The 2025 season officially kicks off tomorrow (Feb 12) as the Braves pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training. The regular lineup players report on Feb 18. Let's hope that Atlanta can stay healthy this year and that the hitters can return to the form that made them one of the feared lineups in baseball.

.@Braves skipper Brian Snitker joined us with the latest on Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. as they continue their recoveries from season-ending surgeries.#MLBNHotStove | @SageUSAmerica pic.twitter.com/L8e4bCPO1p

Interesting note from Snit on early season trades.....

Today’s generation will never comprehend the power of basic cable television in the 80s. If you doubt it, I’ll have you know there are members of the 1982 Atlanta Braves that I still consider extended family. pic.twitter.com/nCrxqtSXLn

Ronald Acuna jr. just spoke to us for the first time since his acl surgery and he did a majority of it in English.

He says he feels 90-95 % in regards to running and cutting. He says he needs to take it easy but it will be hard once I get on base.#ForTheA #braves pic.twitter.com/L8KonJe3Pg

A couple of big-time reinforcements will be back with the @Braves 🔜

Brian Snitker says Spencer Strider is "checking all the boxes" and Ronald Acuña Jr. is back "in his element playing baseball".@LGRed | #MLBTonight pic.twitter.com/n7RgEgqJLI

Strider is throwing a side with batters in the box. They aren't swinging at pitches. He's still not cleared for live BP.
