    Here we are just weeks away from opening day, and Spring Training well underway. The Braves are looking to build on a playoff run last season, that saw the end of icon Chipper Jones' career with a controversial "Infield Fly" call to end the season of the Braves and their fans in the one-game Wild Card.

    Now, 2013 sees the new faces of the organization in Jason Heyward, BJ Upton, Justin Upton and Brian McCann look to take charge in the NL East and head deeper into the playoffs once October rolls around.

    Let's hear it Braves Fans! THIS IS WHY WE CHOP!​

    Maybe the braves will have a few sellouts this year without the help of opposing fans ? :dunno:

    Justin Upton been killing it in ST. They started out slow and are coming around. McCann won't be back til late April, early May. But, I'm excited about this team.

    Great start last night. 3 homers? Freeman with 3-4 night and 3 RBI. Huddy looked a bit shaky, but its early.

    He is. And the team isn't even healthy or playing to full potential yet. Heyward is slumping. Uggla is..well..Uggla-ing it. McCann isn't back yet. BJ is still slow out the gate. Yet, 7-1? No complaints, because they are finding ways to win and the pitching has been very good so far.

    My guess is that Laird will be the odd man out. Despite his contract, Gattis has proven himself. And the Braves are strikeout prone and will have the slumps but as long as it isn't extended. 17-10 isn't a bad start at all. Definitely could be worse. We certainly wish the 12-1 start to the season could have continued further or start again, but that's just how baseball is. 162 games, you can't win 'em all.

    Glad to see Beachy back, even after the rocky outing. Hope we didn't see Huddy in his last Braves game. Feel bad for him. Loving the production of the team, and even during struggles, keeping their head up. 11 games up? Cannot really compain.

    Only team with a comfortable position in the division standings, but they're still not relaxing with it, great sign.
