it's been....man I can't even recall how many years...that I have been legit excited for a Braves season/lineup, this is great like even if they pick tomorrow to go 10-60 it will still be beyond what I was hoping for, what a fun team

There should be a DH for every position in case a star shortstop hurts themselves while batting or something

elentar posted:Markakis has racked up more WAR this season to date (1.9) than he has in any single full season since 2011. Which is kind of wild, but it's not like he's way beyond his career BABIP norms or anything (career .317, this year .330). I dunno. If Ender is anything to got by, it all comes down to where they're at in the lineup lol

the popes toes posted:When cable first started, you had TBS with the Braves and WGN with the Cubs every loving day. It was a renaissance for those teams and probably grew baseball appreciably. At least it was when I first started paying real attention to baseball. And probably others in the boomer gen. The same would occur if baseball was all over free basic cable again and they made some sort of conciliation to easing the cash cow, but not fan cow, blackout restrictions for TV and streaming. as a Braves fan I can assure you it was pretty great

Braves have been an absolute shock this season, I think you'd have trouble finding anybody who would've predicted they be #1 in the NL with one of the most potent offenses in the game right now, especially since like half the roster are still too young to buy beer

elentar posted:N: The Braves are the best team in the NL by a full game and the best team in baseball except for a couple scrub teams in the AL no one wants to hear about. Also Ozzie Albies, who hilariously is listed at 5' 8", is tied for the major league lead in dingers. he's not even a big guy for 5'8", you look at him and you see "bloop single specialist and great at defense" but then you see him murder loving baseballs and it's like, lmao is Ender still in the lead for stolen bases? I know it's literally every single time with him, even if he gets a double

boy howdy that's a weird one, but I'm assuming it has some utility in masking It's common enough that they should be able to show a legit diagnosis requiring it though so I'm assuming there wasn't one? Like they can't really just expect people to slowly die because some drug may possibly help mask a positive test right?

I think MLB.tv should have a retro option where it displays a really bare bones graphic showing the teams and score and inning and nothing else, and make it grainy with one of those filters they use to make dumb videos for garbage songs nowadays it would go very well with the cranky announcers complaining about modern shifts

FlamingLiberal posted:He was just officially released. Thankfully they didn't have any risk with him, but it was an odd decision I've heard that it was AA in the front office giving him a chance, probably as a favor. Didn't work out for him, but it's more than a lot of older players get and we had the spot open to test him out at the time so

seiferguy posted:Felix Hernandez has a 9.90 ERA in the first inning this season and that's not counting today when he gave up runs (and proceeded to be fine the rest of the game). I think it's time to go Tampa Bay on him and get a reliever to start his games. That just makes a different inning his first inning They should simulate a single inning right before the first real one

Even in the worst case scenario, I don't think it's the season. The Braves were prolific and winning a lot of games even before we brought him up. It will hurt tho, yeesh.
