Absolutely. He’s pitching like a good #2.

Yeah, nice guy, but a little thin skinned. Probably comes with the territory.

I had an interesting phone conversation with Keith Law a few years ago. He hit me up on LinkedIn to complain about a former employee of mine that was blowing up his twitter. It turned out the former employee never updated his LinkedIn page. When he first messaged me I asked him to call me and...

Projects at SS.

Anybody else having issues with the off season thread loading?

I’m glad somebody said it, about Colorado football that is. I’m almost numb to the Ohtani thing at this point.

I get Wheeler has his A+ stuff, but we can’t even string together a 8 or 9 pitch at bat to make him work. The perfect example is the called 3rd strike Albies just took. Normally he fouls that pitch off and he lives for another pitch. Not one hitter looks like themselves. ****ing weird….

I would normally laugh at this suggestion, but I’m not laughing now.

And by a bullpen game no less.

Reseeding. Follow the NFL model. Highest seed should play the lowest remaining seed each round. Should be ATL vs AZ and LA vs Philly in the NLDS. As Encheff seemed to imply, there is zero advantage for the #1 seed the way it is currently structured.

Any shadow issues at 6 PM this time of year?

Tough crowd in regard to Morton. The old dude finished an inning with a broken leg a couple Octobers ago.

Are we thinking Waldrep’s split finger is going to be a secret weapon out of the pen in October?

Nice attempt he made to throw out Freeman at the plate as well.

He’s always been a vastly overrated player. Insufferable really. He’s not even in the top 3rd at his position as a #1 overall pick.

Don’t you have to add into the equation the players ATL is signing with the extra money we saved with Olson the first few years of his deal? The players we are signing with the extra cash are proven. What are the odds all or even the majority of the pieces we traded will make an impact?

Somehow this makes me feel better.

A really good point about those two potentially being lethal weapons in the playoffs. I hadn’t even thought of that angle. It’s a good example of building upon a strength and in this case could pay off big in October. If the Braves sign Soler for a couple of years at let’s say, 24 million, DOB...

Yep, and add in the difference in state tax and it makes the deal look much worse financially than the deal ATL offered. It’s still generational wealth, but he left chips on the table.

Olson Luck would have it I’m playing in a golf tournament today with Billy Bean’s future son-in-law. I’ll throw out some feelers and he might offer some info. May be useless, but you never know.
