Better check again!

Better check again!

Someone is spending a lot of time spamming for that follis kid.

6 for 6 is way harder of a feat than 2 goals in a high school soccer game.

Call Stephen Colbert. He is good at rigging votes, like that bridge in Hungary a few years ago.

Sorry, after what almost happened to the Preds, I will never support relocation of another major sports team. Just hang in there and wait for expansion.

they’ve already lost the raiders and warriors. i am with you on the sentiment but the city of Oakland is obviously screwing the pooch on many fronts…

Same. I'd embrace them and treat them well and respectfully if they came, but I don't wish for any fanbase to lose their team.

 

[Aardvarksson]

Went to the Sounds opener. They lost 18-6 to Memphis Great fireworks though

It sounds like the team will pay for the stadium and their asking for infrastructure improvements. Frankly, infrastructure (and in this case it would all be physical, i.e. subway stops) is typically a fairly easy sell. Makes it easy to understand why Oakland is bleeding sports franchises.

6-6 in District tournament is really tough, The first pitcher they faced is a D1 commit from Oakland. Caden went 4-4 against him. Rutherford Co is stacked in baseball, really tough district

I saw a response yesterday that brought forth a giggle because sometimes I'm 12.
"I will never be an Athletics Supporter"

Braves bullpen is never going to be good enough with what they have. starting pitching is average.

same old homer or strikeout at the plate. do not see them making the playoffs.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

Perfect example…

8-4 bottom of the 9th. Braves Swanson batting - 0 on 0 out

3-2 and swings at ball 4.

1-4 on the day for swanson with a 2 run HR and 3 Ks

15 strikeouts for the day.

Lifelong, die hard Braves fan- this team is a complete and absolute mess. I will be absolutely shocked if we make the playoffs this year.

Today's game was another complete embarrassment- that 9th inning perfect microcosm- 4-4 game- Jays get a bunch of clutch hits, score 4 runs, bat for about 30 minutes. Braves come up and its 3 straight strikeouts in about 4 minutes tops.

We just went 0-6 against Toronto- we made them look like the 27 Yankees and they do look like a very good team. But then you look at their record- and they are 14-16 against everyone but the Braves. NOT GOOD.

Compare this Braves team to last year's team- it is worse in every area- there is not a single part of this team (starting pitching, bullpen, offense, defense, depth, etc, etc, etc) that is not significantly worse than last year

And oh by the way, its not a popular opinion, but Brian Snitker is a TERRIBLE in game manager.

It is going to be a long year.

 

[Armourboy]

Clemons would have had a field day with that group.

Thank you all

The Sounds lineup might be better than the Brewers lineup tonight.

The Raiders moved far away to Las Vegas after previous moves to LA and back.

Golden State moved across the bay to San Francisco. That is like Minneapolis to St Paul.

The Warriors played at the Cow Palace next to the border of San Francisco in the 1960s and didn't move to Oakland until 1971. Short of moving back to Philly, you could say that they are back home.

My neighbors went to the Brewers game. I told them it was still hockey season.
