We are now well past the point in which we as fans are getting fed up that we will miss our Atlanta Braves on the field. We've now lost an entire Spring of Acuna and Albies, Soroka and Swanson, Freddie and Fried; and that's time we won't get back... ever.
Once we do see baseball on the field, it's now more likely than ever that it will be under some form of duress and we're liable to see a lot of players more grumpy than glad. It's also bound to set up a round of talks in December of 2021 that's filled with even more divisiveness and catty comments than we're seeing now.
