@BravesStats It's a lot more fun being an overachiving underdog than an underachieving overdog

@MLB @SignedSweetSpot Aight

This glow-in-the-dark lightsaber bat is insane 🤯 If you want the chance to win this green lightsaber bat repost and reply and you may be chosen. Do or do not. There is no try 🌟

@dren_braves @CJNitkowski @KnockahomaNTN Retweeting all the folks back in November whining about Weiss as the new manager

@CJNitkowski @KnockahomaNTN what'd I miss

Happy receipts day! Clearly @KnockahomaNTN is celebrating.

Top 3 in @Braves order tonight in Seattle: 1. Drake Baldwin: Tied for MLB lead in Hits 2. Ozzie Albies: Tied for MLB lead in Hits 3. Matt Olson: Leads MLB in RBI, Extra-Base Hits 4. Is that good?

@LucasBolden1 @WillieMaysHays_ It still exists! youtu.be/oH2p7kS5bbg?si…

@WillieMaysHays_ So I’ve been told 🤣 it’s hilarious

Name that brave 👀 now this one is a deep dive

This is incredible, can't believe I've never seen it mentioned on here before. Worth a watch! youtu.be/oH2p7kS5bbg?si…

@MurphsNeonBat @BrandonGaudin May 22nd, or 49 games to break the 200 run mark last season.

@BrandonGaudin , 200 huh? I wonder how long it took us to score 200 runs last year?

@stevederico @JayCuda Steroids, especially in the preceding years

@JayCuda 2,000+ hit players doubled after year 2000. coincidence?

number of active players with 2,000+ hits

@BravesColdTakes It's nice too knowing that even if the team gets down early, they'll still at least make it interesting.

It’s fun to actually look forward to braves games again

We had a young fan who threw a few of these stickers up to the booth that he made himself. No idea if he’ll ever see this but just in case, this is one is now on my iPad that I use to score games. Thank you.

@sober_sights @BenSwann_ Red Bull? You sure they weren't chugging cough syrup?

What drinks can trigger the same effect? I have friends who got DUIs and drinking too much of Red Bull just before you blow triggered the blow and go. This whole thing is not about drunk driving. It is about surveillance and anyone who allows this to proceed is contributing to more invasion of privacy and govt control. It’s outrageous to even allow this.

THE “KILL SWITCH” IN NEW CARS COULD BE REAL! In 2021, Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Buried in it is Section 24220, which requires new vehicles to include technology that can detect driver impairment and disable the car. The stated goal is to prevent drunk driving, with systems that monitor blood alcohol levels and stop a vehicle from starting if you’re over the limit. It sounds reasonable at first. But it raises serious concerns about how both government and manufacturers could misuse this kind of control in a dystopian fashion. Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna have pushed to defund enforcement of this mandate, but have faced bipartisan resistance. This is how your civil liberties are chipped away. In the name of safety, the government gains the ability to control how you use a car you paid for and already pay taxes on.

@obxleatherman Don Sutton is rolling in his grave at this being a real possibility.

There are only two active pitchers under 30 with multiple shutouts in their career: Hunter Greene and Logan Webb both have two. We might not see another pitcher with seven career SHUTOUTS, let alone no-hitters.

@BiscuitSalad You really can't beat a nice ribeye cooked over charcoal. If I ever have to choose a final meal, it's going to include this.

@Sabretooth117 @CJNitkowski @ChopAbusador Bbref has them at 1.0 WAR vs 2.0 WAR, so heavily favoring McGonigle

@CJNitkowski @ChopAbusador Prob depends on defensive metrics then no? I’d assume mcgonigle has better defensive stats

Who's you April AL ROY? .939 OPS Guy or .935 OPS Guy

@BravesStats @Jomboy_ I'd like to see some type of hysteresis or margin for error in both directions. The challenges should be for obvious misses by the ump, not borderline pitches right on the edge.

@Jomboy_ Just draw another box around the current one that's exactly one diameter of the ball wider on each side, and the ball must be entirely within that. Boom. Done with this nonsense.

Genuine question: Whatever you change the margin to… you’re always going to have calls that are 0.5% within that new area right? You can’t run away from this, right?

@CraigJetMetFan @CespedesBBQ @baseball_ref @Stathead That's crazy, 11 year career and almost half his triples came in that short span.

@MattMan2003 @CespedesBBQ @baseball_ref @Stathead For the heck of it, just checked his game logs. All 8 triples came between July 1 and September 4. 8 triples in 2 months. None the rest of the season.

will Munetaka Murakami finish the season with zero doubles? probably not but his HR-to-2B ratio could certainly end up in relatively historic territory via @Stathead, here's a fun list... players in MLB history with at least 5x as many HR as doubles in a season (min. 10 HR)

@dren_braves Teams is still a memory hog, I haven't had any real issues with it lately though. If you've got less than 16GB of RAM then it'll probably be painful.

so apparently my work is switching from slack/zoom to microsoft teams sometime soon. is teams still as dogshit as it was 6ish years ago (last time i used it)?

Good move by the Braves this morning, it was confusing having both a good Suarez and a bad Suarez in the bullpen.
