Anyone interested in a running Braves thread? At the very least it will be a good place to post this gif 15-20 times over the next few months.

LOL, literally texted that to our group text after Saturday's game.

Then we let a AAAA player beat us on one swing.

Remember Andruw's rise through 3 levels of minor league ball to reach the majors in 96? Can you imagine the online fapping that would have taken place if these message boards were around in the 90s? Along those same lines, if someone like Tom Glaving were coming up today, he would have been long gone before winning his first Cy Young (see how people react to Wisler/Blair sucking for partial seasons to see how Glavine would have been treated).

A+ (Durham) - 66 games, 289 PAs, 65 Runs, 17 HRs, 43 RBI, 16 SBs, .313/.419/.605

AA (Greenville) - 38 games, 176 PAs, 39 Runs, 12 HRs, 37 RBI, 12 SB, .369/.432/.675

AAA (Richmond) - 12 games, 46 PAs, 11 Runs, 5 HRs, 12 RBI, 2 SB, .378/.391/.822

you have this entire forum. Why use a single thread for the entire season?

Because game to game it's nice just to having a running conversation.

I don't really care either way. Just glad to have a place for some Braves chatter.

Yep - that crew got whipped up and down the street in from 1988-1990 (Smoltz even into 1991).

I understand. The issue with longer/multiple games threads is that it is hard to find where the current game discussion starts. The title might be updated to reflect the current game but the current game discussion starts on say page 57. Single game threads are so much easier to follow imo.

Agree - definitely not advocating for a "game thread" type thing. At least I'm not advocating being in charge of it haha.
