I still think another starting pitcher is needed. All the rest of the changes that were made are logical and addressed team needs. I hoped they would get someone a bit better than Yaz, but Yaz will serve his purpose. If the team stays healthy and production doesn't tank, there wasn't a lot...

Only move I'm really not that hot on is the Yaz move. Seemed a bit premature. I don't think it's anything to get worked up about because he will provide the flexibility necessary to cycle guys through the DH role. I just thought they would aim a tad higher. We'll see on Kim, but he's a major...

Framber is likely leaving and this guy is at least a one-year bridge so at that level it makes sense for the Astros.

How much soap and how many years will it take for him to get the brown off his nose? Even Bowman took a couple of shots at the Braves this year.

Triple Crown headed to the Southside.

I think Braves' fans were looking at Malloy's walk rate and decent minor league power numbers and thinking he might end up being at least a good bench piece. I seem to remember Keith Law thought he was one of the better hitting prospects in the Arizona Fall League in 2022 (right before the...

Braves got Jimenez for LHP Jake Higginbotham and Malloy. Higginbotham is in the San Diego system in 2025 and is now a minor league free agent. Atlanta area HS grad who played college ball at Clemson. Malloy can't play anywhere in the field and his K-rate has soared during his ascent to the...

It looks as though the Pirates are actually considering putting a somewhat presentable offense on the field.

The pics were too big for the site. If you hit me up in private with your email, I can email you the pictures.

I am dramatically reducing my various collections and I came across this Braves' jersey that the first Mrs. 50# bought for me in the mid-1980s. As you can see, it's Dale Murphy's #3 without Murphy's name. It is an official MLB jersey. I believe jerseys are sized differently that men's...

Unbelievably sad. The thing that amazes me about Reiner is the wide range of his oeuvre. He delivered so many different styles from madcap comedies to heavy dramas. He'll be missed.

Saw Hamnet last week and rented Bugonia on Saturday. Hamnet is long and slow, but beautifully shot and wonderfully acted by Jessie Buckely and Paul Mescal (especially Buckley). I've seen reviewers compare it to some of Terrence Malick's work and its an apt comparison. It will receive...

There would be more fans standing on Waveland Avenue waiting for a home run ball than in the park on days Elder was pitching.

I was thinking in terms of years on a contract. You don't load up on college middle-infielders in a draft and then totally ignore what you did.

You could be right. I wonder what the front office ad player development staffs are thinking regarding last year's draftees Lodise and Miller (and Gil and Perdomo a little further down the line). Because of their presence, I wonder if Anthopoulos wants to go longer than two years with someone...

Same feelings for me on the signing. I don't think Yaz moves the needle much, but he surely is an upgrade in terms of depth.

No. I'm old and slow and didn't catch it. E-6 in your scorebooks ladies and gentlemen.

No. That's just a joke that some of us (mostly enscheff and me) tell whenever a player who grew up in the Southeast is mentioned as being a possible Brave.

We drafted soon-to-be 27-year-old C Archer Brookman from the Blue Jays in the minor league phase. I not surprised either way regarding Burkhalter. He's still working back from his arm surgery and teams most likely wanted to see more than 31 IP at AAA. Still and all, he's probably a better bet...

Seager grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, so he undoubtedly lived and breathed the Braves as a lad. Would probably play for free if traded to the Braves.
