    Says billionaire Mario Gabelli has bought close to 3 million shares of Braves. Not sure what this means if anything.

    Sounds like he just thinks the stock is undervalued given what pro sports teams are selling for.

    $35 stock selling for $23. Just another reason to scapegoat Coppy.

    Tales of the Braves financial problems are somewhat dubious based on Liberty's reporting of their financials.

    The 2018 payroll will tell us all we need to know.

    Of course, your head will still be in the sand no matter what the figure is haha.

    Has anyone around here bothered looking at the quarterly and annual reports?

    If it drops back to 100 million, I'll consider the possibility, but I am much more interested in the balance sheet.

    I think they will carry about the same payroll they did last year.

    Anyone else think baseball's prohibition on big news until after the World Series is ridiculous? They're concerned about the focus being taken off the World Series. First, it's a 24 hour sports news cycle now. There's plenty of time for the World Series to be analyzed to death. But more importantly, if there's other baseball news going on, you keep the spotlight on baseball and there tends to be a synergy with these things.

    If your team isn't in the playoffs, you might shift your focus to football during the playoffs. However, if there's still all kinds of news happening with your team, you pay more attention to the news. In doing this you'll catch World Series recaps coverage by default. Maybe those storylines start gaining your interest.

    I just think if you shut down all news for majority of markets during the playoffs, it makes it that much easier for those markets to just zone out for the playoffs.

    I could care less at this junction whether or not we lose Maitan as it appears that he's going to be a bust. We solve that problem pretty quickly by signing the guy from Baltimore next offseason.

    This is the quickest a generational talent has been written off in the history of baseball fandom.

    I'm tired of the players sticking their noses in the front office business whether it is vouching for a manger or a general manager.

    Considering the front office solely determines where you and your family live, I think it's quite alright that they express their opinion on the matter.
