Sorry for the delayed game thread. Ryan is out of commission at a family event this weekend. So use this thread to comment on the debut of the Wizard of Wall Street, see Obituary for Thurston Howell, III | Gilligan Funeral Home (gilliganfuneralhomes.com). I’m posting this after the game has started, and the Braves have already scored two runs in the first three innings. Stop the presses!

ith the Denver Nuggets looking to reshape their supporting cast around their top stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray after falling short of title repeat, Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey proposed a minor trade that could have a major impact next season. Denver Nuggets receive: Vasilije Micić Charlotte Hornets receive: Zeke Nnaji Trading for Micić could give the Nuggets a veteran backup to Murray especially if Reggie Jackson declines his $5.2 million player option and signs for bigger money elsewhere. The impact of Micić’s potential addition could address the Nuggets’ main weakness — their bench scoring which was exposed in the playoffs, especially when Jokic gets his customary rest.…

dynamics have fueled the headlines for decades, but their latest clash reignites an age-old argument: Should Pete Rose be inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame? Johnny Bench, the Hall of Fame catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, recently made waves with his outspoken stance against Rose’s induction. In a candid interview, Bench didn’t hold back, openly mocking Rose and questioning his legacy in the sport they both once dominated. Bench’s remarks cut deep, striking at the heart of Rose’s decades-long campaign for Hall of Fame recognition. The crux of Bench’s argument? Rose’s gambling scandal tarnished the integrity of the game,…

The Braves offense is amid a shockingly abysmal stretch since the end of April in which they’ve been among the worst lineups in baseball. If it weren’t for Marcell Ozuna, an argument could be made that this team might not even be .500, let alone nine games over. However, there are signs of improvement; most notably, Matt Olson‘s form over the last few weeks. The Braves first baseman, who set a franchise record for home runs in a season last year with 54, began the season like much of the Atlanta offense, mired in a nasty slump. From April 9th to May…

Aaron Judge hit a pair of solo homers, upping his major league-leading total to 23, but the Yankees lost their first series loss since dropping three of four at Baltimore bridging April and May. The Yankees were without Juan Soto for the second straight game as the slugger is day-to-day with left forearm inflammation. Phillies 7, Mets 2 Whit Merrifield headlined a six-run fourth inning with a three-run homer and Philadelphia beat New York in the opener of a two-game set in London. Bryce Harper also went deep in the fourth for Philadelphia, finishing the game 3-for-4 with a single…

When Fabio Grosso, Olympique Lyonnais’ second manager of the season, was sacked at the end of November, he left the club in turmoil. Pierre Sage replaced the Italian – initially on an interim basis – with the club bottom of Ligue 1 and in crisis. Since, Sage, in his first experience at this level, has orchestrated one of the great comebacks in French football history. From bottom of the table in December and in the relegation zone as recently as February, he has guided Lyon to sixth in Ligue 1. Regardless of the result of their Coupe de France final…

Maxence Caqueret (born 15 February 2000) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Ligue 1 club Lyon.[3] Club career[edit] Lyon[edit] Caqueret is a product of the Lyon academy. He made his first team debut on 5 January 2019 in a 2–0 away win against Bourges 18 in the Coupe de France. He started the match before being replaced by Houssem Aouar after 72 minutes. On 30 November, Caqueret played his first Ligue 1 game against Strasbourg giving an assist to Maxwel Cornet in a 2–1 win. On 4 January, Caqueret scored his first professional goal in Coupe de France against Bourg-en-Bresse.[4] Career statistics

Atlanta Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach was roughed up in his second career start and Atlanta was shut out for the first time in more than a year in their 9-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. “Lot of strikes, kid is learning,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said per ESPN. “He doesn’t have a lot to fall back on yet. But the stuff was good. He threw a lot of strikes. Got hurt with some two-strike, probably got too much of the plate. But he competes really well. Stuff is good and there’s a lot of upside there.” Schwellenbach (0-2) allowed six…

Adam Duvall has been in this position before. Almost this exact same position, actually. The Braves lost star right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. to a torn ligament in his right knee on July 10, 2021. They acquired Duvall from the Marlins 20 days later. He had 16 home runs, 45 RBIs, and an .800 over the rest of the season, and the Braves went on to win the World Series. Acuña tore a ligament in his left knee on May 26 and is again out for the season. This time, Duvall was waiting on Atlanta’s bench, having agreed to a one-year contract worth…

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale has won the National League Pitcher of the Month award after dominating May. A series of unfortunate events allowed for the award to sting Boston Red Sox fans, in particular. The trade involving Sale looks less and less promising for the Sox. Sale pitched to a 0.56 ERA in May, and he racked up a stellar 45 strikeouts. Ten of those strikeouts came on May 8, as Sale plowed through Boston’s lineup to collect a season-best performance. The Red Sox will begin a second two-game series with the Braves on June 4, and they’re lucky enough…
