    Mets @ Braves (6/17-6/19)

    Snitker pulling Sale 1 out away from a CG after a bloop single. Sale just made a diving stab on a ground ball like Maddux for a putout because he WANTS the CG. I can’t stand Snitker

    Mets @ Braves (6/17-6/19)

    Acuna hit the 1st pitch out of the park. He’s already in the Top 15 All-Time in Leadoff Homers. He’s almost half way to Rickey Henderson at #1

    Favorite Alabama Game You Attended In Person

    I’d probably trade every in stadium experience I’ve ever had to have been at that game. I vividly remember watching that game with my Dad. One of the most satisfying wins and upsets in Bama history.

    Oh man you saw a good one. Whipped their butts and then Gmac comes in to throw a Dagger TD to Maze to rub it in…lol Good Times.

    Favorite Alabama Game You Attended In Person

    1991 - Bama at LSU I was 13 and it was my 1st game in person and the tailgating experience was amazing. Then the game started with a bang with the Deuce taking a punt around the 10-12 yard line and taking it to the house for a TD I lost my little mind on that one…lol Then after a getting a...

    Jalen Hurts becomes highest paid player in NFL history

    He’s an outstanding individual who does and says everything the right way. The best compliment I think I can give him is that if I had a son I’d want him to be like Jalen and if I had a daughter I’d want Jalen to marry her.

    Rockies @ Braves (6/13-6/15)

    Strider went 6ip and allowed 0 runs on 3 hits w/ 13 Ks on 87 pitches. That’s about as good of a start you can get from him so maybe the rust is off even though this is the Rockies.

    Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches in 13 innings 51 years ago today

    You awakened my curiosity so I looked up his 2 best years to see how many times he went 7 or more innings. 1994 - He made 25 Starts and went 7+ innings 22 times, He went 8+ innings 17 times and threw 10 CG’s AND a 9in outing that went to extra innings so basically 11 CGs That is 68% of starts...

    Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches in 13 innings 51 years ago today

    Nolan Ryan was a BEAST. One of my favorite non Brave players ever. He was like an Old Wild West Gunslinger on the mound. Really intimidating because he was just as likely to K the batter or hit them in the head..lol That was literally too because he whipped Robin Ventura’s butt one time…...

    Rockies @ Braves (6/13-6/15)

    My favorite play last night was Olson driving in 3 runs on a contact single. No telling how many runs we have left on the basepads this year by not just trying to get a hit. Oh it was good to see Ozuna have a big HR too. Maybe those two will get going.

    BREAKING House Versus NCAA Settlement Reached

    There has probably always been some kind of academic fraud going on everywhere too in the past for certain players. But at least we had some pretense that ALL players were Student Athletes 1st and that the student part took precedence. Most of the players probably took it seriously because...

    Game Thread: Braves @ Brewers (6/10-6/11)

    These days I distract myself from how the Braves are playing by thinking about our Greats from the past. Only 4 players have ever amassed 6,000+ TBs in MLB history. Aaron is #1 All-Time and Willie Mays is #4 Not bad for 2 Boys from Alabama.

    2025-They died this year

    His music is probably one of my earliest childhood memories. I remember being under 5 years old and playing my Dad’s Beach Boys 8-tracks in the living room. They just sounded like Summer Fun. RIP

    Very impressive in today’s game to see a guy go the distance. Acuna is 6 for 9 the last 2 days. I don’t care about HRs and Ks For today at least it’s nice to see a couple Braves actually pitch and hit a team to a win.
