Carlos Danger Old-Timey Member Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 So who's the commentator, the sidekick, the coloured guy, and the statsperson? Why do they need a colored guy? Not sure if that is racist or advocating quotas.. ..
glory Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 AA making moves... The Braves have developed more talent than anyone in recent years yet no one will make a stink about this. The best position player we have drafted in like 15 years is Kevin Pillar, but Shatkins gets crucified for hiring their own people.

Do you know of a forum for the Braves, it'd be interesting to see their reactions to stuff like this? I guess I could google but I'm being lazy... He did draft Vladito!

We don't know if it was for talent assessment or violations of policies or not being aligned with the GM. The Braves are hyper sensitive and on super secret probation. So it could be for a lot of things..

L54 Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Looks like I lied and the presence is much smaller than I thought

Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Looks like Grandal has agreed to a contract with the Brewers.
glory Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Looks like Grandal has agreed to a contract with the Brewers. Finally. Now maybe Martin will get traded.
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Finally. Now maybe Martin will get traded. Maybe back to the Dodgers?
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Maybe back to the Dodgers? Martin for Ryu could be a fit. Similar contracts, similar risk and reward, both teams dealing from a position of strength to fill a position of need.
glory Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Maybe back to the Dodgers? That would be a logical spot for him.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 I don't have time to run the over-under contest right now...but there are some crazy opening numbers (Jays 76.5, Mets 83.5, Dodgers 95, Astros 97.5). I've been advocating a Braves Under bet figuring they open at 89.5...but 84 I wouldn't mess with.
Brownie19 Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Looks like Grandal has agreed to a contract with the Brewers. Solid move for the Brew Crew. As much as I love him, contenders can't be rolling with Erik Kratz in the playoffs.
Laika Community Moderator Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Grandal should be getting a Russel Martin type contract. I agree with baseball twitter that a lot of signs are pointing towards a player strike. Yikes.
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Grandal should be getting a Russel Martin type contract. I agree with baseball twitter that a lot of signs are pointing towards a player strike. Yikes. Hope the owners push hard for a cap.

I agree with baseball twitter that a lot of signs are pointing towards a player strike. Yikes. I read that he turned down $60m from the Mets. Can't really blame the owners if he turned that down and settled for $18m. But yeah, MLB apparently making record money despite poor attendance around the league. Players are eventually going to get fed up with the frugal front office's, although it seems free agents have been getting paid so far this winter.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) f*** that stupid Deadspin **** Laura Wagner that has zero sense of humour and has a witch hunt out for Bauer. He took it a little far continuing to tweet to the girl who called Bauer her least favourite player. But it's all part of his humour and intrigue. Edited January 10, 2019 by TheHurl
glory Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Even Bauer succumbs to SJWs. He was our last hope.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Even Bauer succumbs to SJWs. He was our last hope. The girl went and said she's been crying for days. It's male nature that when a girl cries we apologize even when we do nothing wrong. Look at the Deadspin writers history though https://kinja.com/laurawagner1 She is just a **** and pushes my social justice issues (language used in sport) to the background. As a SJW I want to see her publicly flogged.

glory Old-Timey Member Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Dozier signs for 1/9 with the Nats. That’s a really good deal for them.
