The Braves might...have a decent bullpen now? I'd like to see Venters a tiny bit more (and Sam Freeman never again) but Brach looks effective again and I think Minter might make an effective closer.

I think if a player helps your team you go sign him. Flags fly forever.

I hate Joe Simpson just like everyone else, and didn't hear the actual comment, only read it but it came off more to me that he was (or could have been) saying "Wow this kid is incredibly talented, are we sure he's 19? yuk yuk yuk". Which is still dumb.

Maybe my hate for the Nats is clouding my judgement.

Y'all got one of them twitter vids of the quote?

IMO lets just say Simpson was insinuating Soto lied about his age so we can fire him and put Francoeur in the booth

Nolan Ryan's strikeout record is going to be untouched forever, that one's my favorite. Fuckin 5,714. Next is Randy Johnson, literally about a thousand back.

And did all the extremely illegal poo poo the Braves FO did that got John Coppolella banned for life. Don't forget that.

It got us Acuña and the team is in line to win the division i don't really give a poo poo how they got there.

I’m still curious what Coppy actually did that is so much worse than the standard extremely shady poo poo most teams do in international scouting that all that was necessary. I don’t doubt it’s something wild, but the NDAs probably mean it stays a mystery.

For all they lost, the Braves also managed to keep Cristian Pache, who has the look of a franchise center fielder in the making.

He got caught

Spears are used for hunting and fighting. So according to your logic it's acceptable to have a team called The Warriors that has a spear logo? And their crowd does a spear throwing motion while clicking their tongues in unison (The sitting Zulu king gives them the A-OK of course)?

Sounds like they'd have some kickass jersies tbh

Maybe if you wanna end racial subjugation you focus less on "group of people playing a children's game wear a logo you don't like" and more on "ICE rounding up people with dark skin" and "natives dying at colossal rates on reservations"

Fun story John Rocker asked if he could appear during alumni weekend last year and the Braves told him to gently caress off.
