Our Beloved Atlanta Braves lost in heartbreaking fashion…

…again. There are numerous fingers to point, Fredi Gonzalez‘s management of the bullpen and/or leaving Michael Foltynewicz in too long, Folty himself, Brandon Cunniff, Luis Avilan, but the one that seems to be the scapegoat flavor of the day, and deservedly so, is Christian Bethancourt.

Dippin’ Dots have been donned the “Ice Cream of the Future” since 1988 when Microbiologist Curt Jones finalized his recipe for cryogenically frozen ice cream into little tiny balls of deliciousness. As we all know, much like Dippin’ Dots, Bethancourt has been heralded for the better part of a decade as the Braves catcher of the future. But, as I’ve wondered for so long now about Dippin’ Dots and now with Christian Bethancourt, when will either drop their future title, and eventually become a thing of the present, then past?
