2016 MLB Season Thread Baseball • Page 320

should we start a 2017 thread yet?

 

Absolutely no reason not to!

 

Absolutely no reason to until the season starts I say

 

I have no strong opinion for either one

 

Braves re-signed Josh Collmenter so I guess the exciting moves are already starting!

 

I'd say pitchers/catchers is when a new thread should start

 

I'm already subscribed to this one, sooo...

Pitchers and catchers report in 96/97/98 days? Something like that?

 

Voters elected to build a completely unnecessary new ballpark here, in more bad election news

 

fuck Jake Arrieta

 

Not soon enough for me lol. Actually I'm looking forward to college basketball. Not real into the NFL or NBA.

 

I hold no delusions that the political beliefs of likely all my favorite players differ heavily from my own, but fuck did it suck to see that tweet. He's the first Cubs player that I've ever gotten a real jersey for. I keep looking at it hanging up in my closet and just feeling pissed and bummed.

 

Hey so the Braves signed R.A. Dickey lol

 

Blue Jays fan my whole life, and I'm glad he got a chance to play somewhere else instead of retiring. The problem with him is you really need to sign his personal catcher Thole too because hes good at it. Hitting a baseball on the other hand, as bad as it gets.

 

Glad the Rangers won't be facing him anymore!

 

Fuck Trevor Bauer too

 

He was a great pickup for your club and a huge part in the awesome run this year. Athletes are mainly sources of entertainment for us. I would actually expect from a tax standpoint a lot of athletes to lean towards Trump, despite what they project in the public, especially if they have a brand to push. If it was me, I would still rock the jersey and cheer him on for the good of my team. I was a big Iverson and Shawn Kemp fan as a kid, still am, but they each had plenty of ugly things happen during their pro careers that bummed me out back then. I guess it taught me to separate things at an early age. Heck, even LeBron has been pretty shitty at times despite how many awesome things he does for our community. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying enjoy your title and don't let one tweet get in the way of it. You guys earned it.

 

I am so excited about Bartolo Colon to the Braves

 

The man is a national treasure. Dickey and Colon are exactly what the Braves need in 2017. Veteran inning eaters that won't block the kids if they're ready

 

Braves should sign Buehrle while they're at it.

 

No way Rizzo should have beat out Freeman for that Silver Slugger.

 

Just in. Braves revive Cy Young to eat innings for them until their pitchers are ready to come up.

 

damn kinda shocked we didnt resign Colon. Our entire staff is banged up. Having that reliable veteran was such a luxury.

 

Never forget. Thank you Big Sexy.

 

haha i love that kinda shit in baseball where they all leave the dugout for something like that to rag on a guy.

 

I love Gary Cohen's calls
