  1. Congrats you got to see our piece of shit manager put in the same piece of shit reliever in another high leverage situation only to see him shit the bed again.
  2. The Hartford Yard Goats (don't ask) minor league team (Rockies AA affiliate) plays 10:35am games on Wednesday which is great because I work nights so I can go before work. When Vlad Jr's team came through town I had to go see him play. His first two at bats he just crushed base hits, an RBI double and an RBI single. The ball just explodes off his bat. In the bottom of the 6th my buddies and I decided to go get lunch because the Yard Goats were ass. We were out in right field eating and I suggested we go sit out in the left field bleachers because Vladdy was coming up in the next inning and, well, just maybe...yanno. We sit in the last row (there are only 8-10 rows out there, not a deep stand) and Vladdy comes up and HITS THE FUCKIN' BALL OVER OUR HEADS for a mammoth home run. I was a convert that day. He's just a player you gotta see to believe. I hope he absolutely crushes major league pitching.
  3. John Brooks just scored the most wide open goal of all time.
  4. Leeds is down 2-0 to Brentford in the 68th minute so without a miracle Norwich will be up 6 points with two games to play and a +9 GD edge on Leeds meaning they're practically promoted. Leeds will be three back of Sheffield United and play Aston Villa next who have won 10 straight games. Aston Villa closes with Leeds and Norwich but even so have to be the favorites to win the playoff based on form.
  5. The Braves outscored the Indians 15-0 over the last three innings last night through the first three innings tonight.
  6. If, and it's a huge if, the Braves make the playoffs this year I think we'll remember the night of April 20th when the Braves rallied for 5 runs in the 9th inning and my goddamn MVP Ronald Acuna delivered the final blow in a comeback win.
  7. Mario Vrancic rescued a point for Norwich today. They moved 5 points clear of Sheffield United and Leeds with three to play so they'll really have to fuck it up to not get promoted. They've scored 9 goals in the 75th minute or later and earned NINETEEN points from those nine goals. That doesn't seem to bode well for their future in the Prem... Sheffield United has a +6 goal differential edge on Leeds. Both teams have to play already relegated Ipswich Town and 5th place Aston Villa so the second automatic promotion spot should have a fun finish. 4-6 are West Brom, Villa and Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough is one point clear of Bristol City and two points clear of Derby County, but both of those teams have played one fewer game but play each other. The race for sixth will be tight.
  8. You wanna guess which fuck head walked in the winning run tonight?
  9. Glass half full: having a bullpen that doesn't meet any kind of standard of an actual Major league bullpen gives Snitker one less thing he can fuck up. He can't make a wrong choice when all the choices are bad. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  10. Touki Toussaint saved Sean Newcomb's ass tonight.
  11. Barco with an absolute banger tonight. It was nice to see Atlanta look more like Atlanta tonight, but the Revs are reaaaaaaaally shitty.
  12. Can we launch Sean Newcomb into the sun please?
  13. Utterly outrageous https://blogs.fangraphs.com/ozzie-albies-just-signed-a-stinker/
  14. This is from a Sporting News interview. Dansby's injury problem was so bad last year he could barely put on his shirt.
  15. April was actually his only decent month, fell off in May and never got it going. I think I read that his wrist was really fucked up last year and he never got healthy during the season.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Since Der Klassiker is horribly predictable please enjoy this goal of the year nominee from Leipzig's Matheus Cunha
  19. 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.
  20. 99 mph with movement. Get the fuck outta here.
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. HELL FUCKIN YEAH
  24. 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.
