showed some promise before shitting himself and making everyone miserable with his presence? fuck you’re good
And Coppy gets a fucking lifetime ban for amateur signing infractions. Man, fuck MLB. The Braves need to appeal that shit. Totally subjective and heavy-handed.
It blows my mind Coppy got a lifetime ban and we still don't even know what he did. man people must have fucking hated his guts.
Apparently he wasn’t forthcoming enough, unlike all of the Astros and Red Sox who have shown nothing but contrition almost to the point of being too contrite.
Pretty sure for him the cover up was worse than the crime. He apparently kept lying to Manfred and MLB even when presented with evidence and others’ admissions. When you’re known to be a grade A asshole people don’t give you a second chance when you lie so blatantly to their face.
Understandable but Coppy trying to win seemingly helped baseball prospects by overcompensating them, whereas the Astros tanked the free agent and arbitration values of a bunch of pitchers with their cheating.
My beautiful baby boy Max’s response to this is funny either way you slice it. Either the social media team mistook the Lil Dicky show for the 1993 political comedy, starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver, about a lookalike who has to become president after the real president dies during heart surgery, OR Max is binging the 1993 political comedy, starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver...
Can someone tell me how tf Rafael Belliard, a career .221 hitter with a career WAR of -0.2, played 17 years in the major league? Great defense does not make up for zero power and a terrible average. Why was he on our team in 1995? He would have no place on an mlb roster in today’s game.
Caught Game 3 today on SportsSouth and the Indians were hitting Manny Ramirez seventh. That’s how stacked that lineup was
Still not entirely sure how we bested this stacked Cleveland team but lost to the Twins and Jays. Jack Morris was our daddy, I guess
It's so funny because I could argue this Indians team was the most talented team we faced in the World Series in the 90s by far. 1996/1999 Yankees would probably be in that argument as well.
Why is Omar Vizquel gonna get into the HOF? He had a league average or higher OPS 2 times in 24 career seasons
9 straight gold gloves and 11 overall is what will get him in I would think. That's not to say I necessarily agree with it and his entry would make Andruw's snub even more absurd
I see what you're saying but hitting a career .221 is putrid. Atleast Vizquel hit for average (.272). If you're going to roster Belliard, he should strictly be a defensive replacement. I would be physically ill if I saw him coming up to the plate for our team now.
It’s annoying as hell how little they used to show the score/count/outs. What would be the benefit of not having it on the screen the majority of the time like they do these days?
Just watching the braves win game 6 together with chipper, javy, maddux, glavine, etc on a video call
Maybe Puke’s not such a bad guy after all (provided he got hit in the stomach before taking this pic)
I’ve acquired 99% of the Duke rookie cards and have shorted Melancon and Smith cards. I’ll be rolling in dozens of dollars by the end of the season.
Kiley McDaniel mock draft: 25. Atlanta Braves: Justin Lange, RHP, Llano HS (TX), Dallas Baptist commit Luckily for Lange, after popping up in the fall and going to the top of the priority list for scouts, his season started early enough to get in enough outings that clubs got him cross-checked and saw him go from sitting in the low-90s with his fastball velocity in the fall to hitting 100 mph regularly this spring and 101 mph in a recent bullpen. His raw ability is as good as Abel's, but the scouting track record is very limited, so picking him is a bit of a leap of faith.
Is that a cat or a doll at the beginning of this video? Because if it’s a cat, that a power move bring it to the NLCS
7 year old me was at that game. We left early. True story. We were on Marta trying to listen to the end of the game on my dad’s handheld radio as it broke in and out. Marta was of course mostly empty because we were the only idiots to leave early. I made my dad stay until the end of every game for the rest of my life.
