This is a ridiculously dumb idea. First how does the ball chip know how tall or short the batter is? Second, the ball chip needs to know where the plate is. So is there a camera embedded in or on the ball. Or some sort of radar detection system? Finally, those chips better be cheap, and sturdy...

Last year the Phillies rolled through the NLDS and NLCS and then got roiled in the WS. Might it happen that way again — who knows? But securing the “advantage” of home field during the regular season no longer seems a reward. One might ask: does the frenetic race to outright win one’s division...

I was there and it was an absolutely glorious victory! The last play of the game was a defensive marvel that I may never see topped. IMO it’s up there with the Sid Bream slide to home plate game, which I also saw live.

Past is not prologue. However the Braves won the division by 14 games, with Philly second. Also Atlanta won the season series 8-5

A particularly spectacular Braves season. In multiple ways, both at the team and the individual level. Acuna is one. Meanwhile Freddy Freeman's "replacement" Matt Olson, set a new Braves record of homeruns in a single season, at 52 and counting. "Acuña has a Braves record 33 leadoff homers...

Good scene but I’ve never liked the windshield on the Jeep. It doesn’t sit back toward the driver, rather it leans forward or is too upright. A shame because I like jeeps. But First Legion’s is obviously flawed, in my opinion.

Ignore history? Pshaw. But it’s not always relevant. The Braves are a much different team. A much better team, stats would indicate. Of course nothing is guaranteed, regardless of stats. That’s why they actually play the games. Otherwise we could just run simulations. In fact the Braves will...

Nah. Based on the 2023 regular season record, Braves vs Dodgers would seem the NLCS match up most likely to happen. Though the future is unknowable, the two teams with the best records in the NL SHOULD be the last two standing. What did or did not happen last year is irrelevant.

Say what one will about their chances in the postseason, by almost any measure it’s been a remarkable season. And a pretty fantastic run after cellar dwelling up until the 90s. Atlanta (96-50) clinched in 146 games, their second-quickest clinch in the divisional era. The division title was the...

My bad. I didn’t realize you made the rules. Of the two universities from which I graduated, neither were Division I. In fact one, Emory, does not even have a football team. The other, Sewanee, is Division 3. It once played in the SEC, but that was many years ago. I did take some classes at GA...

You got proof!? Let’s see it. Otherwise it’s just bluster and bitterness.

When did you play for the Patriots? Just wondering, have you ever stepped foot in the state of Alabama?

Yeah, well familiar with the Lewis situation. It’s all about NIL. State of Ga doesn’t currently allow high schoolers to enter into deals. California does. Thus why he’s committing two years in advance to USC. Show him the money NOW! Lol Chances are he uncommits to USC as he gets closer to being...

I’ve not heard anything that says the GA program or Coach Smart is a “real disgrace”. Sounds like sour grapes to me. Sure, some kids got over excited about winning their second straight national championship and made bad decisions. Shocker! Meanwhile Ga has a schedule that sets up pretty...

Well, I was a Braves fan for roughly 30 years (70-90) when they were generally terrible. The last 30 years have been better. But they still have only 2 titles in franchise history. One during the strike shortened season 1995/6 I think, and then a couple of years ago. Lots of division titles but...

This is a little gloat-y but Braves fans have endured decades of frustration. “Revenge is a dish best served cold”

Better late than never! Heck, now more (former) Yankees move here than vice-versa. We play the long game…🙃

Braves win 6 out of their last 7 games - against both NY teams. Swept the Yanks. So Atlanta is on fire again. But in a good way, this time!

Is Fran’s office still @Tower Place or whatever the business complex at the intersection of Peachtree and Piedmont is called these days? He’s got no shortage of stories from back in the day. But he’s always been a heck of a personality, even football aside.;)

The only thing that’s certain is that nothing is certain. Braves were hot as fire going into the all star break. Since then, meh. That’s fine. No team can stay red hot all season. Winning the division conveys advantages but not certainties.
