• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Is Alex Anthopoulos the best GM in sports?? I am not sure that the Braves will lose another game this season....

I see no holes in your thesis. The Braves are on a hell of a streak right now. Unfortunately our next several series are against much better opponents. We’ve been beating up on some bad teams.
 
It is quite a team with a limited payroll and losing Acuna and Soroka.
Damn it brother…..you are literally the guy that says fuck the jinx. WTF man…..not cool! Bad MOJO! (Ypu never say this out loud bro)

BUT you are CORRECT AA is the man! What he does yearly with this payroll is def. HOF caliber. Now I will say the 1 move that peaked my attention and could really burn him is the Big Bear contract (which surprised me bc if 4 years) but can’t say it was a bad contract at the time….16.5 million per after last year 🤷‍♂️ But dangerous with our payroll situation.
 
I gave up on the season when Acuna went down. I was just watching for player development.

AA had different plans.
I said the same thing BUT knew the schedule and said since AA held back almost 11 mill before the season…let’s see what we do at trade deadline.
Well I chuckled (sensibly🤣) that we just set a record as the 1st team EVER to trade for 4 OF at 1 trade deadline….were FUCKED.
That being said we are playing real baseball again. Small ball and NOT just trying to destroy balls. The baseball they are playing today is what we have done to be so exciting lately (past few years)…I couldn’t NOT cheer for this. We won’t win shit BUT these guys are out playing right and having fun so I’m enjoying!!!
