Looks more and more like the Braves will be winning the Tim Tebow Sweepstakes.

He'll get some instructional league time in and then might get shipped out to winter ball, possibly in Venezuela. Then maybe to the AA team in Mississippi so he's not blocking any actual worthwhile players at the lower levels while they wait for him to crash out or get bored and go home.

That would be cool if Tebow got the Zika.

The best part about this is he doesn't bother to go back for his helmet or even ask for the ball.

Also, Trea Turner 2/3 of the Nationals' outfielders not giving a gently caress is hilarious.

Ahahahaha usually inside-the-parkers have some questionably-called non-error or a bad bounce, this is just literally the Washington outfielders deciding not to play baseball anymore

I've never cared about Frenchie one way or the other, but that video was great. I just watched the one on eliminating three point shots even though I despise basketball and it was also cool.

Who's the 2005 to 2015 outfielder who was worse than Frenchy? Chart is around 11:25.

Skip Schumaker looks likely. 1.4 bWAR in his career.

The guy at the bottom is definitely Schumaker. Just had to look up who the guy at the top is and I never would have guessed him.

And yet without his RBI in game 5 of the 2011 NLDS you don't ever get the 2011 World Series Champion Cardinals. This reminds me of proximate cause versus cause in fact. Anyone more recently out of law school care to chime in?

Eh the odds Tebow will ever set foot in Citifield as an actual Mets player is roughly 0.0 so whatever.
