With a struggling offense and the reigning NL MVP out for the season, the Braves all of a sudden are a team to keep a close eye on leading up to the trade deadline. The top priority for Atlanta has to be acquiring a bat, and I would argue one isn’t nearly enough. They need several, and outfielders are the most logical fit,which Jim Bowden noted in his latest piece for The Athletic. “Three years ago, the Braves lost Ronald Acuña Jr. to a season-ending ACL tear but went on to win the World Series because president of baseball ops…

Without a doubt, times are a bit tough for the Atlanta Braves. However, it seems that the franchise and its players are well thought of by MLB players. This was indicated in the 2024 MLB Player Poll via the Athletic. It seems may around baseball feel Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of the most talent players in the game, and the Braves were the team that earned the highest percentage of votes in regards to the question about which team players would most like to sign with. So, for whatever it is worth, it certainly seems that the vibes remain positive off the field. Now…

It’s about time Pete Rose gets the recognition he deserves while still alive for being a great, hard-nosed baseball player (”Time to let Rose in Hall of Fame, and restore OSU’s 2010 record,” Bob Paulson column, May 5). Other players have earned accolades and been inducted into the Hall of Fame for their abilities and stats even though, as The New York Times’ Bill Pennington wrote a decade ago, the HOF “already includes multiple virulent racists, drunks, cheats, brawlers, drug users and at least one acknowledged sex addict.” And in the future — who knows — maybe it will include…

In response to the Thomas Urban letter, “Pete Rose belongs in the baseball Hall of Fame” The one problem NOT listed in that letter for current Hall of Fame inductees is gambling on games of baseball where the gambler took an active part on the field or managing the team. Pete Rose claims that he only gambled on his team to win but what did that tell his gambling connections when he didn’t bet? It gave them the idea to bet that Pete’s team would more likely lose that game. Did manager Pete withhold certain starting pitchers and relief pitchers…

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…
