Oh no… Spencer Strider has elbow ligament damage, MRI shows. Tommy John surgery presumably imminent. Sigh.
Spring training baseball is finally here
Finally the first Braves spring training game of the season that is available to stream on MLB.tv.
Ohtani to Dodgers for $700 million
Meanwhile the Braves have made 9 different trades where each one they slightly improve the pieces of garbage they acquired. By the end they’ll have one replacement level left fielder.
Braves clinch 6th straight NL East title
Braves beat the Phillies to clinch their sixth straight National League East title.
Braves at Rangers in Arlington
Braves in town versus Rangers. Chance to see Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuna Jr. in person.
Left the family at home. Much more reasonable to but good midweek tickets when you’re only buying one. Ha.
Braves blow four run 9th inning lead
There are not many things as frustrating than watching a baseball game for 3+ hours only for the team you’re rooting for to give up 5 runs in the 9th and blow it. Ugh.
MLB Opening Day 2023
MLB and Braves Opening Day is here. Will watch probably 120+ games via MLB.tv between now and end of season. Since 2020, Braves games (mostly on mute) have been back as a background of my daily life/work/tv/podcast. Great and comforting to have it back.
First baserunner/batter of the season and Braves have already stolen a base. (Primer on all the 2023 rules changes for those who are curious.)
New Braves City Connect jerseys for 2023
The newly revealed Braves’ City Connect uniforms for this season look great.
I still like their actual regular throwbacks that these are based on more, but all the little details here are really nice.
Relaxing with ADHD
Last night after putting the kids to bed I relaxed by watching a Braves game on my iPad while playing Xbox and watching a movie at 1.5x on my laptop.
This is hilarious. But also, for every out you get using a position player pitching in one game you should be forced to get that many outs with one to start the next game.
