The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[zjcvols]

So wait…we got Harris who has been better than Rodriguez and younger (not by much I admit) and he’s gonna get more than half? Man that’s insane

AA laughing right now, but in all seriousness I love seeing young guys getting long term deals with their original franchise (outside the NL East obviously) hopefully the Braves started a trend.

Rodriguez has played 30 more games and has less WAR than Mike

 

[TBrown]

Literally bought his whole career so lot of variables there but yeah…….much rather have the Harris contract in place ha.

Great for him tho

 

[zjcvols]

Great for him tho

Oh great for him. And great for Seattle. And they got him for another 4 years. I’m just trying to figure what those negotiations are like, especially since Julio can get up to $400M?

I played catcher in coach pitch, 2nd in minors, and outfield in majors. Then i tore my ACL when I was 12 and never played again. I couldn't hit for **** though.

My last game ever was a championship game. I was up with 2 outs and bases loaded, down 1, coach told me to fake bunt for some reason. I struck out and cried lol.

Seattle historically has been a very poorly run and unlucky organization...it wouldn't shock me if in like 5 years they're in the cellar and they trade him.

I've played every spot on a diamond through middle school. I could field and throw strikes, couldn't hit **** though. I could lay down a mean bunt thought, problem was I wasn't fast enough to beat them out.
