The Atlanta Braves

I do not believe this is how good gamblers approach this type of situation but I sure hope you win that bet!

In other news that probably nobody will really care about but, as the father of a young son who I really hope will have at least a marginal interest in watching a little bit of the games with dad next season, start times for night games and Sunday games will be moving up 15 next season, 7:20 and 1:20.

6:20*

Road schedule dates suck

McBride is a potential blue shirt guy. I bet that’s what happens unless we miss on Wright.

A guy I work with is a donor at UT. He said he was discussing Vols with a few other guys there and CJP comes up to them and shakes their hand, kisses babies, etc. Then he randomly asks, “do y’all guys bet?” The all responded with a yes and CJP said, “Well I would bet on us against West Virginia, Florida, and South Carolina. Big.” Then he just walked away like a badass.

I know, cool story bro but I’m taking the Vols now and the over

For what it’s worth I know someone high up in high school football world who says Redneck Kiffin is supremely confident in beating Florida.

I doubt that, if that's the case he likely ends up at Arkansas.

The only reason I can think is they are fully committed to Dans, Ozzie, and Johan getting as many AB’s as possible and didn’t want to take the chance of bringing in Murphy and alienating him and it causing issues. He’s awful defensively but having him as a late PH would be so nice.

Dansby with a cool 1.104 OPS last ten games

There’s literally zero risk to making him a PH for a month ha.

Why? He’s likely going to be a redshirt at either school anyways. Hasn’t played football but a few years.

No I agree but I can’t think of any other logical reason to not put in a claim unless they can’t afford the $4M. He was a perfect bench option for the Braves

Braves calling up Stewart so most likely a DL stint for Zuk.

Gotta love Snit rocking with Ender in the 2 spot with a .611 OPS in August

Making a lot of good contact. The second baseman is just in the way.

This hasn't been posted yet. Did the Braves hire the people who used to do the ESPN commercials back in the day?
