't believe that management deliberately destroyed the team a few years ago!

Same here. Its been tough to be a Braves fan. Notwithstanding all of the trades these past few years, I still try to give management the benefit of the doubt. Still, I can name on sight more ‘Gnats, Cubbies, and Indians players than I can Braves.

The front office tore it down to rebuild the franchise.
Now, the team has the number one farm system in baseball with a 19 y/o potential generational talent in AAA.
You witnessed a glimpse of the future today. Fried pitched amazing. Swanson, Albies, and Ruiz all contributed with the bat and glove today.
AJ Minter has electric stuff out of the bullpen and with eventually be the future closer.
Last but not least the team still has the face of the franchise in Freddie and a top center fielder in Inciarte.
If you want to see what the Braves will look like in a season or two just take a gander at the Astros.

Started before that. This team traded Adam Wainwright to St. Louis for Burger King and JD Drew 15 years ago. Then they traded ace pitcher Kevin Millwood for Johnny Estrada. Then they appointed the idiot who did it to be team president. I call them the “Jokes” or the “Jesters” not the Braves.
Now they are eliminating walk up traffic to their new stadium. They are an amazing trainwreck. I quit watching them years ago. Can’t stand the stink.
