Lulz f*cking dumb cop tried to arrest Braves pitcher Tyler Matzik during the parade today. Damn near broke his wrist on his pitching arm

Why?

Why?

Dumbass thought Matzek was a fan that jumped the barrier because Matzek jumped off the Bus and was running in front of it.

Looks like lots of possible changes coming to baseball. Not really a fan of any of them.

I could post dozens of stuff about the Braves. Whether it's weird coincidences like this or all the records that they tied or broke this year. This is an epic thread if you go start to finish. I love it.

Not to be a Debby downer but Joc isn’t going to do a whole lot. He’s hitting .230 and strikes out almost 4 times per walk and has more K’s than hits.

Braves need some pitching though as that is their weak spot. Offense is going to take a hit without Acuna though. But who knows how much till they get a few games in without him. 44-45 iirc and the NL East is just one of those divisions that seems to go to the last couple weeks of every year.

Giants are the surprise team of the NL. Really thought the Padres would be ahead at the break and the Dodgers are right there as always.

Cubs started the rebuild this past off-season somewhat but wanted to see if they could contend one more time. Brewers are just too strong in that division.

My White Sox need another RP bad as Marshall and a couple others are horrible. We have to pick something up or it will hurt us in the end and in the post season. With Eloy coming back sooner rather then later that will help out batting wise. Now if we can just get Roberts going at the end of August and early September our batting should be back to somewhat normal. It is amazing with all the injuries we have had we are ahead by 8 or so games in the AL Central. Still would like to see a bat off some sort come in like the Diamondbacks Escobar to take over at 2b which is a weak link with Mendick there with Madrigal out for the year.

Idk if I would give up much for Kimbrel. This season has been a rebound year but the year or so before that he was iffy. Solid CP though when he is right.

lol yeah sure look at the stats. You don't go 44-45 without some crap pitching, 16th in ERA at 4.24, 14th in home runs allowed and what 17th in WHIP and batting average against? Yeah you are right their pitching is great,lol. They need some pitching only Morton is above .500 and Smly has what a 4.40 something ERA as a starter? Lmfao just looked up the stats even their closer is 3-5 with a 3.75 ERA that isn't all that great as a CP. You expect your CP to get it done. They need another Starter of some sort and RP. They will not get it done with that kind of middle of the road pitching. You only come here to talk MLB when the Braves win or like when they picked up Joc a .190 hitter last year and a .230 hitter this year.

And Kimbrel was not good in 2019 and 2020. Stats prove it 6.58 ERA in 2019 and 5.28 last year. This year he has been good the last two el sucko.

Trying hard by posting actual stats? You’re saying the braves will win the division with the addition of him which is reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaching. His WAR is -.2 this year. Although I’m not arguing he will likely do better in ATL, it will be marginally better at best. Like Cool said, Braves need pitching and have for a few years now.

Besides the Dodgers and Giants, the NL is weak. Brewers have a good record but will choke in the first round like always. Braves would be 5th in the AL East, 4th in the AL West, and 2nd in the AL Central and 9th overall in the AL. Again I repeat, ouch

I said the Braves were going to win the division months ago. That means the Braves are gonna win the division. It's like money in the bank.
