🤔 I wonder this season if Chip Carey will now refer to Markakis as a "Professional sitter" 🤔 It’s addition by subtraction

Snitker called Markakis the backbone of the team. I get the veteran presents and all but that’s ridiculous. And no surprise coming from him.

It depends on whether or not they factored in us losing Neck's 1 WAR. Being just 60 games, it would factor more like .4 WAR. That .4 WAR would be the backbone of our pennant drive. You don't just lose a baseball player guy like that and not have it hurt.
I see our World Series championship odds going from about 80% down to maybe 3% at best after losing him.

Ya know we will finish in 3rd and everyone will talk about the missing veteran presents of Neck.
So it blows with the Braves

I am glad we are getting some baseball back this yr come what may.
I am about to sack Direct TV for something else, tired of losing the signal every time we have a little thunderstorm.
I reduced my package and hey, I will gladly take baseball on radio - that is how I grew up with the game. From Montreal to Baltimore and as far west as WJR in Detroit I got out of town games and it was radio voices like the greats Ken Coleman (Boston) , Chuck Thompson (Baltimore) , Ernie Harwell (Detroit) and Lindsey Nelson (NY Mets) that got me hooked on the game
I forgot that Expos announcer back in the day, but it was back in the Rusty Staub and Bill Stomeman days. I hope they get another shot at MLB, they did not deserve Jeffery Loria.
Ya know, this 60 game season just might be a little fun, better than the BS that is out there day in and day out and I fully intend to keep to baseball. I am worn out on the other stuff and wish the younger generation well even if they are turning to soccer.
I have no clue how we can get the 20 somethings and younger to be baseball fans, that discourages me youth is not digging baseball

Sorry, gobbledy gook to me, miss good old Street and Smith and Who's Who in baseball. The latter went out of publication after 2016, that was my coffee table guide from time to time. How serious is PECOTA anyway, they are not always right. Play ball, its on the field that counts.

I don't think you have to worry about Markakis being in a Braves uniform anymore, cannot see any place for him after this yr Hope Waters and Pache can do the job. Got to give them their chance. Be interesting where King Felix lands, would not mind giving him another minor league deal again. He did look good in Spring

I was serious when I said to keep the political talk in the one tread I begrudgingly have allowed to be on the Braves baseball board.
About 12 posts were moved there.
Thanks

Yes... I participated in it after I decided to let it remain here.
You are very observant.

Every single sports forum in the world has been flooded with virus/political talk. Nobody was ever forced to read any of it.
