GDT 5/22/21: Pirates vs Braves - A start for Ender

[WaitingFor2017]

"The Little Infielder" hits a home run.

Albies!

[Enscheff]

Is this whole alumni weekend going to be 72 hours of telling us terrible baseball is now?

Here is Leo with dinosaur thinking

I'm not going to criticize someone like Leo for thinking this way. He was a major part of the 90s Braves and his line of thinking helped the Braves win a ton of games. But he's also not a broadcaster/person of influence in todays game. So his opinion is as relevant as anyone's on this board.

My issue is with the guys who are paid to promote the current brand of baseball and the consensus opinion is that it's not as good as it was 25 years ago.

You know Chip is loving every minute of it

[msstate7]

Why do y'all let this bother you? Have you ever visited with your grandparents? They tell you how it used to so great, and you just humor them bc you love them. And I do love the old braves

[WaitingFor2017]

I know Chip can't coax Jeff or Nick to indulge in this conversation like he gets with Glavine, so he'll go with any chance he gets with any guest.

[Enscheff]

Leo hates that HR by Albies because he's little

Regardless of the topic, you either adapt or you die. Apparently, too many of the talking heads now are deceased--at least mentally.

Because they are literally telling viewers baseball sucks today when it is losing fans left and right.

They should be promoting the game, not ****ting on it.

Yeah, I guess, but if you watching on a Saturday afternoon, you love it regardless

[Enscheff]

No I don’t. I mute it.

These fools are literally talking themselves out of a job by telling everyone how bad the product is that employs them. It is beyond moronic

Yeah. Not a fan of Glavine broadcasting for this reason. Jeff is getting better imo and part of that as he's a pretty recent retiree. He understands todays game.

[CyYoung31]

Chip is such a ****ing cuck.

[Enscheff]

What it all boils down to is old people unable to understand something, and therefor it’s bad.

Simple as that.

[CyYoung31]

“You were a powerful right-handed hitter, and you didn’t strike out much did you?”

[CyYoung31]

LOL @ Albies.

[thewupk]

Acuna and Albie's interactions are the best

[UNCBlue012]

Wilson just isn’t good. Essentially anytime he has a good outing, it’s because the other team was bad

dumbass lol

[msstate7]

Enscheff, does Wright have 2 pitches that could translate to a good reliever?
