GDT: 10/6 Braves vs Marlins Game 1 NLDS

[Super]

In retrospect, they should’ve brought back Joyce over Markakis.

i couldn't understand why they valued Markakis over Joyce. Joyce is even cheaper, to boot.

[Super]

They shouldn't. They're a couple hitters away from challenging again next year. Their pitching is gonna be unbelievable

i think they're more than a couple hitters away. they were -41 this year. they wouldn't come close to making the playoffs in a normal season. they have a bunch of bench guys starting.

[Super]

Lololol this is why Fantasy Baseball GMs shouldn’t speak. Travis huge all year

this is what boomers think good trolling is. yet another boomer flaw.

[Super]

Hmm...

Is watching this board defend Acuna pimping homeruns while talking **** when someone like Harper does it the dumbest thing on the Internet?

Or is watching this board call for Braves pitchers to hit opposing players, and then complain for 10 pages when an opposing pitcher hits Acuna even dumber?

I can’t decide...

"this board" isn't a single entity. i think most here don't support hitting an opposing player, and accept pimpage no matter who it comes from. it's just thoroughly enjoyable when it's your own player doing it, and it isn't when it's not.

They should bring him back as the clubhouse manager next season... to you know... provide that vet presence without being a black hole at the plate.

just came down to loyalty probably. I favored letting Nick go and would have preferred Joyce.

In the end it was crap vs crap

Joyce with a 96 WRC+ and -0.3 fWAR
Neck with a 89 WRC+ and a -0.4 fWAR

Neither are good solutions and hopefully we will have better production in the OF next year.

Nobody really knows how much payroll we will be working with but I'd love to sign Joc to pair with Duvall and somehow swing Ender in a trade for Heyward.

This t-shirt is AMAZING

The sound quality was absolute trash. Hope they fix that before the game today.

Could be. I know they're missing Ramirez who they like. They also battled Covid as much as any team. I'm probably underestimating their offensive woes, but I really like their pitching.

She's no Kelsey.

That said, Matzek and Martin have both been unreal. Probably as lock down relievers as we've had since O'Ventbrel.

pitching is young and legit for sure

[Southcack77]

Marlins are really interesting, but seems like their arrival is pretty dependent on where their payroll ends up.

While you could see them having a very good pitching staff going forward, they really need Chisolm, Bleday, and Sanchez to be pretty big hits.

[Tapate50]

I'd love to see an Acuna dinger on the first pitch....

I'd prefer he not get ejected for showing his dinger. Certainly not in the playoffs.

Enscheff is busy stalking around with his chest out again. So let's use this thread to discuss he and his toadies since they need the attention. No need to stay on topic since the topic isn't him. Might as well convert all threads to Enscheff, all day, all the time.

And.... this is exactly the point. You can't move on. You won't move on. And you believe, and probably correctly, that you don't have to move on, that you can just do whatever you want, whenever you want. You come back and kick sand in my face again, just because you think you can.

So, OK. Every chance I feel like it, from now on, I'm going to blow up and derail any thread where you appear. For any reason. Under any circumstances. At any time.

Mods, you've got a choice. Take out the trash permanently. Or perma-ban me. There is no cooling down/cooling off, "hey everybody just get along." I'm cool now. I just don't care and won't put up with it.

Face it. You've tried that and it doesn't work. What you've done is essentially enabled a bully and his toadies to ruin the experience for what I expect is a huge number of other posters. They can speak for themselves if they wish. They can choose my approach if they wish and run the bully and his toadies off by not enabling them and not standing for their actions. Or they can sit on their hands and grin when good 'ol Enscheff comes along for their lunch money. That's up to them.

For me, perma-ban me. That's cool. It's your board. Do as you wish. But at least everyone else will know where they stand.
