Death Vomit Wizard posted:Harper owns and Braves fans should be ashamed for booing him. Harper plays the heel and he knows he’s playing the heel. If he signed for the Braves in the offseason it’d be a hero turn and everyone who booed him would cheer. It’s theater, and lord knows baseball can use all the theater it can get, we can save the shame for things people really ought to be ashamed of.

Can definitely tell a playoff race is on because I can’t stand to watch any game live or often for hours afterward and baseball’s not fun anymore.

Acuña hit his 25th homer today. Previous major leaguers to hit 25 in a season before their 21st birthday: Eddie Mathews, Orlando Cepeda, Al Kaline, Frank Robinson, Mel Ott, Alex Rodriguez. edit: also, out of that group, the only two with unequivocally better age 20 seasons were Ott and A-Rod, though Mathews had an outrageous three-year run afterward and Robinson was consistently great for a long time. elentar fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Sep 10, 2018 |

Well Played Mauer posted:My favorite part about Acuna is that he was my last draft pick in fantasy this year thanks to the Braves' service time fuckery. I hate that too but since they may well still win a division race they weren't supposed to I'm hypocritically prepared to smash the "Everybody Does It" button and enjoy the extra full year before he goes off to the Dodgers or Yankees or whoever.

A little relieved that the Nationals lost tonight, really didn’t want them rolling into Atlanta on a six-game winning streak and knowing a sweep would put them into range for a miracle comeback.

howe_sam posted:John Henry closed down his trading firm a couple of years ago, so Fenway Sports Group is probably his primary asset these days, but that's a lot more than just the Red Sox. Hell Liverpool is maybe a bigger money maker? Liverpool certainly turns over a great deal more money, though player acquisition is also vastly more expensive at the highest levels of European football, so it's hard to say what if any actual profits are being made. tadashi posted:I would be thrilled if Arthur Blank would go ahead and buy up all the sports teams in Atlanta. Sure, the Falcons aren't amazing, but he has made the 2 teams he owns in Atlanta the most important teams in Atlanta. Liberty Media is sort of an exception to the usual rule since they pretty openly run the Braves as a tax shelter. I actually think the Braves' resurgence will be short lived without a change in ownership, no way will they get their new stars to sign the sort of deals that Freeman did to stay in town.

will_colorado posted:teams that traveled to Hawaii actually played back to back series against them so like 7 or 8 games in a row against with a day off in the middle, and the same for the Islanders when they would play road games. teams still go out to play Hawaii at the NCAA level, and Hawaii travels to play them. They play 3 game series in conference but 4-game series nonconference in Honolulu with doubleheaders on the Sunday, and then whenever possible they group their away games so they're playing 7 or 8 games (3-game weekend series, off day, midweek single or doubleheader, off day, 3-game weekend series) in a 10-day span

Epic High Five posted:My hope now is that we end up with 2nd best record so that we face the Dodgers instead of the Brewers I don't see the Braves catching the Cubs (or Brewers for that matter), but then I also don't see the Braves beating any other playoff team in a best of 5. Who cares, it's all icing from here.

The Barves won their 90th game tonight in a season where most of the models had them coming in around the mid-70s. If they win their last two against the Phillies, they'll have added 20 wins to last year's total.Epic High Five posted:as a socialist I can't actually say that he was probalbly a good person, but I appreciated the Braves being on TBS for so much of my life so I could always see them despite my moving around Once he stopped dicking around and second-guessing (or actually directly making) managerial decisions, he was actually pretty chill as owners go. He was personally invested in the games, for sure. His whole legacy is weird, he did the Captain Planet thing which was silly but nonetheless very sincere in trying to draw attention to how capitalism fucks up the world. And he's one of a handful of people who basically brought bison back into being. But then he does own all that land in Montana, like all the other super-rich shitheads who buy there or Wyoming or Colorado where their grandkids can establish little fiefdoms as society crashes down around them.
