Why couldn’t Friday morning just be a normal morning? Why couldn’t we all just get up, go to work and go about our days like nothing was out of place? Of all things to wake up to, why did we have to wake up to this? In a tragic yet powerful turn of events this
Okay. That’s a bit better. Things are in motion, albeit in a slower motion than most would like. The MLB arbitration deadline has now passed, so all 30 teams have made small deals within their clubs. We’ve already seen Max Fried and A.J. Minter agree to new deals while Mike Soroka and Dansby Swanson look
Things just got interesting; very interesting. After a winter of essentially next to nothing, the baseball world turned upside down in not even one day. Newly-minted Mets GM Steve Cohen wanted to make a splash in his first year with the team, as he has said since joining Twitter. Yesterday, he did just that. Maybe
Alright. Let’s take a deep breath. Monday was a big day. The baseball world exploded as San Diego traded for their second ace in two days. Not even 24 hours after acquiring Blake Snell, the Padres made a splash in Chicago, moving Zach Davies and four prospects for Cy Young contender Yu Darvish. Say what
I’ve been listening to a lot of classic rock lately. It gives me a nice nostalgic rush. It’s well invited, too, with everything the world is throwing at us right now. It’s important to hold the familiarity close during times of trouble. I heard the legendary Bob Dylan cross my local radio station the other
Let me warn you all: I’m gonna be making a lot of “hand” puns. So get ready for those. As of right now, the Braves starting pitching is all but set in stone, following the signing of Charlie Morton and Drew Smyly. Now, their focus (as far as the pitching staff is concerned) turns to
I’ve noticed a trend lately. Over the last few seasons, the Braves’ pitching staff has flip-flopped on each end, leaving one part thriving and the other struggling. In 2019, Atlanta’s desperate need was fixing the bullpen. At the end of the season, their combined ERA was 4.19, even after acquiring Chris Martin, Shane Greene and Mark Melancon before the
It’s quiet out there today. I went out this morning to send some stuff in the mail from my eBay store. Living in a town of 23,000 means you kind of already know everyone’s routine, even if you don’t know them personally. Basically, I live in a modernized Mayberry up here in central Arkansas. Having
Dear experts at FS1: thank you for counting the Braves out. You should do it more often. The Braves did what they keep doing every time they seem to have a big game: shatter expectations and prove everybody wrong. They did just that tonight, taking down the Dodgers in Game 2, riding the momentum from
As a brave soldier once said, “just let me get one more.” If you don’t know the quote, go watch Hacksaw Ridge. It’s an incredible movie. Anyways, the Braves went into Game 2 today with chips on their shoulders and everything to prove. Coming off a 9-5 finish yesterday, it looked like they still had
