Logging on here for the first time in awhile to try and find some reasonable discourse on the Epstein Files being illegally withheld since the bird app has completely suppressed the topic

Maybe the funniest outcome of the Braves first road trip would be their only win coming in a Bryce Elder vs Blake Snell game. Do it for comedy, Braves

The Braves will throw 4 starters that the Padres didn’t see last year when they eliminated the Braves in October. Especially funny when you consider all 4 of those pitchers were on the 26 man roster the day before the playoffs started (assuming Holmes is the 4)

The only spring stats I really can bring myself to care about are things like BB%, K%, SwStr% and CSW% where it’s available, maybe velocity. It’s why I’m still intrigued by Anderson Pilar, whose SwStr% is over 17% and K% is over 35% Anyways, Baldwin has a 21.4% BB and 3.6% K lololol

Mets have created an interesting bullpen situation for themselves. Dedniel Nuñez was unequivocally one of the best relievers in baseball when he was up last year, but there isn't a spot for him at the moment and the only guy they have with options was also very good

Don’t go on the other app if you would prefer to avoid a certain sexual abuser who has an ego the size of Donald Trump even though he is a washed up Mexican League pitcher and not the POTUS

There’s a lot of good content inside this piece. Cubs see King as a more likely extension candidate than Cease, which makes a lot of sense (Cease is a Boras client, King coming off a career year). Could be relevant information for Atlanta, too.

Lol the top two Braves relievers in 2024 by appearances in low-leverage were Aaron Bummer and Raisel Iglesias

Dodgers getting Roki is like Jeff Bezos buying one single lottery ticket and winning $10B

The Dodgers aren’t doing anything *wrong* and I’m not *mad* at them and I *love* a lot of their players, but I *hate* them as an entity. Having two rotation spots locked up with aces who are making close to league minimum that they didn’t draft or trade for…ugh

Would love to see the Braves take a shot on Jose Leclerc. I'm a sucker for a good SwStr% and his is just outside the top 10 in MLB the last three years (Dylan Lee is 4th btw)

Haven't seen the Braves on the list of teams ruled out of the Sasaki sweepstakes!

Just finished my first Lord of the Rings rewatch in a few years and *spoiler alert* it’s still absolutely flawless. I can’t believe they made three 10/10 movies in a row

ICYMI, I wrote a piece on the Braves payroll situation. TL;DR - they won't reset the luxury tax because there is no real incentive to do so, and they probably have somewhere around $35-50M to spend this offseason www.batterypower.com/2024/12/30/2...

Here’s why the Braves won’t reset the luxury tax

Also, a look at how much budget the Braves may have to spend this offseason.

Austin Cain-Reach @reach-baseball.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

Fascinating that the Mets had all the money in the world to spend this offseason and they went with Manaea, Montas, Holmes, and Canning to fill out the rotation behind Senga (and Peterson I suppose)

Finally got around to listening to these vinyls. Strider is so damn cool and it was very fun to get to dive more into his music taste. Best giveaway I’ve ever seen from a team

TL asleep? Here's some fuel - Dylan Lee from 6/2 to the end of the season: 34.1 IP 40.7% O-Swing 22.7% SwStr 😂 40.1% K 6.6% BB 2.62 ERA 3.02 FIP

Idk if the Braves have the sauce to get Kyle Tucker, but man oh man there isn't a better fit out there for the 2 hole in this lineup. Excellent plate discipline, on-base, power, speed. He's a truly exceptional player. Even one year of him would be worth losing some legit prospects

Top ten RP by SwStr% in 2024 with their average fastball velocity 1. Josh Hader (96.1 mph) 2. DYLAN LEE (92.4) 3. Mason Miller (100.9) 4. Griffin Jax (97.1) 5. Jason Adam (95.5) 6. Jeremiah Estrada (97.2) 7. Ryan Helsley (99.6) 8. Edwin Díaz (97.5) 9. Andrés Muñoz (98.4) 10. Fernando Cruz (94.6)

Seattle Times reporting that the Phillies are asking for Logan Gilbert or George Kirby as the return for Alec Bohm????????????????? That's batshit crazy

Frankie Montas $17M per year for NYM would give me the same warm fuzzies as Taijuan Walker $18M per year for PHI if NYM didn't have infinite money available to spend and a now-smart front office

The Braves are still projected to be better than the Dodgers in 2025 lol

Listening to my DJ playlist this morning and “The Way I Live” came on…legitimately got a little emotional thinking about Travis d’Arnaud being gone

Hey Bluesky. Before I start using this account for its intended purpose (Dylan Lee propaganda), here are some pictures of me
