Is this one of those Twitter things? Because I can't see those. I just get a great white space where your post should be.

The Athletic report seems to indicate that it was the Braves who made the decision, not her and not Fox.

Totally fair. I mean, of them all there's no one I hate more than Chip (maybe on the planet), but what I was really trying (and, yes, failing) to say was that she brought the least knowledge to the job of anyone I've ever seen.

In two years, Acuna and Albies will be making $20 million combined.... how in the name of Zeus is that not still a bargain? And was the fact that bargain was in parentheses meant to indicate that they're not actually a bargain now, making $2 million combined?

The MLBPA flat-out denied Manfred's claim that they requested immunity for players.

I have no idea if she got better after going national, but Andrews with the Braves was hands down the worst in-studio talent I've ever seen. Ever. She couldn't pronounce even common non-English names (once calling Ivan Rodriguez [Eastern Euro pronunciation of Ivan] rod-RIG-gwez), and stumbled...

It really does seem odd. They apparently made the decision in December, then gave an interview in January saying that they were happy with the broadcast team and no changes would be made, and then finally told her she was out in February. If there isn't more to that story, it seems a bit...

No, no, that one is zombies, just the way Louisa May Alcott wrote it.

Hart us the name I was blanking on. According to the reports, though, the Braves (not Fox) made this decision in December and are just now telling her, so it wasn't her choice.

I really liked the guy she replaced, and was really just getting used to her. Dunno why they can't decide on someone for that job.

I mostly agree with the rest, but think you're totally off base here. What happened in 1919 was a team actively throwing a World's Series, and I do believe that is substantially worse than a team cheating to try to win one. Cheating to win always has a chance of failing, while purposefully...

That could mean "hate speech isn't legal in the U.S.," which comparatively would be mostly be untrue. Or it could mean "Hate speech isn't a legal matter in the U.S.," which comparatively would be true. Edit: or, pretty much what Ramadan just said.

The outfield playing time situation will clear up when Markakis spends the entire season suspended and awaiting trial because he assaulted an Astros player with a bast in a spring training game.

It's actually the largest fine allowed. While we're mining history, let's not forget half of the Giants, including Hall OF Famers Amos Rusie and Monte Ward, were taking liquefied ox brains and nitro in the 1894 Temple Cup series. And in 1889, Hall of Famer Pud Galvin was getting injections of...

Let's try to simplify that for you. In 77.3% of his time as a professional, Camargo has been a .720 OPS minor league hitter. In 11.1% of his time as a professional, Camargo has been a .724 OPS major league hitter. In 11.6% of his time as a professional, Camargo has been an .806 OPS major...

524 is far larger than 504? Because it seems to me like it is only 20 PAs.

Camargo in 3503 PAs over 8 seasons: .284/.338/.382/.720 Camargo in the majors, 504 PAs, 2017 and 2019 combined: .266/.305/.419/.724 Camargo in 2018: .272/.349/.457/.806 It's really not that hard to see which us the outlier.

I thought this was a joke until I saw an article today.

In fact, now that I think about it, the NBA would be a much better choice to emulate than the NFL. They've marketed the hell out of guys like Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, and Lebron over the years, to the point that even someone who hasn't watched a game of basketball in 40 years knows them by a single...

How many household names does any sport have outside of its fanbase, though? The NBA, I know there's Lebron. NFL, Brady, Kaeperknick, and the guy who killed dogs. I can't name a single soccer or hockey player.
