    Dude I am floored by the progress Dansby has made. I know its still a super small sample, but something looks different with him. He looks very confident at the plate. He looks like a number 1 pick.

    He is not flailing at the plate. He sees it, he hits it and will go opp if he has to.

    mossy, you are a great person and poster and a passionate Braves fan but Kimbrel is not what he used to be and his asking price is way too high and we lose a pick. He is not worth that and to be honest, I don't think he would be the best pitcher in the bullpen. He might be in Viz level range, if that. That is the reason Boston let him go. He does not have what he had when he was with us because he was younger. Pitchers that throw gas and not have really great second and third pitches tend to be situational pitchers. I am not saying he has got there now, but he is on the path and you don't pay that much money for pitchers like that and give up a draft pick.

    That is what people are saying.

    If he wants 8 to 10 mil, for two years each, I would sign him, but not what he is wanting.

    I tweeted Frenchy to see if he can find out if the problem is on the Braves end. I almost think it could be because when they show the TV game replay they just show commercials for however long the blackout was and then it just all of a sudden comes back on two innings later like nothing ever happened for me it was down from the commercials after Donaldson’s great defensive play to end the top of the eighth until Freddie leading off the bottom of the 9th today.

    If I could trust you guys to get around things I would show you how to watch the game but not on TV, but on your computer. I could patch it to the TV but it is too much work.

    There is a risk and I would feel responsible to show you how as some things can happen and I don't want to be in trouble and you come after me. The Russians/Chinese/Indians and others try and hit my firewall.

    Research it and you can obtain the games. I have no interruptions, maybe a porn boob or two sex act on a side window and that is it. I just close it because I am too old for that crap.

    It is 1040p as well.

    The Nats beat the Mets 12-9, but holy hell the Nats just gave up a three-run bomb in the bottom of the frame. This team's bullpen is WAY worse than ours.

    No Braves blackouts and porn, I’m liking the sound of this.

    People used to just share/split costs of MLB.TV accounts here. Probably should do it again.

    They cut down on that, like Netflix, Hulu and Prime.

    I have other ways. Come on, I am IT, I can get around these things.

    I won't tell you because all feeds are watched by those in other countries and I don't know if you can defend yourselves, I can.

    It showed the blacked out parts on FOXSportsGO when I rewound to check and it’s through my DIRECTV account, something fishy is definitely going on with DIRECTV / AT&T on the satellite side of operations.

    Please guys, don't fight, we won.

    Let the FO continue with the lineups, we got blitz by the Phillies because we weren't prepared and had what two rookie pitchers, what do you expect?

    We lost one to the Marlins on a mis-location of a pitch. It happens.

    We do not need to fight among ourselves.

    Really? I thought it was still like 2-3 people could share it. Netflix cut down but they also allow you to pay a little extra to have "extra devices".

    I think it's mainly been a DirecTV HDTV problem. But the problems finally got me on regular DirecTV this afternoon for a while.

    (yes, I don't use HDTV at all, it's just my thing)
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    he has 100% been laying off the sliders so much better so far. people gave up on him even becoming an average hitter, which was absurd to me. it’s still early and a SSS tho. haven’t even looked at his numbers but feel like he’s barely striking out. also hope moving up in the order won’t hurt him.
