Langford walking away without getting thrown out must have required a truly extraordinary exertion of willpower.

I think the takeaway from all of this is that sports betting is dumb and no one should do it. Now, granted, I drink Mountain Dew and that's definitely dumb and absolutely no one should do that, so I don't judge people on their vices, but still.

It's all pretty ridiculous, yes, but I don't see any reason to believe that the US Attorney is conducting some kind of cover up for Ohtani, and I very seriously doubt that the Ohtani team is capable of creating a smokescreen so elaborate that it could fool the federal government.

Can I just say, I love how many times in this story I’ve heard or read the phrase “Orange County bookie.” You hear “bookie” and you think of some cigar-chomping tough guy from 1940’s LA or New York. But Mizuhara got caught up with a bookie operating on the mean streets of Laguna Beach.

What are the odds Hernandez called that a strike entirely to punish Torres for stepping out and “showing him up?”

The Fick discussion shook loose a faded memory of his post-Braves career, and I ran it down on Wikipedia. The 2006 Nationals had both Fick and Matthew LeCroy on their roster, and LeCroy got pressed into service as starting catcher in a game where the team's starting and backup catchers were both...

Fick had a nice first half that year -- .296/.354/.482. We were kind of excited about him at the time. But boy howdy was that a rough second half of the season.

I’m not seeing Garret Anderson on any of these lists.

Say what you will about Copolella, but that Heyward-Miller-Swanson/Inciarte sequence was some pretty nifty business.

I have basically no hopes invested in Ynoa, but it was his first appearance since 2022. Let the guy work the rust out before obsessing over velocity.

Love the catcher gently restraining the hitter from doing something really bad and commiserating with him about the call.

It's only four games and it means nothing, but man, put the Braves' lineup next to that of the White Sox and look at the OPS for each player, and it is striking.

Heim really needs to pick up the ball and argue later.

Trout homered in his first at-bat. Would be cool to see have him a healthy, 150+-game vintage Trout season.

I don't actually think the Braves front office is doing an SNL bit.

This Chavez thing feels like a running joke Anthopolous keeps telling because he knows that, if you keep doing it, it’ll eventually become funny again.

Looks like Wyatt Langford is starting the season with the Rangers, as is appropriate for a good and kind and noble Florida Gator.

I need to stop talking myself into Jordan Luplow. This is the second straight offseason I've pulled this nonsense.

Braves signed Duvall. $3 million. David O'Brien @DOBrienATL Adam Duvall signs a one-year, $3 million contract with #Braves

David O'Brien @DOBrienATL Ken Giles is on a minor league contract, so this allows #Braves to send him down to get more innings, multi-inning stints, back-to-back days, etc. Missed a lot of time past couple years, so this lets him build up properly. I’d guess he’ll be back with Atlanta early in...
