On top of about 50 extra pounds, yea.

Yes, but I am afraid when he's up there in big situations.

According to fangraphs, Andres Thomas had the least value of any Brave, with -4.6 WAR. Bobby Reis was the worst pitcher, with -3.4 WAR.

It's not that bizarre. He just doesn't want to put a legit hitter at the top of the lineup, because he wants them up with men on base, and you're guaranteed to have PAs without base runners if you're at the top of the lineup. However, he just doesn't get that this also means that you're not...

I too think Medlen is our best pitcher.

I don't feel comfortable trusting Beachy's elbow next year. I wouldn't mind having all 6 guys. Pitching depth is good.

Actually, that's 17.5% of his fly balls that are infield fly balls. His fly ball rate is 37.8%, so his overall % in terms of ABs is 6.6%. So given 600 ABs, he'd hit about 39-40 pop ups.

From what I've heard from people who have it, being in front of 5 people is no worse or better than being around 50 people. I've been taught that it doesn't scale that way.

Social anxiety does not work that way.

fleischmann's whiskey is $16 for 1.75L. And maybe $4 for the headache relief you'll need the next day.

... with Tim Tebow in attendance?

That's not a complete enough list, and the prices are different than I'm used to.

Julio writes copy for ESPN for his day job, confirmed.

PBR was $0.50/can. Other than dumping some everclear in some juice, I didn't know how else to **** faced for $6. And Franzia tastes like ****. Like, even more than PBR.

Once you take into account injuries, service time considerations, and wanting to avoid over-extending young arms, I think we're down to Loe and Garcia. And Garcia pitched on Sunday I think, so he's not available.

The braves are a very deep team. We don't have any obvious weaknesses at any position, our bench is deep, and our rotation, including injuries, is legit 7-deep. The bullpen has the best ERA in the majors. That said, depth matters for very little in the playoffs. What does seem to matter in the...

$12 of PBR will get you plastered for a full day, I promise. Half that and you're set for a drunk night. PBR was great when I was in college, didn't have money, and didn't feel like jungle juice.

I want to just show you all a picture of the Buddha and tell you "THIS **** DOES NOT MATTER"

Yea, but none of those guys were given roles of ANY importance at all. Loe and Garcia are just here as good veteran guys to have around, eat innings and save arms in september, and maybe help mentor a couple of the kids. I'd rather have them do these roles than some 22 year old who could...

The over-leveraging of the American consumer and the wider economy was essentially what caused the last recession. We've now completed the de-leveraging process, and finally, after what seems like forever: the financial sector, which is America's most important economic sector and the backbone...
