This is why Anthony Edwards is one of my favorite NBA players. Dude is straight up punking LeBiatch and taking over this series. This is a prime example of why people say Jordan was better and he would’ve been dominated against during that era. Nobody fears him.

Ozuna is once again having an excellent under the radar season. Slashing .316/.486/.544 a season after slashing .302/.378/.546. I was ready to get rid of him after 2021 but he has been the Braves best player two years running now. Never thought I would say that.

Can you believe my boy, Riley, is still swinging at those low outside just off the plate pitches? And still striking out on those pitches. You'd think by now not to be doing that chit. I came across them last night & he was at bat & low & behold there it is strike 3 swinging.
I yelled at him through the TV & cussed him up & down as he walked back to the dugout. Made me so mad. I haven't watched them all year & that's one reason why.

Anyone know the history here?
Even Blake’s father chimed in.

Wes Cucker is an idiot and insulting our player. Trying to sound “cool.”

The events: #3,217. When they charged at him, it was when they rushed on to the field after their Friday win. They apparently charged at him leaving our dugout late without or without many teammates. Saturday night, Wes Cucker was responding to “Jackass” Jones (he calls himself “Bear”) mouthing at AA as Antigua ran to first base, and continued while AA was on the bag. “Jackass” plays first base and is a huge guy. Wes was being snide and condescending about AA being much smaller. (Wes apparently considers that “witty.”) This because our man Antigua got up on his toes and got into the face of the jackass. Didn’t back down. Later, LSU pitchers hit AA twice at bat: high and inside both times.

The post by Blake Burke is golden.

Long story short. Wes Rucker made a quip about AA not messing with Jones when they were chirping at 1B. Said they “weren’t the same species” alluding to the 6’5” 250lbs Jones vs 5’8” 180lbs AA. Mr Burke (Blake’s Dad) took offense to it and let Rucker have it. Wes went on and called fans toddlers and babies. Weigels was involved with their typical hilarious tweets and supported AA.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting Mr Burke (Blake’s Dad) on several occasions, and he’s a true VFL. He still pulls for the Vols and follows them closely. He treats many of the players as if they were his own. When S Miss fans were throwing stuff at Mr Vitello in Hattiesburg, Scott Burke was having none of it. Let’s just say, I would never want to cross Mr Burke. 😀👊👊👍👍🍊😀😀🍊🍊 He and his wife are good people.

Well one of the Tennessee media guys are spreading the rumor or truth.🤷

Chris Low mentioned it was a possibility that Merklinger was asking for more money. If Low says it then it has legs,

Well if Low mentions it as “a possibility” then it’s true that it’s a possibility. It’s “a possibility” that any possible thing in the world happen. By definition. Nothing impossible will happen. Maybe Low was playing it with the softest of soft touches.

Be interesting for Wes to ask the question of Ariel, that would be showing proper respect at least.
