The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness

[mr.checkerboards]

7 is a dumb number. I’m sure a lot of people were waiting on it.

Guess who just caught 7

I kinda don’t think David Sanders is gonna play this year

Nerve damage is a funny thing.

Even if he comes back, I doubt he's more than depth until he gets some reps under him.

James Wood even odds over 17.5 taters feels smashable, folks

Drake at 210.. I would be willing to take a bath on it if I didn’t have a great Jackson Merrill ticket last year.

Drake’s been better for sure

Keith Law has a vote. He hasn't shared it, but he said it's obvious. He definitely falls more on the analytical side of things. He also voted for Cowser last year over Gil in a pretty similar ROY race.

This Jake Fraley, Eli White, Vidal Brujan bench about to go hard!

The value in owning a professional sports team (at least in the US) is simply from owning the team, not from having that team do well.

The Cowboys have to be worth, what, north of $15b now?

If you ever get rich, go in with a group and buy a large share of a professional sports team. You'll make 6 - 7 times your investment when it sells in 15-20 years

Former Tennessee DB Jordan Matthews says he's on 'winning side' of rivalry after transfer to Vanderbilt

Former Tennessee and now Vanderbilt defensive back Jordan Matthews said that he is on the winning side of the rivalry now.

If I can do math:

From February 25, 1989 (the day Jerry bought the Cowboys) to today, the S&P has gone from 287 to 6637, or 23x (not including dividends and/or reinvesting those dividends).

The Cowboys are estimated to currently be worth $12.5B, which given today's news might be conservative. Jerry bought the team for $140m. In 36 years, he's made 89x. Not too shabby.

Podcast will be up tomorrow morning at 8AM. I will post the podbean link and the youtube link as well.

Love the podcast fellas. Always look forward to my morning commute on Thursdays

If Snit were not our manager, we'd likely be leading the 3rd WC spot right now, if not better. How many games did he cost us running Sale out there for the 9th inning in a blow out? How many games did he cost us letting Ozuna run out there every night with a bum hip for 2 months? How many games did he cost us with poor lineup/BP management? How many games did he cost us by not resting players properly?

We could legitimately be 4-5 games over .500 even with all the injuries if we had a competent manager.

Who you gonna rest with Profar, Riley, Acuña, Murphy playing less than 100 games, no MLB SS for 5 months and your corner OFs, CF and 2B AWOL for the entire 1st half?

Snit showed the energy of a slug and leaves pitchers on the mound to die way too much, but in my mind this was a lot of bad things coming together which exposed some Salvation Army roster decisions.
