@WereChihuahua @BrandonGaudin @_PorterJohnson Both crews are great

@BrandonGaudin @_PorterJohnson For several years I have listened on Radio 680 to Ben, Joe and J-Chad. Now this season I can actually watch the games. You and C.J. do a great job.

Whoever hired @BrandonGaudin to do play-by-play for the Braves needs a raise. 2nd Year on the job and all I’ve got to say is that he makes the games more fun than they already are!

@grantmcauley @wileyballard_ CJ could barely watch it lol

,@wileyballard_ is eating those Kit-Kats like an absolute terrorist. You have to separate each bar.

@nastynate @b_outliers Dubon’s defensive metrics were slightly better than Nick Allen’s last season on baseball savant. He just had a bad game defensively.

@b_outliers His fielding is definitely a step back from Nick Allen. But his offense is light years better. Overall a trade off I think we’ll be happy with.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Mauricio Dubon experience so far

@sophiagracedent It’s amazing. The radio crew is too. Wiley is eating those Kit Kats like a psychopath though 🤣

I love this broadcast team so much

@allthedogspleaz @BravesNinja3 He could play LF when they're facing a lefty

@BravesNinja3 There’s no way you can bench him when Kim is back with the way he’s playing right now.

Love watching Dubón pick it at SS

@DrewButler @Braves @steakshapiro I wonder if that’s THE bat

Cool picture here as @Braves Dominic Smith takes a photo w/ Andrew Eith, who caught the Grand Slam HR baseball, post game on Saturday. Eith returned the ball to Smith - who dedicated the game to his late Mother. Smith signed a bat & Acuna signed a ball for Eith @steakshapiro

@egr_investor My general rule is when someone leads with “traditional investing is broken” you’re about to hear a terrible sales pitch.

Honestly, if UBS is going to argue traditional investing is broken and everything now hinges on disruptive innovation, they may as well just hire Cathie Wood and rebrand as ARK. #Investing #Finance #StockMarket

@jasonpereira I don’t think I’ve ever seen a presentation start with a vague statement like “the 60/40 is dead” and then offer anything of value

I always find it amusing that those who declare the death of the 60/40, which is keeps being declared dead ever year for at least two decades now yet it still seem to persist, always fail to identify exactly what they think the 60/40 is supposed to be doing, let alone presuming that everyone else is on the same page with said definition.

@MattNitkowski @CJNitkowski @BravesVisionTV This stuff is awesome. I love the details and creativity!

@EricBalchunas @syouth1 TDFs are way better than whatever allocation most people would come up with on their own.

@syouth1 100%. Like what’s the alternative (besides knowing the future ahead of time which is imposs)? This is such a weird thing to slander. It’s like writing a hit piece on vegetables. Even bogle liked target date funds, and he hated almost every fund innovation.

Strange article in the NYT questioning target-date funds. Doesn’t cite any data measuring actual *outcomes* in these products (which are good, not perfect, by design). Instead goes with what-ifs/quotes from advisors whose business is to sell against TDFs. spr.ly/6013B6cJxv

@BrandonGaudin Wish we would’ve had your call on that one

Opened a bottle of Dom on em 🍾 🪓

@ShortStopBall Wow

NOOOO!! That was a mistake, hanging slider and Ozzie was just a bit out front on it. My eyes lit up when I saw it just spinning there.

@CrosbyBaseball That makes sense

@RyanMGavin Guessing the plan was one more batter, either way - getting past Salvy for Jensen, India, Cags means two left-on-left matchups

Well okay then. Salvy's just built different. (Offense needs to score - ReyLo doesn't deserve to take a loss here)

@CrosbyBaseball Not a great use of challenges IMO, especially Acuña’s. Those weren’t high enough leverage spots to use the challenges

Braves are out of challenges and there have been 14 pitches thrown. Drake Baldwin missed one in the top of the first and Ronald Acuña Jr. missed one in the bottom of the first (on an 1-0 pitch, too) Quick

@ShortStopBall It was also one game. Lots of hindsight bias.

A lot of people taking victory laps in the comments of this post and criticizing my take (and it wasn’t great), but the guy I suggested swapping spots with Ozzie reached base all 4 times. And it’s not like I said bury Ozzie in the lineup against a lefty.

@JonLuskin @TrendingValue What’s weird about fidelity is the retail platform and customer service seem much better than the advisor versions

@TrendingValue x.com/JonLuskin/stat…

Which investment custodian is best? -Vanguard -Schwab -Fidelity Expect disappointment wherever you go. They all have their own unique issues. Moreover, they all suffer from the same challenges. And, that’s mostly telling you to fill out the wrong form. <True Story>

@CrosbyBaseball Clean and simple

Hey Netflix: THIS is a good scorebug. Well sized and spaced with the relevant information in a familiar format Take notes

@b_outliers I know Yaz doesn’t hit lefties well, but are we sure that Eli White is a better option?

@b_outliers I’d switch Ozzie and Riley

I don’t hate Ozzie batting 3rd as much a others. Eli White batting 6th on opening day is certainly sobering.
