PUIG TO THE BRAVES

[SJ24]

lol if you think people are envious of someone based solely on how they look, then yikes. only one person here is still in high school.
i'd rather not be married to a vapid piece of garbage, no matter how outwardly attractive she is.

LMAO

she's also kind of a psychopathic liar, so

Hard for me to say since I dont know her

Joe simpson?

Close... Jeff Schultz. The single worst article I’ve ever seen in the Athletic

Joe simpson?

I was sure it was Shanks. I am both disappointed and pleasantly surprised at the same time.

looking at expected stats, Puig pretty much is what his stats showed.

slightly better than average hitter with above average power.

At 29 and after being in stats driven orgs, probably not particularly likely to see growth. Maybe a one year deal will be motivating.

I called it when everyone thought he was going to become the 2nd coming of Christ after his rookie year.

money quote

Before the signing, ZiPS had the Braves at 30.1% odds to win the division and the Nationals at 33.2%. Signing Puig flips that, with the Braves moving to 34.2% and the Nationals to 31.5%.

.270/.333/.481, 9 HR, 10 2B, 31 RBI, and a 110 OPS+ according to ZiPS.

I'll happily take that and whistle all the way to the bank. As we've been discussing (and the article mentions) you don't need to move the needle much in what's going to be a wild two months - and we got the last player that's left who's probably the most capable of moving any needle at all.

Plugging him in, moving Ozuna to DH full-time, and creating an Inciarte/Duvall platoon makes us better than we were before Markakis decided to stay home.

i mean it's objectively true she lies constantly.
being able to stand up there and gaslight the nation is wild.

The idea that Ronald Acuna will immediately latch on to Yasiel Puig and emulate all his behavior is kind of funny and pretty racist. Acuna's the star here. He doesn't need a mentor.

Hot.

Seriously, can we have one thread here without you bringing your politics into it?

Most politicians at that level or people working for them in this instance are essentially actors imo. Their speak and actions are for their base and nothing more.
