Hmmm, AJ pitching the same day as Elder really does confuse me. I figured it was because they weren’t in sync but looks like that isn’t the case. Maybe they figure he will get more confidence working on stuff in Gwinett than in the majors?
I agree that the name Braves is "fine" for you and me, but we're not whose feelings should be taken into consideration when determining who this minimizes. It's a term coined by colonialists to describe their foe while expanding the U.S. territories. It may seem honorary in the eyes of non natives, but you might as well call them "Some of the good ones."
If you haven't noticed, Dang Chi, our great and peerless country -- fortunate to be born out of British colonialism rather than some other -- is in a traditionalist ascendancy right now. The feelings unleashed by a name change would spawn an enormous backlash. Let's stick to baseball around here.

In his defense, I'm the one that brought it up.
