For sure. That fraternity of beat writers have to be one the ones most angry. Mintz got his chops as 1/2 of CespedesBBQ. It’s unreal that he got a press credential.

If the series goes back to Atlanta and I'm AA, I have Mintz barred from the stadium.

I would not advise that. Will only create another controversy and make the Braves seem soft in the public eye. But when it comes time to apply for credentials next time, don't grant them.
 
This article he wrote is such trash. He mocks Arcia throughout and basically the entire premise is how his reporting fueled Harper to have a big game.

Not exactly j-school material

Nah, let that a-hole in!

No, I'm for getting him fired. Bar anyone from Fox you don't absolutely have to let in and those you do let in you restrict where they can go. You basically make Fox people unable to do their jobs here until Mintz is fired.

But it's all academic. I'd lay money on the series ending tonight if I was a betting man.

WTF is this forced narrative by these supposed sports journalists? Everyone else on the team stayed and faced the media, one dude didn’t and now the whole team is soft? What else have they done that is soft? Why do they have a bone to pick with this franchise?

He's the face of the franchise.

Am I the only one who thinks the Phillies won’t even make the playoffs next year?

Nah, they will probably just expand the playoffs to the point sub .500 teams get in and the Phillies will hand out some more 300 million dollar contracts since they are too incompetent to develop their own players

Personally I like it. Rub this crap in the braves' faces all offseason. Maybe next season they'll man up

The Braves have no choice but to sit there and take it from opposing fan bases and the Northeast/West Coast-based sports media after they folded like camping chairs. We're not those mother****ers anymore.
 
Hopefully a dBags/Stranger WS will make MLB think about the stupid playoff format. No one is watching as is because of all the stupid off days and lulls

Right or wrong, this isn't surprising coming from the jockocracy in the sports-writing world after the Braves' exit. Braves play with a lot of swagger (which they've earned the right to do), but that is going to rub a lot of folks (mostly older or more bitter sports journalists) the wrong way. I think the MVP vote between Acuna and Betts is going to be extremely close. Acuna should rightfully win given the magnitude of his accomplishments this year, but a lot of old-school writers may vote in Betts direction because they aren't enamored with Acuna's style of play. Very spiteful on the part of writers who do that.
