Did they lose Lindor last night ? Is he out for the season?

Considering he posted a video of him on IG driving to the airport, picking up a huge (and I mean huge) Koi fish for his custom koi pond, bringing it home and tripping while he’s carrying it from his car, etc - and that was now over a month ago (July 27), he better damn well be hitting off a tee...

Bean, not Beane. Billy Beane is alive and well. The player who came out has died. Just clarifying

I wonder if his stuff was in any way affected if he has some sort of elbow impingement (or worse, injury)- he’s apparently hitting the DL with abnormal elbow soreness but just fyi - his stuff may well be what Enscheff noted but it’s worth a revisit when he returns healthy.

Yeah I can already see the “Strider is coming back and will replace Fried as our TOR starter” articles from Bowman. No thanks - I highly doubt AJSS or anyone else establishes themselves as a middle of rotation or better starting option before year end so we will need a replacement for Fried and...

The point is to promote an equitable distribution - the owners are making bookoos of money on the teams which is driven by the players themselves. The players ought to have a fair allocation of those funds given that they are the primary engines by which those owners make their bookoos of...

Acuna getting his knee looked at by a doctor but not an MRI per Snit. WTF. Why can’t the org tell him to stop indiscriminately stealing bases.

As I said 2 weeks ago, this is the move we needed to make this winter above all else. Adding a few wins on a 100 win roster is great, but the architect was the prize. I’m glad they got this done and I’m hoping AA got paid

As has been stated before, Sale and Kelenic are higher risk, higher upside moves. I think AA’s calculus is that even if they bust, the 2024’Braves still are one of the best teams in baseball assuming health. If one or both hits (and by hit in Sale’s case it’s him staying relatively healthy for...

So our 40 man is currently at 36, correct?

$1m per year is laughable for top level, quality (proven) POBOs at the MLB level. David Stearns just got $50m over 5 years guaranteed (so $10m per) from the Mets, and USA Today says the average salary for a POBO is $2.5m last year. Andrew Friedman got 5 years/$35m from LA (so $7m per year)...

Our most important move hasn’t been made yet- and no, I’m not talking about another quality SP although I agree that’s necessary (whether it’s done this winter or during the season before the playoffs). AA is entering the last year of his 3 year contract. We need to lock him up for a long time...

You know, I wonder if AA has reached out to his good friend Dana about Framber Valdez. After all, he drafted Bryce Elder in the 5th round as an overpay and Vaughn in the 11th after personally scouting Grissom. Not saying that’s enough, just saying Dana May value those players more than other orgs

The talent is there. He had an average exit velocity over 91 mph last year, which is a lot better than average. He also hit a ball 114 mph last year, which only 6% of players in MLB achieved - so the power is there. If the Braves feel they can improve his patience and outside chase rate, they...

You double it and then perhaps apply a 10% “all your eggs in a single basket” discount. So figure somewhere around $550m for at least 10 years. Some teams like the Padres like to go longer with a slightly lower AAV so figure they may offer something like 13/650.

Honestly, I have no tolerance for the word. Zero. Zilch. As a person of color, it’s abhorrent and beneath humanity. That said, and I make no excuses for Glen, but I also do think context and a person’s heart do factor into something. I doubt the man was “excited” (per the museum’s director...

That’s presuming both 40+ year olds make it to the end of the season healthy. That’s asking a lot, Funny that Max intentionally chose not to appeal because he figured he could pitch the last game against the Braves in this series only to get pushed out to their next series with Detroit.

He’s not appealing- most likely so he can pitch that final game against us.

Ironic that he's showing glove first considering every report I read on him said his bat was what was his loudest tool (some said he had elite bat speed and projection). He's a big guy but there are large SSs now in MLB - if he fills out more, though, he projects more as a 3B than a SS...

What did he say, exactly? I am blacked out :/
