Step one is achieved. No asterisks allowed. If the Braves can get bounced in a one game WC, winning a 3 game series is absolutely legit. Interesting how the brackets have worked out. Braves Marlins and Astros A's are somewhat under the radar. Yanks Rays and Dodgers Pads will get all the press.

Angels have made some dumb moves primarily pushed by their owner (Pujols is an absolute albatross and has been for years) and Upton. Then they had some bad luck (albeit somewhat self inflicted) with Ohtani - pitch and hit? He may never be the same and certainly won't pitch. They are not big...

I think the DH goes for the year and comes back as a concession to the players in the next agreement.

Bauer, Gray and Castillo are more stuff guys than junk ballers and they are around the plate. Probably better for the Braves hitters especially if Acuna is healthy.

It's hard to know how to project the offseason. The COVID shortened season with associated pro-rated payroll will still be trumpeted by ownership as huge, HUGE losses for 2020. That may or may not be true. But it doesn't matter since it will be a retarding issue for the offseason. The upcoming...

Bauer seems plenty talented but so much of a weirdo that it seems that it's more of a center of attention mechanism than anything else. He seems like he could be very disruptive. Cleveland tends to handle there guys pretty well there normally and he still had some run-ins. I also wonder...

Problem with that is not necessarily what it means for him but what it means for the rest of the rotation. If he pitches every 4 days, at a minimum the other starters have less routine and lose starts. Everybody else pitches on 4 days rest. He pitches on 3. Seems like other starters would be at...

I'm a centrist in all this. My whole purpose above was to point out that the so-called "boomer" generation, of which I am not a member, did the same exact things that the current one is doing. And what did it get them? Apparently nothing, since 50 years later we are at it again. Both right and...

Well, we do try.

payback for getting screwed by the Astros

Off topic but... Has anyone ever thought about the correlation of "boomers" and today's citizen social warriors? Protests? check Riots? check SJW? check BLM & Black Panthers? check Going to change the world? check Old fogies are stupid? check communist/socialist sympathies? check fight against...

Strikes that are HR are called hits. He needs to throw strikes. What we have is nibble, wild, wild, strike, cute, nibble, HR ball... rinse. repeat.

Gotta even up that runs scored/runs allowed ratio

I wonder where he got the idea that sliders were better?

If Touki and Newk had a love child the kid would wind up and throw the ball to CF on each pitch. And the Braves would be talking about fixing his arm angle.

Let's go Toyota Sales Event! Just wanted to find a positive.

Might I suggest One Day at a Time?

I wonder if the Braves could send them Milone back to start game 2

So they've tried center of the rubber, left side, right side.... maybe they should try underneath the rubber

Train Station Gotta get Malone of the IL
