Nick Markakis is retiring after 15 seasons. He finishes tied for 54th place in career doubles.

blossommirage posted:Kakes had a great career. When he first came to Atlanta, I did not think I'd be this sad about him leaving. Definitely could have gotten 3k in a just world. Seems like the combo of feeling your performance level start to dip while being aware that your kids are growing up awful fast is a tough one. My favorite Braves retirement remains Billy Wagner, who left 10 million on the table because he decided he'd rather be back on his farm with his alpacas.

Braves will open at 33% capacity, which is too many but better than the at least 50% I would have guessed. https://twitter.com/mlbbowman/status/1370747059729539072?s=20

Braves need to be buying out the rest of Freeman's career, wondering what that's going to leave them in terms of trying to buy extra years of Soroka and Fried, or maybe before long Anderson and Pache. Still a decent chance this bunch remains the core of the team for a good while though.

abelwingnut posted:what other celebs/athletes from other sports have taken a pa in spring training? i remember russell wilson did, like, two or three years ago? and i think he did ok? Coming out of high school, Russell Wilson was definitely considered more of a baseball prospect than a football one; he got drafted pretty late because of signability questions but the Orioles offered him a signing bonus more in line with someone taken in the top 10 rounds.

I love Opening Day for many reasons, mostly because the baseball hasn't actually started yet and thus the hurt hasn't either, but also because it's the day when all the non-injured ace pitchers and wannabe aces are out on the mound. What other day do you get Ryu vs. Cole, de Grom vs. Scherzer, Fried vs. Nola, and Darvish vs. Bumgarner (ok he used to be, still has name recognition), plus of course others like Kershaw out there too? Good day.

I always kinda liked the draft days when they would just go until every team had selected the kids of everyone in the front office and gotten bored with calling out random names. Especially since once in a great while you would get a Piazza or someone out of it. hmm that was an unexpected doublepost instead of one edited post elentar fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Apr 3, 2021 |

Shimrra Jamaane posted:So a new narrative going around is that this move is disrespectful to the memory of Hank Aaron. Let that one sink in. those absolutely horrible fuckers. when the Milwaukee Braves moved down to Atlanta, the "price" was that the city had to quickly and enthusiastically ditch all segregation in public accommodations, just like Houston had to for the Colt .45s a few years earlier. Aaron had to be talked into making the move, having grown up in Mobile and not wanting any part of the South again. what's disrespectful to his memory is creating a voting law that is very obviously aimed at disenfranchising Black voters. but you all know that, and so do they, and they aren't capable of shame so instead here i am getting angry and ashamed on their behalf.

The history of these things indicates that if Georgia fixes their bigoted law then they will immediately be given the next available All-Star Game. Happened with the Super Bowl when Arizona refused to acknowledge MLK Day for a while, happened in North Carolina with the ACC/NCAA Championships over their transphobic poo poo. Just sort it out.

Anyway literally no one is going to care about this politically by this time next year, if the Democrats want to hold onto the Senate in general and Warnock's spot in particular then they should turn on the money spigot because that's gonna get a lot more people to the polls than anything immediately sports-related.

Shrecknet posted:So OK. The Townsville Towns give 500 ABs to Rick and 500 ABs to Tony. Tony puts up a 100 OPS+ season. Rick puts up a 0.0 WAR season. You can't really tell because the average shifts from year to year and also there's lots of ways to get to either a 0.0 WAR season (even excluding defensive contributions) or a 100+ OPS one, all you could really surmise from that is that Tony is likely a better hitter than Rick (though even still you'd have to take their positions into account).
