You guys jinxed him. Painter has been shut down with a UCL sprain (a majority of cases end up with surgery but he’s shut down at least a month before even being able to throw again).

RIP. It's always sad to lose a member of these communities, even if they are simply virtual forums. It blows my mind to think how long I've been posting or how long some of you have been on these forums. For me it's got to be at least 23 years now. I still remember posting my interview with...

Eh not really. Maybe for Bryce sure. But he's all batting average - terrible power, walk rates, etc. His positional versatility is a plus but the Twins are clearly selling high (as would I).

Because we were managed poorly the first month of the season and now every game is life or death for the division title so we're not subbing in Grissom (when we have an off day tomorrow as well) before the Mets series.

Im 100% with you- I don’t think she’s in the least bit attractive but hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Ozuna’s Pour Choices

Supposedly McNeil just has a cut finger but no news on Escobar. McNeil won’t be out more than a game most likely

What?

150% in favor of this type of deal. Took a player with low (and cratering) value, sold Dayton the dream (look at his shiny former prospect status!) along with a few spare parts that likely would never make the MLB team nor would have any independent meaningful value in a trade, and exchanged...

I'm so sorry to hear this. As a father, it breaks my heart. I'm praying for Allison and your family. Maybe this forum is a welcome distraction for you - and if it is, then I hope it helps you find some alleviation - but otherwise family first my friend.

FYI Braves defeat Riley in arbitration - he'll be paid $3.95M this year instead of the $4.2M his side filed for.

Seriously… It’s a tired act to continue to harp on Braves “lifers” particularly when 1) it’s not in the team’s best interest going forward and 2) Freeman specifically had an opportunity to come back to this organization but chose to try for more and left the FO no choice but to choose certainty...

Hey I’m rooting for the kid but you do realize he’s had all of 2 ABs this season, right? He went 1 for 2 with a double (hence the 1.500 OPS). Maybe let’s let him get 100-200 ABs before we start citing stats

Price is about right - he's projected for a 1.2-1.5 WAR or something around those lines. Issue is resource allocation now. Do the Braves have enough for another OF and a competent SP? A dream would be AA getting authority to overspend in 22 using some playoff revenue windfalls to getting...

I'd rather sign Conforto than those two. And if we can't afford Conforto, Pham seems like he'd provide great value as a fallback.

Unbelievable job by AA here. As Enscheff notes, an extension is not always a good thing but in this case (factoring in age curves and price), I think this is a steal. Now the real test comes with what AA does with the remaining money saved from what they had budgeted for a realistic Freeman...

No doubt much of this is true. I don't "clock in, clock out" - I am 24/7 as someone in this thread already said. I have conference calls at 11 pm, 4 am, 6 pm, etc -- some days I don't sleep. I have executed dozens of M&A transactions where I've led teams of hundreds on diligence, negotiation...

As an executive myself (and part owner of a global company), I actually agree with Ensheff's post. I am not 250x more valuable than my lower level employees; in fact, those employees are far more the life blood of the revenue engine than I or any one else in the C-suite is. Which is why we...
