  1. UCLA wouldn't pay Jamie Dixon's buyout so why would they pay the buyout for a worse coach? Hopefully CDC has gone to Shaka and said if they come calling take the deal and we'll lower the buyout but I'm not holding my breath.
  2. Everyone one of his hot streaks has been followed by a month where he hits .150 so I'm only cautiously optimistic, but it would be nice if this was Dansby Swanson's breakout year.
  3. Since Der Klassiker is horribly predictable please enjoy this goal of the year nominee from Leipzig's Matheus Cunha
  4. Max Fried was outstanding last night. As the Braves are essentially auditioning the young starters for rotation spots he earned a couple of more looks. Folty had a good rehab start last night and Gausman makes his season debut tonight. Hopefully the rotation can find some stability. It was nice to sweep the Cubs after the stinker of a first series in Philly.
  5. 99 mph with movement. Get the fuck outta here.
  6. This response after the Braves just locked up a stud for 10 years on potentially one of the biggest bargains ever is why the internet is a terrible place. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  7. Passan added they have two options at $17 million a year so the deal could be 10 for $124 which is insane value for the Braves potentially.
  8. HELL FUCKIN YEAH
  9. Very Newk performance tonight, didn't give up a run but couldn't get through five innings. Bats were hot and the Cubs were a mess. Nice to get a W in the home opener.
  10. The Braves worst start was 0-10 in 1988.
  11. bread sticks for dayz
  12. I take comfort in expectations being met so it's extremely comforting to know the bullpen is as assy as we thought it was going to be...
  13. Yeah it's thoroughly deflating when AA said they were going to spend money and were going to be around the top 10 in payroll and their opening day payroll is actually lower than it was last year. I understand (to a degree) not throwing all kinds of money around but they need a fair amount of help in their pitching staff both starting and relief and with a lot of talent in the farm system to sit back and mostly do nothing is so frustrating. When you compound that with the fact that the revenues are through the roof but Liberty Media is funneling all revenue into real estate ventures and not the team it just makes it worse. The good news is it is possible to have a level of disgust with ownership, but love the players and this group gave us a lot to love last year so here's hoping they can make more magic!
  14. Glass Half Full Acuña is an absolute stud, Freddie's last two months were an anomaly, Donaldson is healthy, Ozzie can be more consistent, having Mac back and Markakis provides veteran leadership, Dansby and Inciarte are elite defenders, Camargo coming off the bench makes the bench better, there is a ton of talent in the starting pitching staff, Another year in the system will make Gausman betterm Darren O'Day will provide a steady arm for the bullpen, the players love Snitker and would run through a wall for him. Glass Half Empty The improvement of young players isn't always a linear upward trajectory, Freddie can be injury prone, Donaldson is 33 and hasn't been healthy in a couple of years, McCann and Markakis could be washed up, Inciarte and Swanson are way too inconsistent offensively, they have no starting pitcher they can trust, they don't have a closer they can trust, Snitker is one of the worst in-game managers in baseball. To me they're within a couple of games either way of .500. If things go right they're certainly contenders, but the fact that they didn't upgrade the pitching staff combined with Folty's injury concerns and the fact that everyone in the division but Miami got better leads me to believe they're going to take a step back but then again I thought they were going to be awful last year.
  15. If Chris Del Conte allows this shit to drag on another year it shows that the Athletic Department doesn't care about basketball. This is pathetic.
  16. I thought it was interesting that Texas is only in nine more brackets than Indiana, the last team in, but still has a higher average seeding than eight at large teams. A loss to Kansas is going to make Texas a significant wild card on selection Sunday.
  17. 10-man Colorado gets a 94th minute equalizer against Portland in a blizzard. Coldest kickoff temperature (18 degrees) in league history.
  18. I'm not sure how Herediano compares to other MLS teams, but man Pity Martinez looks good. He may be more skilled than Almiron with the ball at his feet, but he's not as fast which was Miggy's calling card. Barco looks reinvigorated. He roomed with Josef when they were training in California and apparently Josef was pushing him really hard every day and so far it looks to have paid off. I'm excited for the season. I'm coming down to Atlanta for the home opener and maybe the Orlando game in May.
  19. We''re currently 6th which means we'd have to beat the top 3 seeds in the conference to win the tournament so I don't think you have to worry about that.
  20. Honestly I think Coleman should've brought the ball up slower. He was going WAY too fast imo.
  21. Great debut for Miguel Almiron vs Huddersfield Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  22. People who use the term "SJWs" are insufferable.
  23. Pretty amazing how little anyone cares about nuance when the conversation is about Brady vs Montana when all last night proved was that Belichick is the greatest coach in football history. (Brady is the GOAT, by the way)
  24. NC State was ranked in the top 25 in men's basketball and scored 24 fucking points in a 40 minute game with a fuckin' shot clock but yes, lets dump on unranked women's basketball teams.
