The 105 win Houston Astros after advancing to the 2023 World Series and seeing the 86-76 Miami Marlins, who barely snuck into the playoffs, waiting for them.
The New York Mets are paying Max Scherzer & Justin Verlander $86M in 2023
The Atlanta Braves will pay Matt Olson, Austin Riley, Ronald Acuña Jr, Ozzie Albies, Travis d’Arnaud, Michael Harris, & Spencer Strider $74M
I can’t believe the Chicago Cubs will miss the playoffs because of a 20 minute montage/celebration of life after a Ronald Acuña Jr stolen base this past Tuesday.
Go ahead and release the times for the NLDS. I need to know if the Braves will play at 8:45 AM on the weather channel or if they’ll play at 9:30 AM over on Nick Jr
Spencer Strider might be lost for the season, Max Fried has a 16.20 ERA, and Sean Murphy is down with injury but the Braves are 5-2.
The power of friendship will carry this team to a championship.
TBS helped the Atlanta Braves become America’s team.
Players like Ronald Acuña Jr & Ozzie Albies help capture the Latin market for the Braves.
Signing Ohtani brings the Asian market. One move and the Atlanta Braves become a global brand. The battery would print money.
Shortly after the Braves swept the Athletics in Oakland, members of the Athletics invited the Braves for a cookout to wish them well going into the postseason. I’m hearing there will be a cornhole tournament.
Brian Snitker & Mark Kotsay are said to be manning the grills.
If you throw someone out of a game because of a blatantly obvious missed call, it should be an automatic suspension for the entire umpiring crew.
If Brian Snitker is punished because the umpires messed up, then the crew should be held accountable.
Reynaldo Lopez is the Ace, a bear is the best hitter in baseball, Adam Duvall & Jarred Kelenic are learning how to griddy and the power of friendship have the Braves with the best record in the National League.
My favorite joke is seeing everyone saying Drew Lugbauer will be an Atlanta Brave eventually not realizing that he holds the Mississippi Braves all time HR record.
Keys for the Atlanta Braves in game 3:
1. Score runs. Preferably early. Runs are often undervalued by the casual fan. If the Braves score more runs than the Phillies I like their chances.
2. Pitch well. If we prevent Philly from scoring, we should have an easier time winning.
“The Braves haven’t been over .500 all year, Ronald Acuña Jr is out for the year, and we’re at the trade deadline. The Braves should sell and try again next year.”
Alex Anthopoulos:
So correa deal is dead and he is going to Braves at a discount wtf
See this is why I can't be positive buster Olney and svp are happy again
It's over its cursed
Los Angeles Dodgers: “We don’t want to sign Carlos Correa because we’re afraid it’ll upset our fans.”
San Francisco Giants: “We’re going to sign Carlos Correa because it WILL upset Dodger fans.”
Travis Demeritte has taken an opportunity and made the most of it. Not only has he won a major league roster spot, but he’s become a fan favorite in Atlanta.
The best part of sports is loving those random players way too much. Because most baseball fans are like “oh the Braves signed Duvall. Solid signing I guess.”
Meanwhile Braves fans are planning a parade for Adam Duvall’s return because he absolutely deserves it.
If this is the end for Pablo Sandoval, then he may retire as a Giants legend but he’ll always be loved in Braves country for giving everything he had left in the tank for the first half of 2021.
The Travis Demeritte inside the park HR. A random fun moment from the Braves season.
Never forget when Demeritte randomly carried the team for a few weeks.
The Chicago Cubs got swept because the Braves played a 60 second montage video for a historical accomplishment by Ronald Acuña Jr. MLB should really investigate!!!
David Ortiz: 55.3 bWAR 51.0 fWAR
Andruw Jones: 62.7 bWAR 67.0 fWAR
One was elected as a first ballot Hall of Famer today. The other will be entering year 6 on the ballot next year.
Pretty cool moment after the Braves swept the Marlins. The Marlins gifted everyone in the Braves organization a gift basket and wished them the best of luck in the postseason.
They’re now chopping in solidarity on the field.
The Chicago White Sox have Nicky Lopez, Kevin Pillar, Michael Soroka, Jesse Chavez, Touki Toussaint, Braden Shewmake, & Jared Shuster.
They’re actually the Atlanta Braves AAAA team.
