    GDT 6/11- This CRAP STOPS NOW. BITCH.

    I mean, I certainly don't think it's time to go making declarative statements as to what guys are gonna look like for the remainder of their contracts. It's certainly a frustrating stretch, though.

    GDT 6/11- This CRAP STOPS NOW. BITCH.

    When was the last time Snitker got tossed arguing a third strike or other atrocious call? I'm just curious.

    GDT 8/7/22: Braves @ Mutts - Series Finale

    Sure would be nice for our alleged "player's manager" to go get in CB's ass over this strike zone. But he's too busy thinking about how much he misses Freddie and Markakis...

    GDT 6/11/22: Braves vs Pirates - Backup DH is in

    A lot of the film industry has set up shop in that old Turner Field area. There are several prop houses, SFX shops, and various other studio mechanic shops through there. Sound equipment, lighting, staging, et al. It's close enough to that monstrosity Tyler Perry built on what used to be Ft...

    Official 2022 Offseason Moves Thread

    I've heard a lot of people speculate that McDowell's throwing program did a lot more harm than good long term. Looking at the young arms that got run into the ground, there might be something to it...

    Official 2022 Offseason Moves Thread

    I said this elsewhere (maybe here, too), but the PR disaster of letting Freddie get away would be catastrophic. It is all anyone is talking about here locally. I just don't see any way AA lets it happen. He might be the one guy Liberty would intervene in favor of. He's one or two in terms of...

    Official 2022 Offseason Moves Thread

    FWIW, AA told a radio station here in Atlanta he fully expects to have everyone back next year. Some of that is hyperbole, but there has been no euphemisms thrown around about "Well, moving forward we're going to do what's best long term" or "we have to make sure our priorities line up with...

    The Night I Was One of Those Mother ****ers

    June of 1983. I was 3 months old. My dad carried me down to the field level before the game to get Dale Murphy to sign a ball for me. The story I'm told is that Murph asked if he could hold me and then walked around the outfield with me for about 20 minutes, then signed a bunch of stuff for my dad.

    GDT 11/2/21: Braves @ Astros - World Series Game 6

    Guy hit .171 with 0 rbi in like 20 postseason games with Atlanta. Why would they give him anything?

    Around the League - 2021 Szn

    I'm the same way. I'm a proud progressive who wants to do right by people, but there's enough **** out there that's actually happening to tear down our republic to spend this much time worrying about a chant. If I had my way, I'd probably drop the "S" and rename the team "The Atlanta Brave."...

    GDT 10/29/21: Braves vs Astros - World Series Game 3

    I think I read somewhere that the way the LM/Braves relationship is now, the team keeps a much larger chunk. That's why they had to build the Battery in the first place. The double edged sword is that the team has to draw well every year, or payroll could be effected. Affected? I can never...

    PLAYOFFS?!?!?

    Folks who still love to bitch about Liberty Media seem to ignore that before the pandemic, payroll has been up since Truist opened. If they don't re-sign Freeman, it won't be because they can't.

    Trades/acquisitions

    To be fair, the Hawks did just have the best season in their franchise's history. It wouldn't shock me if Hawks playoff games were higher rated than Braves regular season. I'm a local, and there was some legitimate "Hawks Fever" going around. What SJ24 is ignoring is the Braves being a regional...

    GDT 7/24/21: Braves @ Phillies - SJ24 to the bench

    That's the thing. Every available piece of data suggests that letting the starter see the lineup a third time isn't the best shot to win.
