    Sigh. It's going to be Bill Shanks.

    New Manager Discussion

    Pretty standard list of names -- pretty much the guys we've been discussing here. The exceptions are Ryan Flaherty (yes, that one) and Danny Lehmann, the Dodgers' bench coach.

    And even that started falling apart this year.

    New Manager Discussion

    I don't ask for much from a manager. Keep the clubhouse serene, don't do anything tactically to actively hurt the team.

    Brian Snitker got as many years as Acuna?

    I mean, I struggle to believe that Mark Bowman of all people could ever construct a strangely worded sentence.

    I wonder if Murphy would have been able to pass a physical if we traded him. That's not to let Anthopolous off the hook -- by all accounts we didn't know about his hip injury until he revealed it late in the year, so that couldn't have been why we held on to him. But as a practical matter it's...

    Pat Murphy first made his name as a college coach, but he's been out of the college game for so long that I don't think you can count him as a "college to the pros" success story.

    Snitker's getting a place in the Braves Hall of Fame, a senior advisor job that I imagine won't demand very much of him and a freaking trip to Hawaii. I'm a sentimental guy and I would be upset if the Braves had disrespected Snitker, but they didn't. They're doing right by him.

    Huh, Rickie Weeks. There's a blast from the past.

    MadduxFanII once stated that he does not lament The Adam Wainwright trade, and this is his thread to expound and expand!!

    My memory is that when we made the trade we backloaded the actual cash for Hampton’s contract, so we only paid two million a year for the first three years and whatever the big number was for the last three years. But for accounting purposes we averaged it out and it was (I think) $8 million a...

    Sorry, David O'Brien has to respond to every one of them, individually, with retweets.

    Our decision to drive a truck around Truist Field with "BRIAN SNITKER RETIRE BITCH" written on the side clearly paid off. Well done, everyone.

    MadduxFanII once stated that he does not lament The Adam Wainwright trade, and this is his thread to expound and expand!!

    Dunn's kind of an interesting case study when you look back at him with the benefit of hindsight. People like me were certainly guilty of overrating him when he first came up. Part of that was because the stathead ethos at the time was all about assembling a slow pitch softball team -- defense...

    Braves claim Manoah off waivers from Blue Jays.

    His one 2023 start for the Blue Jays' FCL team was pretty fun. 2 2/3 IP, 10 hits, 11 earned runs, two HRs, two BBs, three Ks.

    GDT 9-23: Waldrep's Last Start of 2025

    Who is Brett Wisely and how did he start at second base for my favorite baseball team? Is this a Make-A-Wish thing?

    We're sending Alvarez to the AFL, right? Would be a nice opportunity for him to play some additional positions.

    Never good when your doctor finds Payamps during a colonoscopy.
