Dickey maybe not broken? He's pitched three pretty good games in a row. Didn't get the win yesterday but also didn't give up 2 runs an inning *AHEM*

I just paid almost $200 for rooftop seats across from Wrigley.

It's for a bachelor party so whatever but I will not be doing this again.

Really? Is that like a "You have to experience the roof seats" luxury charge because that sounds ridiculous

Yeah it's including food and booze up to an hour before and after the game. It's apparently one of the better ones but I don't know what differentiates them. I looked on the website and it has a pretty good view.

As nice as Quintana would have been, would really hate for them to go all-in now, especially not with one of the few position player prospects near the majors (and especially not till Dansby shows he can actually hit consistently, right now he's slow-motion losing his job to Johan Camargo).

Yeah agreed. At this point I would rather keep him

Ender Inciarte owns and even if Blair is nothing and Dansby turns out to be a bust that trade is still a robbery.

I love Ender and really hope he's here for the long haul. He's younger than I thought too, only 26 and he's on the first year of a 5 year contract. I obviously hope Dansby works out but Camargo's production has been impressive.

There's a lot to be excited about with the Braves. I just hope they're able to keep these guys around for a run.

My dad sent me a picture of the body mag cover so I had to tell him my Javy fandom only extends so far. Sorry, Javy, I only like you as a friend.

I got my copy the other day and the mailman had put it perfectly in my mailbox so that the cover was facing out and I got a facefull of naked Javy when I opened it.

I don't like the guy, but this is really good. I'm glad the car accident wasn't the end of his career.

Also, lol at him being activated just in time to face the Cubs


Sydin posted:

Hide your Gatorade coolers.

For real though glad he made it back from the accident.

During his minor league rehab assignment he went 3-for-39 (.077) with one double, five walks, 12 strikeouts and a .191 OBP and .103 slugging percentage in 11 games at four different levels from rookie ball to Triple-A.

I know I should be excited to get Gray for a deal headlined by a kid with a 30% K-rate in A-ball, but I am high as hell on Florial...

This makes me worried that Braves would give up Acuna for Gray.
