Uhhhh The Prime Video part comes from an announcement yesterday that the FanDuel Sports Network RSNs would be available via Prime Video as a standalone subscription. Essentially speaking, if you’re a cord-cutter who lives in the Braves market (which covers a vast swath of the Southeast) and you have Prime Video and you’re willing to pay whatever the subscription fee may be, then you’ll actually be able to stream the Braves without having a cable subscription. Needless to say, this is a pretty big deal and another step away from the dark ages of the local blackout days.
Oh, you thought it would be free with Prime? We live in a capitalistic hellhole, baby. You best believe you're paying out the ass for it.
I hoped they'd do something like the Pelicans where if you're in the TV area you get the Braves OTA. Wishful thinking I know.
I just polished off a 9.5% abv IPA and don’t have work tomorrow if anyone wants to start a Barves argument with lower case one two
I saw where they posted work being done to the kids section of the outfield. Have they said what will be in center field now and if that’s the only changes this offseason? Spoiler
Would be a fun story to get Soroka back for the pen. He dominated last year after moving to the pen from the rotation. Stopped throwing his sinker and became a 4 seamer/slider guy and was among the highest K% for relievers. While his BB% was still high, his K% to B% was 3 to 1. Gave up an OPS of less than .600. Dude might have found a second career as a reliever.
Isn't he likely to take a pillow contract after being mostly shit post surgery last year? That sounds right up AA's alley, but I think he probably just stays in LA.
Most likely, but I think LA declined to offer him the QO, so a short term prove it deal might work. I was mostly referring to Alex never signing anyone that the media mentions
Also, didn't Spencer not have TJ proper? Wasn't it some kind of brace surgery and there wasn't another actual tear of the UCL? I swear I read that somewhere, but don't remember if it's true or not
Yeah, he had internal brace surgery, not standard TJ. Less invasive and supposed to lead to quicker recovery, but obviously they're taking their time with him.
But there wasn’t another actual tear of the ligament, right? Wasn’t it a bone fragment or something and the brace is supposed to strengthen the repaired ligament?
Bone fragment that tore through connective tissue surrounding the ligament and destabilized it but didn't actually tear it again.
Caleb Durbin has been killing it with the Yankees ever since the Braves traded him for Lucas Luetge. https://www.milb.com/player/caleb-durbin-702332
