@joesports16 @CoreyBurnett @JomboyMedia I don't know how consistently it's called - I watch a lot of games and don't see a lot of pitch clock violations either way. According to ESPN there were 91 violations by batters last year - don't know how many where the pitcher wasn't ready: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

@carmatter @CoreyBurnett @JomboyMedia my question is how consistently is it called

Umpire calls clock violation on Pete Alonso, who didn’t think the pitcher was ready either

@joesports16 @CoreyBurnett @JomboyMedia Because the batters know they have to be in the box ready at 8 seconds. Braves fans learned this the hard way with a walk-off strike out in spring training a few years ago. cbssports.com/mlb/news/brave…

@CoreyBurnett @JomboyMedia so why is it rarely ever called?

@dren_braves @srperezpolanco I'm streaming on the MLB app on my Apple TV. Seems like lots of highlights from other games and stat cast screens like they didn't sell enough ads.

@carmatter @srperezpolanco I think it's different because I'm watching on MLB dot tv, which is sort of hosted by ESPN now?

i'm noticing a lot of disney/espn/abc ads on BravesVision...wonder if there's a special relationship there

@dren_braves @srperezpolanco Not getting a lot of Disney ads here in Memphis

@srperezpolanco oh yeah forgot about that. it's so excessive man, literally everything is a disney ad

@WeenDeagle @Braves Monkeyed Movies!!!!

@Braves Hear me out. Walk with me. We create a superstation that the whole country gets. We’ll show the Braves, and other wholesome family entertainment. Maybe even after the game, people could do Dinner and a Movie?

Statement from the Atlanta Braves:

@bamamaga14255 @Greg_Byrne Congress can't manage themselves, it's a disaster when they try to manage anyone else.

There are currently 6 other NCAA basketball teams that have G-League players on their rosters - so until NCAA creates better guardrails/rules, what is wrong with Bama playing in the "wild west" like other teams do? Congress should do some work and fix College Sports - The Wild West is crazy - but don't blame Bama - maybe this will lead to a better rules/solutions/guardrails being implemented - I hope so

While Coach Oats provided his perspective earlier today on Charles Bediako and the process of him becoming eligible to compete for the Crimson Tide, I wanted to follow up with some additional thoughts. I think it’s safe to say the majority of us have concerns about the state of college athletics and are all for uniformity versus inconsistencies.   There are many programs across the country with former G League and EuroLeague players on their rosters who have been deemed eligible. At the end of the day, these are men with professional basketball experience that are now playing in college. The distinctions between those cases and Charles’ situation are without real differences. A professional contract should be a professional contract. Why should a student-athlete who earned millions competing professionally overseas be eligible to return to college, while someone earning $50,000 annually in the NBA G League is not? Similarly, an athlete who leaves high school for professional basketball returning to college later is okay, while a student who entered the draft during college, perhaps based on incomplete or poor advice, may be barred. These distinctions are impossible to explain, undermine confidence in the system and do not meaningfully advance the educational mission of college athletics.   That said, we must remain competitive and act in the best interest of our teams. As Coach Oats stated, Charles is still within his five-year window, is 23 years old and started classes again this semester to work towards degree completion. He’s also not taking away any opportunities from a high school prospect or anyone else with there being a vacant roster spot.   If this particular case can help shape the future of the sport, and better regulation of college athletics as a whole, we welcome that.

@VinnysCorner1 Bob Horner!

Who was your favorite MLB teams third baseman when you were 16?? I’ll start.. Scott Brosius

At the #MemphisHomeShow with my buddy Nick Sammons from #TruVineRenovations - great guy, great company!

Hey, Memphis #golfers! The @whyhopeworks Memphis golf tournament is Friday, October 3 at Fair Oaks in Oakland, TN. This is a great tournament that raises money for great work here in #Memphis. #Memphis #golf #Choose901 #golftournament whyhopeworks.org/golf/

@aaronmurray11 I'm old school enough that I don't really see Tennessee as a big rival, so it wouldn't bother me to not play them. If the league is trying to even out strength of schedule, they'll probably give us Florida, Auburn, and Vandy.

My preferred annual opponents for UGA 1. Florida 2. Auburn 3. Tennessee Y’all changing anything?

@CrosbyBaseball He turned on the jets when he saw no one covered 2nd.

Glad this didn't end up costing the Braves, but Michael's got to get this ball in quicker, if for no other reason than his own safety. (Spencer's clearly pissed off already and could always decide to just murder someone in the dugout.)

@evan_b I've heard people say this, but I've also heard people say it's not true - not that I'm biased.

It’s wild this is the case. Wouldn’t have known this if not for reading articles. I’ve been using M-dashes since college, a writing quirk I borrowed from reading James Baldwin and other authors.

@MichaelWBratton @thatSECpodcast @AthlonSports Was Kirby Smart the anonymous coach? Or did he have one of his assistants do it?

Anonymous Coach Comments on Georgia in Athlon Sports CFB Magazine “I don’t think this is the same level of talent we’ve seen in the last three or four years. "I think you might see a decline, at least at first, on both lines of scrimmage.” 👀

Hey, #901, @whyhopeworks in Memphis helps new students and clients out with a health and hygiene care package. Can you help us meet the current need? a.co/5XdsjBN

@dave_mc_stats @GeorgiaFootball @UGASports In fairness, Saban was still inventing the process in those early years.

Kirby Smart had more first round #NFLDraft picks in his first 9 drafts as .@GeorgiaFootball head coach than Nick Saban had in his first 9 drafts with Alabama That and a lot more as we take a deeper look at #UGA and the #NFL Draft uga.rivals.com/news/stats-cru… @UGASports

@scottcoleman55 And the lefty's contract is guaranteed.

One of the crazier parts of NFL free agency is you'll see the headline 'PLAYER signs with the Dolphins for a massive 4 year, $60 million contract guaranteed, the highest guarantee for a non-QB so far" and it's the same amount of money a good lefty reliever gets

@mkhammer #GoDawgs

@SicEmDawgscom @NCAA Especially the fake injury because my shoe came off.

Faking injuries to stop the fast offense. Put a stop to this @NCAA

@TEwracademy Love him as Sherlock Holmes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Br…

What do you know about Jeremy Brett?! 😆

@TEwracademy Great pro, but injured his entire UGA career.

I love TD but he's not a top-10 UGA RB. Yes, he's an NFL HOF no doubt.
