Atlanta Braves Strive to Overcome Bad Fortunes

Ah. The smell of the grass is different during the regular season. The intensity of the crowd on Opening Day is unmatched, even playing on the road. The Atlanta Braves come into this season a bit flustered, with the loss of three key pitchers to Tommy John surgery during Spring Training. However, optimism is king in Atlanta, as fans look towards a young core of pitchers to step up in lieu of Kris Medlen, Brandon Beachy, and Cory Gearrin. To open the season, the Braves take on the Milwaukee Brewers, who are also looking at a promising season with the return of the now tainted Ryan Braun and a good set of veteran arms. Julio Teheran, the Braves' projected third starter, takes the mound with an unmatched confidence. Pitching for the Brewers is veteran journeyman Kyle Lohse. Lets take a look at how the game went:

Next up are the Brewers again, with a pitching matchup of the former UGA standout Alex Wood against the former Minnesota Twins prospect Matt Garza. Stay tuned for more posts and results. Thanks.

P.S. Special thanks to M.K. Knight for the release of the OSFM V.1 rosters, which led me to start this franchise.
