My inbox was full for messages sorry all, I'm good now

[Big_Spaz]

My dues are paid and so are Little Spaz's. We both paid on Friday.


Sorry I haven't responded to any PM's. Everyone is looking to trade for draft picks. For right now I'm fine with my keepers and would like to build in the draft. Sorry about that guys, even though I know my keepers aren't as strong as other teams.

Man I just have to come back and mini-rant real quick somewhere about how retarded the Braves are.

This organization sat here and let Swanson walk, and passed on any semi-competent SS to replace him, all because they assured everyone that Grissom was the guy and fully capable of taking over.

Fast forward to Spring, both Grissom and Shewmake post relatively strong Springs in what they effectively labeled as a position battle only to drop both of them to the minors. Word I'm hearing is, the Braves get an extra year of control of Grissom specifically if they keep him down until June 10th.

Are you f*cking kidding me?

First off I think Grissom will be a train wreck, but that's beside the point here. This is the guy the Braves convinced the fan base was a suitable reason for letting Swanson walk. The vibe was we had a guy. Now the time comes to play the guy and the Braves are still playing games rather than putting full effort to win for a team that should be 100% in win now mode. We aren't the Pirates looking 5 years ahead. What the f*ck?

Between McGuirk making grand statements about wanting to be Top 5 payroll right after we got eliminated last year (we're 8th by the way; so not Top 5... shocking I know!) to sending your replacement SS down for 2 months just to get an extra year of control it's getting real tiring putting up with all of the excuses and bullsh*t this front office feeds to the fan base. I honestly don't think there's a worse organization in terms of lying and pretending to care, but not actually giving a sh*t.

They do everything they can to manipulate the fans into thinking they're giving full effort. Just look at the Murphy trade as an example of that. This is what the Braves media will headline as the big addition of the offseason. But it wasn't a real addition. It was sleight of hand addition by subtraction because all they did was flipped a better offensive catcher for a better defensive catcher. Pure manipulation so they could pretend they "added" something to the 2023 team. No you didn't. All you did was reshuffled the roster a bit with a new name. That's all they ever do though, look for some media angle to sell the fans that are too stupid to recognize the difference and excite them to come spend money.

They did the same thing with Olson last year. Try to distract everyone with Freeman leaving by getting Olson in a trade BEFORE Freeman signed with someone else. All while shipping off tons of valuable prospects and selling it as getting a younger model at 1B. Anyone with a brain knew they downgraded significantly, and quite frankly more expensively, albeit in a different currency (because they're cheap with actual money).


Tired of this bullsh*t and it's not even April.

Let's fukking go boys, draft is almost here!

I've been slammed with work and having a new 12 week old baby so my next 36 hours is going to be spent cramming to get ready for tomorrow night. Love how active Zere0wn is being so far, definitely an upgrade over the RxLg clown. Can't wait to be back in the grind of setting the lineup everyday and watching baseball every free minute of the summer.

Yo what time is the draft in Pacific Time? Yahoo is defaulting to MST and the time to start math doesn’t make sense compared to the actual time in MST rn. Az switches between PT and MST because we like to complicate things so idk if yahoo is stupid or I can’t math.

Dis true, I'm not even going to pretend I'm a good drafter. It's all about on season management.

[Jyeatbvg]

What's up with the rookie draft this year? For those of us who still have slots open.

[Jyeatbvg]

Looking for OF and SS - get at me.

[Zere0wn]
