Who else is excited for the Rays-Pirates World Series?
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Holy sh*t it’s over for the Mets. Imagine getting swept by the Tigers when you throw both your “aces”.
Nice to see the annual meltdown come earlier this year

It was sleight of hand addition by subtraction because all they did was flipped a better offensive catcher for a better defensive catcher. Pure manipulation so they could pretend they "added" something to the 2023 team. No you didn't. All you did was reshuffled the roster a bit with a new name. That's all they ever do though, look for some media angle to sell the fans that are too stupid to recognize the difference and excite them to come spend money.
They did the same thing with Olson last year. Try to distract everyone with Freeman leaving by getting Olson in a trade BEFORE Freeman signed with someone else. All while shipping off tons of valuable prospects and selling it as getting a younger model at 1B. Anyone with a brain knew they downgraded significantly, and quite frankly more expensively, albeit in a different currency (because they're cheap with actual money).
Tired of this bullsh*t and it's not even April.

You guys seem to think I want Murphy to suck when I make comments like that.
It doesn’t change the fact they still ignored the outfield and SS. If they win the World Series in spite of that it doesn’t make anything I said less true.
I’m not going to sit here and say I wouldn’t think they’d be even better shape if they filled those holes. They would be. And the October record is the only one that matters by the time November rolls around.
No one in Atlanta gives a f*ck they won 101 games last year, dead srs.
All we can do is hope they win in spite of the owners bullsh*t, which everyone is rooting, but pointing to their record to argue they aren’t ass holes failing to give the Braves the best odds when it wouldn’t cost that much extra is not a counter argument fyi. Those are not mutually exclusive things.
If I put my life savings on red on a game of roulette I’m still a stupid mother f*cker even if it comes up red.

Braves-Orioles was a 10/10 series this weekend. The O's may have finally arrived. Best team the Braves have played so far.

Let's not get carried away.
The O's have only played 9 games in their own division at the moment, none of which even against the two best teams in the division yet (Rays and Jays).... You might want to see how they actually fair in their own division before spouting off some nonsense that it's holding them back and they'd give the Braves fits if they were in the NL East.
They've had 20 games against the Tigers, Royals, White Sox ,and Nationals to this point.
I came in here trying to give them props with the progress made, cause they have for sure. They're a solid team and put up a good series. Then we have this clown coming in here going full retard trying to throw shade at the Braves. Just lmao, go back to fantasy land and let the adults worry about real life baseball. You're not ready for that conversation yet.

it's not about their divsion, it's about how much weaker the NL East is. Braves are lucky to be in that weak division.Let's not get carried away.

Stop looking at 1 month of records. At the end of March everyone had pegged the NL East as the toughest division in baseball this year.
Lmao at trying to do a 180 1 month later and saying it’s the weakest. No, you’re just short sighted.
The Braves were like a .500 team after the month of April last year. Imagine the Mets thinking they had it on easy street…. Oh wait… they did make that mistake.
Go back to your fantasy chat. Like I said, you’re just exposing yourself being unable to talk real baseball.
Edit
Just checked the Phillies record last year too and both the Braves and Phillies were under .500 after April.
Look how that turned out. 3 teams in the playoffs and the NL representative in the World Series
Yeah…. The NL East is weak because it’s having another slow April lmao

Even within that where they're ranked second in the power rankings there's this piece
Arguably, the NL East is tougher at the top than the AL East.
But yeah Orioles would thrive here because it's weak after 1 month of baseball. Just admit you're a f*cking clown and move on. You say stupid sh*t in here you get called on it.

Oh by the way.... MLB had NL East projected as the best heading into 2023, granted this is mid December but still.

And I posted two sources here. MLB and CBS aren't the same entity. CBS didn't have them first but they certainly didn't call them weak. You keep digging a deeper hole now trying to pretend you know more about baseball than MLB itself. It's fun to mock the MLB's and the NFL's and the NBA's when they do stupid sh*t but the reality is they're in the business of knowing their sport and do it well enough to run billion dollar enterprises. Every league makes decisions that are easy to play Monday morning QB with and call them incompetent after the fact. The reality is they all operate extremely effectively. If deep down you actually think you know more and have better resources than these leagues it really does show how far your head really is up your own ass.
So yeah, MLB sh*ts on you in terms of being a reliable projection system you retard. Imagine thinking you know more than them. So notoriously incompetent that you just keep coming back to watch their product year after year.

Mike Soroka returns tomorrow!
This is a guy everyone should be rooting to see make it back after everything he's had to deal with. Really could not come at a more needed time considering this rotation.

Tuesday - Mets up 4-1….. Braves win
Wednesday - Mets up 4-1… Braves win
Thursday - Mets up 9-2…. Braves win
LMAO it’s over for the Mets now.
Marlins vs Braves the rest of the way. Marlins have a brutal August and September schedule though. NL East is basically over.

Someone seriously needs to tell Albies to convert to a RH hitter. LH is not working for him clearly.

He doesn't even need to match his line when there's a left handed pitcher on the mound. Even if righty vs righty drops him a bit all he needs to beat is .245 avg. Why is no one telling him to give up switch hitting? The verdict has long been out.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

They got hot at the right time and obviously enjoyed every minute of it but if you don't think this team has holes that need to be filled you're stupid as f*ck. This is not a complete team the way the Dodgers are built. The Mets and Phillies may not be complete teams either but the difference is they go out and work to fill those holes too. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.
Let's also stop pretending the Braves haven't been very fortunate. The Braves had TWO gaping holes in their outfield to start last season, with the one spot they did have filled going to a guy coming off ACL surgery. No one expected Michael Harris to come up and rake like he did, so don't even pretend that was their plan for last year. They were content having no real outfield because they were cheap.... tell me I'm wrong.
Then there's the pitching... once again Braves really needed a pitcher last year. They came in with Morton, Fried, and Anderson... and after that a bunch of question marks. They did NOTHING here either.... and once again were very fortunate Spencer Strider came up looking like Cy Young. Strider wasn't pegged to do this. Braves management again got lucky as f*ck... especially when it was coupled with Anderson turning to sh*t.
Obviously Harris and Strider have secured their spots for next year but expecting similar performances would be asking a lot.
You still have a huge hole in the outfield even with Harris earning one for good though and they'll still do nothing for it. You now also have a new problem with Swanson leaving and the Braves will do nothing about it. The Braves also lost Jansen FYI, but I'm not even asking them to go get a new closer. So there's places where it is ok for them to let go of something, I'm not asking for an All Star team here.
Hard to believe your dumb retarded ass thinks I'm whining because the Braves do really need a couple things added to this roster. I'm not whining that they go sign DeGrom or Verlander or Rodon or Judge.... or even Turner despite the SS need.
You don't think it would have been great to add DeGrom as a starter? There's technically an open spot there but it's not a real need so I'm not in here asking them to go do that.
You literally called it out in your own post though. They extended a bunch of talent FOR CHEAP. So why can't they spend? Why can't they go get one or two guys that isn't for cheap? I think every Braves fan should be unhappy with the owners/GM situation right now. They've had a golden ticket drop into their laps with a bunch of young players all busting through that the team is able to control for an extended period of time well below what they should be earning based on their value, and the few spots where they haven't had someone come through the pipeline to fill in a position for cheap they STILL won't go out and close those gaps.
That's utterly ridiculous. Imagine being that greedy of an organization that you've been fortunate enough to exploit roughly 12 of the 14 needed positions with cheap talent and you won't pay up to round out the last two.
Yeah, Braves fans should be pissed. Dead ass serious. Now f*ck off.
