I'm not getting ready to slash my wrists or go jump off a tall building... but anybody who says that throwing 87 mph 4 seam FBs in the LAST ST start before the regular season isn't concerning is either lying or naive. So, yes, color me "concerned."

Now, if he comes out in his first regular season start and is pumping 94 on the 4s FB, I will gladly eat my plate of crow.

89.7 for Lopez' fastball - that's average changeup speed for many MLB pitchers. No way to gloss over it: the vaunted rotation is already in trouble. Maybe Fuentes will come to the rescue with a break out. Or maybe not. Then how many DFA's will AA bring in for tryouts?

Regarding Braves Vision, I have been getting my games via FUBO the past years (Balley and FanDuel). If BravesVision is not going to be on FUBO this year I need to cancel my subscription (even though I can get MASNOrioles games). Why is Atlanta keeping us in the dark about this? I live in rural NC and cannot get Charlotte TV with over air signal. By the way , I checked and Gray media listed channel 3.3 WBTV in Charlotte as carrying Braves games but that was not the case (I checked).
