Atlanta Braves Mailbag: Is the Arcia and Harper Drama Necessary?

The drama from last year’s postseason series between the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies seems to have carried over to this year – should it have?

Other questions are about the best lineup going forward, is Jason Heyward an upgrade over Adam Duvall, and which Braves players acquired this year could stick around in 2025.

After a big series win over the Phillies, can the Braves keep the momentum going at home against the Washington Nationals?

  3. No it’s not necessary but if my guy feels like doing it, I’m fine with it. Arcia is an outstanding player for the Braves. He is our teammate and we should support him. He makes unbelievable plays for the team and has hit some clutch hits for the team over the years and this years as well. You have been predicting his downfall for years now but he simply continues to play well for Atlanta. Finds someone else to blame Arcia can stare him down all he wants.

  6. Bryce Harper is literally the ONLY baseball player I genuinely dislike and this whole thing is a great example of why. Harper made a huge blunder that cost his team a playoff game. Arcia, not even talking to him makes an excited, off the cuff response. He should be excited. He just won a playoff game in an exciting finish. It was surprising to see a great ball player like Harper mess up so bad in such a critical moment. Whatever on to the next one.
    NOPE! Bryce Harper decides to get pissy about it and turn it into a feud. So yes, Bryce Harper can bite me. Schwarber, Turner, Bohm I wish them all the best whenever they are not playing us. I hope Bryce Harper goes on an 0 for 100 skid and quits baseball in his bottomless depression. Also ha ha, Spencer Schwellenbach owns you!

  7. The whole thing started from some leaked locker room talk (which was a really lame thing to do). If they wanna keep beefing it's whatever but it's honestly the fault of the guy who originally published it, guys can't even talk trash in the locker room anymore without it becoming national news apparently.

  8. On 1 hand I'm worried about the starring competition not working out in our favor on the other I don't want my boys playing worried scared or feeling insecure. So heck yeah Do It just make sure you kick their but . Especially if they meet again in the playoffs

  9. Yes it is for baseball! Specially in the playoffs. This is heathy for baseball and our teams. brings more revenue to both teams, people want to see this stuff. Is good for both teams and baseball.

  12. Anything that shows Bryce Harper messing up or anybody hitting a home run and staring at him I love it because I can't stand him when he was with the Washington Nationals he hit a home run against the Braves in Atlanta he came back and stomped on the Braves logo and I've hated him ever since.

  13. No that's not Arcia's fault. That's a snake reporter trying to make a name for himself with something that really wasn't even that big of a deal. There's a reason most reporters don't go around fishing for any authentic comments in the vein help a guy says something. That dude's a snake and deserves zero privileges from anyone. You think the Phillies weren't saying the same or worse in their own clubhouse after every win in that series. Yet magically no quotes made headlines?
