    Deal? Or silence?

    I predict...silence.
    I won't be silent, that's silly! But I also won't delete my account because I like talking with you guys! :)

    I'd just make another one under a different name lol

    Eh, don't worry about what he has to say guys -- name calling is simply a self-esteem thing.

    Plus, I enjoy living in the south and our favorite baseball team is based here!

    If you called yourself "Fit Australian Dude", he would add you to his favorite contacts immediately.

    LOL

    If one could collect his posts for the last year, you could write a Psych PhD thesis. Just identifying all the neuroses and syndromes alone would be a magnum opus. .

    At least at my public Ivy southern alma mater.

    Why does he spend time here? Do his Bay Area friends who know him reject him? Is he incredibly socially inept with them? Does he have a short d*ck and no money, or is he ghey with myriad issues stemming from that, or what's the deal? He's definitely not a Braves fan. He certainly doesn't want to associate with anyone here. So why troll here? Isn't there anything more productive he could do with his time?

    Haha, you guys spend almost as much time talking about me as you do about the Braves. It's like when the warehouse workers sit in the corner of the building chatting about the engineers and bosses.

    Wouldn't know. Never worked in a warehouse. What's it like? Did you enjoy operating the forklift? Did you smuggle **** out in your lunchbox? Were there any shootouts involving Angelina Jolie doing Kung fu and ****? I'll bet you work in an amazing warehouse. The best warehouse.

    Yeah, firewalls at tech companies can be comically restrictive.

    Back on subject. Newk doesn't give up many HRs (big in Suntrust) and he strikes out plenty. I can see him getting in jams because of the walks, but also getting out of some because of his stuff. To me that should play about the same in the majors. I think his ERA will go up one point (so should sit around low 4's), and next year he will be in the mid high 3s...2019 could be his break out year (if he learns to keep the walks down). Worst case, he is an average pitcher because his good stuff keeps him in games. Either way...a 4.00 ERA is three points lower than what we have been getting. For a while, he might be very frustrating to watch...gives up 5-6 runs one game and throws a three hitter the next.

    believe me, you will know very quickly with him. if he is missing high and away to righties.. buckle up, it is going to be a bumpy ride.

    I actually really hope Newk does something like toss 6 innings while giving up only 1-2 walks. Then I can log on in the morning and read posts from clvclv and thethe (no idea why Derpi-Braves feel the need to have repetitive screen names) about how Newk's command will be better at the MLB level because he is focusing more, trying harder, being coached better, or some other crazy notion.

    No offense to those guys, but that made me laugh for some reason.
