After MLB took the All-Star game away from the Atlanta fans, it felt great to bring the World Series and the Commissioner’s Trophy to Atlanta. Baseball is a place where people can come together and cheer for something. It shouldn’t be used as something to drive people apart.
Some people have asked why I just started tweeting. Who would have cared what a 28 year old Indy ball player would have to say. “Just got on the bus, 26 hours till we arrive in the middle of nowhere to play a team at the local YMCA.” Honestly, great times though.
We, Dodgers and Rams should all do a joint parade together!!!! With a live concert afterwards to end it!! City of Champions 🏆🏆🏆💍💍💍. Congrats 🐏 once again!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The person who learned from failure succeeded. The yips might be the best thing that ever happen to me. I learned more from that failure than success ever could, on and off the field.
Breaking: Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts, believed to have received a copy of Grays Sports Almanac from future self. Plans to open Dave Roberts’ Pleasure Paradise Casino and Hotel in near future.
NFL OT rules might be the worst in sports. Basically comes down to a coin flip. With that said, might have been the most amazing week of NFL football ever.
Idea: MLB players put on an all star series of their own. Live stream it and play a 5-7 game series. Get professional cameras set up, in game interviews and behind the scenes access. Do large teams, something like 50 players with everyone having to play. Would fans tune in?
Avg. MLB game length: 3:03
Avg. “Action time” in MLB: 18 minutes
Avg. NFL games length: 3:12
Avg. time of “ball in play” in NFL: 18 minutes
Does baseball need to speed up or become more entertaining?
Every rule change helps the hitters. Any day now pitchers are going to have to tell the hitters what pitch is coming. Owners are selling offense, not baseball.
In a recent poll taken by people who hate baseball, 100% said they would love to see an umpire end a game in the most exciting situation.

When your why is strong, you can do a lot. When you attach love, the strongest human emotion, to that why you became unstoppable. Find your why and attach love to it. Emotions drive people and love is the nitro fuel. Use it.
Relief pitchers are people too. 😂😂😂
With the way the game is going the NCRP (non-closer relief pitcher) will become an extremely important role on a successful team. With starters going shorter in games, gap guys will impact the outcome more than ever.
Manfred: “We never used the phrase last, best and final offer with the union. We said to them it was the best offer prior to the deadline to cancel games.”
Reporter: “If it was not your last, best and final why would they (union) have accepted it?”

Fans of baseball and the Atlanta Braves come from all backgrounds and political parties. It’s a place where the political fight shouldn’t be fought. That’s the point. Sports should bring us toghether not divide us. Players are not political pawns.
Pitchers are so good today they have to change rules to try and even the playing field. Pitchers see the technology available to them and learn to use it. Most pitchers today have at least some understanding on fluid dynamics. That wasn’t the case 10+ years ago.
Thread:
Players would love to play something like the real thing. Problem is, with MLB exempt from antitrust laws nobody can start a league to compete with MLB. It’s the only major sport that is exempt. That’s why we see leagues like the USFL pop up and compete with the NFL.
@AUTOGENERATED48
Cute meme. Love me some Joey but again, you’re missing the point. The diamond shouldn’t be tainted by politics. It’s a beautiful game. Leave it at that. It has nothing to do with right or left. If they moved the game from Colorado to Atlanta I would say the same thing. Would you?
@JomboyMedia
When you work hard on your post career velo belt you gotta show it off sometimes. Give the people what they want. From one thicc boy to another, respect.
In order for the NFL to keep the best players from seeking greener grass in other leagues the NFL must provide for the players. Hard to compete with MLB while they’re exempt from these anti monopoly laws. They know this and is why they have set up a lobbyist office in DC.
This also effects the fans, when there is less competition in the market (baseball teams in city) then the owners can then spike ticket prices knowing the only place to be entertain by baseball is to pay they’re price. This hurts the game and it’s draw to new fans.
@katiebravesfan
This would be no different than the bullpens or live BPs pitchers and hitters are doing right now to get ready for the season. Just more of a game played at 80% to give the fans some entertainment.

NFL is like starting with a runner on second but if the run scores in the top half of the inning, the game ends and you have no chance to tie it up in the bottom.
