Atlanta: Free agents: Tyler Flowers, Shane Greene, Cole Hamels, Adeiny Hechavarrķa, Nick Markakis, Mark Melancon, Marcell Ozuna, Pablo Sandoval, Josh Tomlin - Give Ozuna all the money. - Maybe re-sign Greene, maybe Melancon. - The rest of the above are either horrible or toast. - Sign another starting pitcher or three, preferably people who aren't rear end and aren't old. - If you can end the Austin Riley experiment, please do. He's not horrible, but slightly below league average seems to be his future. - Dump Luke Jackson and clean every surface his greasy hair has touched.

With nothing else on TV, I've been converting old VHS tapes to DVD. One is an edited version of the 1992 NLCS, Game 7. The commentary noted some stuff in the 9th: - Doug Drabek was lifted after 125 pitches and a 4-pitch walk to Sid Bream. - Jim Leyland had Bob Patterson and Stan Belinda warming up. He opted to bring in Belinda, despite them noting that Belinda wasn't a ground ball pitcher (the bases were loaded with no outs). The Sports Illustrated that came out the next week had some really wonderful articles. The Cruelest Game, the one from Pittsburgh's perspective, captured the essence of then and really everything since. Right now, I have a 1991 Braves season documentary copying, one of two the team did. John Goodman narrated this one, fresh off filming The Babe. drat, was Darryl Strawberry hated.

To think that A.J. Hinch wasn't the most controversial candidate to manage a baseball in the fall of 2020. The White Sox have a pretty cool team. It's a shame that TLR is going to promptly kill it.

Jeff Blauser had a recipe for warmed up pizza in the first. If I remember correctly, the complete instructions were: No preparation necessary Heating optional

Charley Pride died. Much more famous as a musician, he actually played a bit of Minor League ball. His nephew, Curtis Pride, bounced around for a few teams in MLB.

I remember in 1992 that Atlanta was having an impossible time hitting Tim Wakefield. Atlanta brought in Niekro, to see if that could help. They couldn't hit Niekro either.

elentar posted:College baseball is technically supposed to start today but a ton of series have already been called off for COVID protocols and my own university is in the middle of a case spike so it could be a bit yet. JUCO started in January, but quite unevenly. DeSantis being so utterly unbothered means that Florida jucos have been going full blast since early January. Other schools have been staggered because they have at least minimum of protocols. Rain soaking the southeast has knocked out more games than COVID so far. With players getting a bonus year and uncertainties over scholarships and playing time, many jucos will be a bit deeper this year. I've heard of at least a few players deciding to ride it out and see if something better pops up in a year or two at the senior college level.

Shrecknet posted:Would like to congratulate the Braves at the end of this season for completing their contract with Bruce Sutter, who signed a Bonilla-style contract in 1985 that ran for 36 years, $44m Reading a 1985 article about the contract and the novelty of it, there was also a list of baseball's richest players. Length Annual Player, position Team Contract Salary Dave Winfield, outfield N.Y. Yankees 10 Years $2 million Gary Carter, catcher N.Y.
