How will Braves fans react to Jeff Francoeur's return to Turner Field

I’d cheer him the first time at bat, just to show some love for the guy. After that, I just enjoy the game, and boo him if he started hurting us ;-)

Put boo but would chear. He tried to be a good player and he has a hot wife so its all good. Plus he’s on the Mets and is their problem now.

Wouldn’t give him reason to even show he matters. He took some shots at the fans the past year and a half, and I lost a little respect for him when he did that.. other than that he’s your typical right handed less than mediocre right fielder not to mention a met now..why cheer? :-)

I really think MOST of his quotes were misdirected and he’s really a good guy.

I’ll be at the game tonight. I fully intend to cheer at his first AB, and then, as others have said, move on. I’ve bitched and bitched about him dragging our offense down, but it seems to me that he always represented the club well in other aspects and appears to be a good guy. We should all wish him the best and wish that he never come back.

(forgive my copy/paste – but my feelings haven’t changed since I commented on the other thread asking this same question)

From what I read, a lot if not most Braves fans feel it’s best Frenchy is playing for another team. Some feel he acted and spoke selfishly and immaturely at times while here. While not professional at all, I think perhaps it came more from a lack of maturity than malice.

I get the feeling he’s pretty much been a spoiled brat for a very long time and used to getting his way. His early success in sports, big smile and demeanor made people want to like him ever since he was a young kid in school. So when things didn’t go like he expected them to (especially after breaking into the ML with fanfare and success), he pouted and got frustrated. As time goes on, life and baseball still has lessons to teach Frenchy. Hopefully they will help mature him and he’ll come to know it’s not always all about him.

As far as booing his first at bat? Well, I for one would not if I were there because I don’t think at this point that Frenchy has dissed the Braves publicly about this trade …but more importantly, as a Braves fan, I wouldn’t want to act or sound rude like Mets fans sometimes do.

However, I do have to be honest and say if he hits a homer, a grand slam or otherwise single-handedly turns on the offense to win the game – I’d have to Boo then as I would ANY guy wearing a Met uniform.

I’d cheer. Although probably sarcastically. He’s been nothing but a headache since his first full season.

I’ll be there tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday. I’ll give him some applause tonight, but honestly, couldn’t care less after that.

I put boo, but I’ve had a change of heart. Seriously, I couldn’t care less. I’d be indifferent when he comes to at bat.

But it doesn’t mean I’m not happy he’s gone.

I’ll hold onto the memories of when he hit the HR in his first at bat and how I jumped up and ran around and tripped over my dog sleeping on the floor, that’s how I’ll remember Francouer. Everything else is sad….

They should cheer.
And they will cheer.

I would cheer for the fact that he was announced as a Met. You typically cheer when something good happens for your team. So every time he steps to the plate, I would cheer since we just recorded another out.

I am going to boo. And loudly

A. – HES A MET
B. – His OBP remarks still make me cringe
C. – His potshots at teammates around him in the lineup
D. – His whining when DFA’d
E. – His continual dragging down of said lineup for 3 years
F. – HES A MET

Either that or I’ll just sit and listen like I do any other player.

frenchy and wright look like bffs.

 souvenir braves cards are as follows:
a, lowe
2- kelly
3- kotchman
4- diaz
5- gonzo
6- ga
7- fail
8- jv
9- esco
10-chipper
j-jurrjens
q-heap
k-cox

I would give him a one-handed clap.

I was booing him when he was still a Brave.

So obviously I’ll continue to do so now that he’s a Met.

Because the Braves and their true fans have class.
