Can we just reach out to these guys and go ahead and make the Molina family, honorary Vols?
You have your assignment @cardvolfan , now get to work!

I’ll see what I can do!

Highly likely that Verlander and Scherzer both miss stretches of the season with their age also. The Braves are in great shape to contend for several years.

The tweet was about the pay difference in the two pitchers vs almost the Braves line-up.

I know. I was just pointing out that those old guys won’t even pitch in all their scheduled appearances so it makes it even more outrageous how much they are making.

Can we please stop discussing those two pitchers.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

I am personally sick and tired of watching AA sit around the Braves front office and not making a splash move. All of these other teams are blowing the doors off of us and its sickening.

On December 9 in Baseball History...​

• 1902 - The AL announces purchase of grounds for a stadium in New York, and the next day the NL declares its readiness to make peace in the war between the leagues.
  
  
• 1925 - The AL extends league president Ban Johnson's contract to 1935 and gives him a raise to $40,000.
  
  
• 1931 - Baseball owners, fearful of the effects of the Depression, vote to cut squads from 25 players to 23.
  
  
• 1936 - The AL approves night baseball for St. Louis. The NL adopts a new design for home plate. It will have beveled edges, the first change in 50 years. The AL adopts a rule stating that no batter can be batting champion unless he has 400 or more at bats.
  
  
• 1965 - Frank Robinson is traded from Cincinnati to the Orioles for pitchers Milt Pappas and Jack Baldschun and outfielder Dick Simpson. The Reds Bill DeWitt defends the trade by labeling Robinson "an old 30.

I feel like they were on the same team once before. The team slips my mind but I remember hearing they haven’t won a World Series since 1984. Who could it be???

Traffic through the little stretch in Bearden, is a freaking nightmare and it gives me road rage!!

Pro Tip: Don't take a knife to a gun fight.

According to Spotrac, the Rays have a current payroll of $31M for 2023…
