Atlanta Braves - Official Opening Weekend Thread (Phi @ ATL, 3/29-3/31)

EDITED TITLE - After this weekend we can have weekly threads but figured a dedicated one to opening weekend was appropriate.
Might as well close up shop on the offseason thread.
Right now there are still 30 players on the active roster. Once it's whittled down to 25, I'll post the opening day roster here.
My prediction is that the Bravos finish 84-78 and 5 games back in the Wild Card race.

Ruiz, Sanchez, and Santana were sent down so it appears that the roster is set:
Infield:
Ozzie, Culberson, Flaherty, Freeman, Dansbae
Outfield:
Adams, Bourjos, Ender, Nick, and Tucker
Catcher:
Flowers, Stewart, and Suzuki
SP:
Folty, Teheran, McCarthy, Newcomb
RP:
Brothers, Carle, Moylan, Winkler, Freeman, Ramirez, Minter, and Vizcaino
We won't really need a 5th starter until April 17th. It doesn't appear that Gohara will be ready by then, so I'd imagine we'll either see Fried or Sanchez called up at that point. Once that happens, and assuming Camargo has healed up and is already back, I think you'll see the following:
IF:
Camargo, Freeman, Dansbae, Ozzie, Flaherty, Culberson
OF:
Acuna, Markakis, Ender, Tucker, Bourjos
C:
Flowers, Suzuki
SP:
Teheran, Folty, McCarthy, Newcomb, Fried
RP:
Brothers, Moylan, Winkler, Freeman, Ramirez, Minter, and Vizcaino

Ozzie, Culberson, Flaherty, Freeman, Dansbae

Can’t wait. Would be nice to give the Phillies a dick kick to start the year right.
Aside from all of the obvious I’m interested to see how Julio starts and does this year.

Do we want to attempt to have individual game threads on this board or would you all rather just participate in the one on the MSB? I know we don't get a lot of traffic either, so we could always just keep this thread running with game by game discussions.

Maybe individual series threads or weekly threads

Double header on Saturday if today is a washout?
Posted on 3/29/18 at 8:24 am to VinegarStrokes
I think they'll only win 76-77 ballgames but the 2nd half should be exciting. First month or so could be rough.

Today should be good - rain isn't supposed to start until 8 or 9 and the game is at 415

Not sure that kind of improvement is possible for this team, but I’m on board!
Working from home this afternoon so I don’t miss the first pitch!
