93 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a good day for AA to improve the actual MLB roster.

One thing is for sure: While I mostly watch the Falcons as a comedy show these days, there is no reason for a professional team to be this bad in all aspects of special teams play.

Where are the 5 wins coming from? I’m thinking they split the two Saints game and split the home game against the Panthers and the game against the Jets. They’re not good enough, or the coaching isn’t good enough, to run the table on those four. Who else are they beating? Maybe Arizona?

Falcons look to be on the way to a 5-12 finish or worse and don't have a first-round pick.

Going ahead and kicking this off. We'll see how long it takes compared to last offseason. 94 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a good day for AA to improve the actual MLB roster.

Signing Carlos Carrasco to a minor league deal is an amazing start to the offseason. Start sizing up the rings.

In all seriousness, does this mean Eddie Perez is bench coach?

Interesting strategy by AA hiring a bunch of young coaches who are still young enough to play and fill in the bullpen and bench gaps when he doesn’t add anyone in the offseason.

To this day, I’ve never understood and never will understand how Andruw got to that ball in Montreal. Bob Rathbun’s call was also a very underrated one in the history of Braves broadcasting.

I’ll be pissed too if that happens, but perhaps take a breath and realize he can’t say “player x” will rotate in if he hasn’t acquired player x yet. Bellinger is the most obvious fit, but believe it when I see it. I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on Conforto for a bounceback year.

The Braves hired a 39-year-old data-driven guy, just not to the spot on the coaching staff we thought

Weiss is a Black Belt.

A necessity since we likely aren’t going to be able to retain Kim, Story won’t be available, and there’s not much else available outside AA pulling a stunner of a trade. Can’t have openings at both middle infield spots.

Weiss interview with 680 was mostly fine, but reading in between the lines it does seem like the thing that will likely trip him up the most is leaving the starter in an inning too long. I don’t think it’s the train wreck that some do but still going to be a wait and see for me. How he and/or...

If given the choice, I think Walt would take Chipper over Hyers. Guys have been fired before. I haven’t had a chance to read and listen to everything from today yet. Heard some of AA’s radio interview on the drive home. He talked about how Weiss of course interviewed early on and AA said to...

From what I’ve seen Weiss said the right things about analytics and information. That’s only what it’s worth until we see it in action.

Keith Lockhart for bench coach. Brian Jordan and Brian Hunter for base coaches.

I doubt Lehmann would have interviewed poorly unless an old schmuck like McGuirk was just not on board at all. More likely is he's been offered an absurd amount to stay with the Dodgers and be manager in waiting or the Padres are eyeing him.

A guy plugged in pretty deep with the minors system says he’s been told Weiss is one of the closest members of the organization with Ronald. That might be a slight redeeming point for him. But meh.
