I tend to think players are what they are.

I think people who aren't in the spotlight find ways to undervalue even the biggest of achievements. Winning 14 straight divisions in an amazing organizational feat and JS had a heavy hand in every one of them.

I would imagine that is common separator between major league talent and minor leaguers.

I think eventually committing to a rebuild ended up being a nice recharge for the fans but wasn't anything the org had patience for. The Braves continued to draft well though and were mostly good at choosing what to throw and what to keep. The problem was the Tex trade was the team wasn't...

Also the Braves roster pre-JS wasn't playoff caliber. He made the moves that got them there and the moves that sustained it for 14 years an unprecedented feat. That's pretty incredible by any objective standard, but so sorry he finally traded away a player or two that the fan base regretted...

I personally do not care about the Tex trade. The worst thing they gave up was Andrus and that's neither a big deal historically or a position where the Braves struggled afterwards. Maybe you don't make the trade, but the value of the return has always been inflated simply because some of...

You have a hard time finding anything positive about the front office that relievers a decade and a half of division titles? Seriously?

I think most people are also pretty repulsed he gets off by abusing women.

They basically used all of these as starters and then cut bait. It's tough to come up with guys they actually converted. Usually trade them before that.

Pretty sure they would wait to suspend Acuña.

I love it when people string together random statements made over months, conflate it with rumors and media speculation, and then treat the amalgam like it was testimony given under oath. Aha!

I think we should guillotine all of them. The truth is that poors would love to make millions playing a child game but they can't. But one thing they can do is get a vicarious thrill off their team winning and the millionaires looking for a few more shekels stand in the way of that. Why...

Why would it make more sense to side with a millionaire than a billionaire?

I prefer spending limited resources on things other than a deep bench in the DH era. Pretty obvious that bullpen is more important.

^ This dude here was absolutely determined to be right about Ian Anderson no matter how long he had to wait to claim it.

The Braves fired what's his name immediately after it happened so that probably tells you something. Not sure what.

I feel like it's been relatively common over the years for players to change up arm angle to one degree or another and there isn't much better time to do it when starting from square one after injury. Don't really have much expectation either way but I'm guessing he's going to pitch for...

I think some consideration ought to be given to the possibility that players may play better because they're comfortable and treated well. A family member of mine has participated in the the little camp where mlb rookies are given advice on how to be a pro. The Braves organization gets high...

...trying to decide if I think he was an asshole to call a Twitter guys employer or not. Balancing it against the Twitter guy being an asshole. Coming down to Law was really punching down instead of just blocking a pest.

Snitker is an excellent manager.
