I wouldn't be surprised if this is his worst pro year by far.

It's his opinion. I don't agree with it, I think Acuna is just going through a slump the way every hitter in Major League history has gone through, but if he thinks that then so be it.

I won't be shocked.
I look forward to seeing him up and years of him in a Braves jersey.

Braves win 2-1. Teheran picks up a win, his best outing this season. Still gave up another HR and walks too many though.

At this point I've seen enough from Teheran where I just hope that an outing like this ups the trade value a bit. He's too prone to implode to consistently rely upon.

Yeah I'd like to see him do well enough, that we can move him at the deadline. Find a home for Teheran and Markakis and improve our bullpen.

You know that as soon as he strings a few good starts together though that this fanbase will scream not to move him the way they did in 2016 when the Red Sox were looking, the way they did with Cameron Maybin after a hot start, the way they did with even Matt Adams last season.

Who cares? Hopefully AA doesn't listen. I think we should have traded Teheran in 2016 and even thought about it before that season.

I hope AA pays no mind to the fans at all. I have no doubt in my mind that Coppy cared about what the fanbase thought way too much.

Tonight should be another win for us.
Maybe I'm becoming too positive when I expect us to win.
Go Braves!!

We won the series but may have lost Freeman to the same wrist injury he had last year. If he's on the shelf for 6 weeks again this season is gonna go south in a hurry.
