If you want some baseball that counts while waiting for WBC/regular season, college ball gets started this weekend. Post here.

This. And I'm a Cubs fan whose all time favorite player might be Maddux.

I loved baseball before Maddux, but watching him week in week out on TBS was what made sure I would love it for life.

His current average of 1.6 WAR/year puts his market value at about $12.5M AAV. It's possible that some teams would take him at 10/$125 but I guarantee he'd never sign for that.

The Frank Wren Braves didn't do much right but (barring injury, oh god) that Freddie Freeman contract is a miracle.

There is spring training ball on the MLB app right now and I am just so pathetically grateful.

Braves fans would have told you that he'd go into deep slumps that would drive you crazy, especially at the beginnings of seasons, but the hot spells and the consistent defensive wizardry made it worth while. That said, he never really fulfilled the promise of his rookie year (mostly because of a steep drop in his walk rate) and the 2014 season made it clear that his inconsistency could stretch out long enough that Freeman was clearly the better bet in the long run.

He quit because Dusty basically let the players declare war on the broadcast team (and because the team made no effort to keep Chip Caray from going to Atlanta).

Chip Caray loving sucks though, imagine quitting in solidarity with someone who sucks that bad

I never really understood the Chip Caray hate. I'm not saying he's good, but I think he's tolerable.

Hmm. Joe Simpson is the really awful one, it's just between the pair they magnify each other's inadequacies and make the TV broadcasts intolerable. (Also it doesn't help that Skip Caray was the gold standard of Braves announcing and will remain so for a while yet.) Fortunately the radio crew is solid and it's generally no problem to mute TV audio and flick on the radio feed.

Braves going strong into the food monstrosity race with the "Tomahawk Chop" sandwich, a fried porkchop behemoth that feeds 4-6, though only after you force a few thousand people off their land first. (Does actually sound kinda good though).
