It looks like the minor league thread got dropped in the migration. Some good performances on Friday night (opening night for Columbus, Rome, and Augusta). Columbus loses 5-3 to Montgomery. Tough night for Hackenburg (2 IP, 4H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 K, 2 BB). James McCann goes 2/3 (both 2Bs) and...

I think Anthopoulos' player acquisition process has been heavily reliant on analytics. You have a legitimate argument when it comes to player usage, but I've run out of fingers to count how many times the Braves have acquired someone with Bowman or O'Brien reporting that someone in player...

What an effin' joke.

Down from infinity going into tonight's appearance!

Neris now has an ERA.

They are really making Pivetta work. 82 pitches over 7 IP. Less than 12 P/IP, putting him in semi-Maddux territory.

I used to play fast-pitch softball in the pre-aluminum bat era and I sometimes used a "bottle bat" that pretty much resembled a bottle. Here's a pic. Fast-pitch operates on a whole different realm than either baseball, slow-pitch softball, or modified-pitch softball. Pitcher is right on top...

I believe MLB approved the bats. There are rules on bats, but I think the restrictions apply more to the extension of the barrel towards the knob as opposed to the end. Not sure on that. I think this design would be a "legal" corked bat to some extent as bat speed would increase a bit...

I think that will happen. This is first week in the major leagues and he's hitting the ball hard. I remember the same comments regarding Harris when he first came up a in 2022. When a player isn't a finished project, the process is probably going to unfold (1) contact, (2) hard contact, (3)...

Don't forget all the extensions Anthopoulos handed out that contribute to the payroll constraints. He built a team with a defined window. The players with the extensions are all good players, but there's a trade-off in terms of payroll flexibility especially if there's a blip. What has...

You forgot the "mein" before "Fuhrer." How'd you manage to get the umlaut in there?

Braves have a pretty solid record with reclamation projects so I wouldn't be surprised if they can get Suarez back to where he was before his performance dipped.

Now that he's gone, I guess you can finally put a sock in it. We all get it. You never liked the pick even though it fit into a larger strategy that ultimately didn't work out.

You jest.

I don't know if Snitker would get maximum value out of Yarbrough, but he'd be a great swing LHP.

Have you been getting a somewhat steady stream of crap in your mailbox as well? I get several every week and they look like phishing attempts.

He had a subpar spring, but Grissom was traded to pretty much the wrong team for his future. Two Top-25 prospects who play the IF (although Campbell may end up in the OF) who are bordering on big-league ready and then the Red Sox sign Bregman. Add to that they are still paying Trevor Story a...

My MSN feed that comes up automatically every morning is either video clips from news outfits or some sports headline that is something to the effect "Bengals considering Packers' former Pro Bowler." Some really off-the-wall stuff especially during off-seasons. Lots of trade proposals that...

I'm getting a lot of private messages that appear to be phishing attempts. Anyone else having that problem.

I don't know if it was in ink, but he got tattooed today.
