Braves 5, Yankees 1–Game One Recap and Nightcap Game Thread

And you make all your animal deals
And your wise men don’t know how it feels
To be thick as a brick

When it comes to pitching prospects, I’m the opposite of our own Chief Nocahoma. Some on here accuse Chief of being unduly pessimistic about all prospects. I will admit to irrational optimism. I fully realize TINSTAAPP; that expression summarizes much of my Braves fandom for the first 25 years of Atlanta Braves history. But then along came Glavine, Smoltz, and Avery—three homegrown pitching prospects who blossomed into a rotation that took the Braves to the World Series in 1991 and 1992.
