Three games into a long season and Braves manager Walt Weiss received a bit of confirmation about the strength of his club as he watched the team take a series from the Royals.
Despite a 4-1 loss Sunday in the finale of a three-game set, Weiss echoed his spring training sentiments about how much he likes the team he has under his watch.
