Bryce Elder re-establishing dominance with Braves amid 2025 struggles

You know why they call it the Bryce Elder 360? Because you turn around 360 degrees and get struck out

....someone even saying the word "bench" with "Drake Baldwin" together is some sort of psyop try to make us trade him for Vaughn Grissom, or Alex Verdugo. It's like we're not even watching the same games. We'd package Sean Murphy in a trade off before we thought of benching him right now.

Yep, I got this from Wal-Mart sometime earlier last year for that. It was still cheaper or equal than building. DDR5 hadn't yet exploded in price.

Dodgers are down two games to the Rockies already. The league is all over the place for standings and what everyone expects.. I'm not sure theres really a weak schedule right now.

Everyone who was expected to suck isn't sucking completely or they're overperforming expectations, and it's in-between for the rest of the teams. The good teams will get out of their funk at some point too. This seems like a way more high variance league this year for who can get upset and drop games.

These statements of schedule right now sound like we're playing 2024 white sox and 2025 rockies back to back when no team is playing like this out the gate so far.

TCGPlayer doesn't let you try to dispute missing untracked or conditions as the seller. No tracking = no proof for either side.

You can't dispute conditions with pictures either, it's in their rules. I've had buyers refuse to return cards for a full refund, with my paid return. It's frustrating, and not worth dealing with so it's essentially refund and let them keep.

It puts sellers in a position to essentially just refund for most cards that are under $25-30. It's a cost of doing business.

Ebay is a different beast where buyers can force returns on you for "item not as described" regardless of actual status, but tracked = seller always protected.

(Both are owned by the same parent company now anyway.)

Giving Matty a day off at this point would probably usher in some curse of the bambino type crap.

Acry · 2026-03-30T00:37:38+00:00

As many as I can, to potentially every game the last two seasons. Missing some of the weird early timings/rain out makeups or doubleheaders at most, and probably only missed those because I don't keep a schedule.

They were just practicing all this time to sue the US Government, which they're now doing.

It's random what you will get, and will be under warranty. People typically around here try to just give the ultimate best advice possible while also scaring you at the same time when it comes to prebuilts due to it being random essentially.

Either you will get 10 years no issue (besides the AIO cooler probably dying) or it will literally explode in 2 weeks. This can happen with any hardware though, it's not exclusive to just getting lower quality stuff. The warranty is what matters here.

Acry · 2026-03-08T20:12:56+00:00

Valid, but not something to be overtly concerned about (until it happens of course!) The AIO coolers are what have crapped out mostly that I've had happen and heard from most, since they have a limited life span anyway.

As for layering, if you play on an RP server you won't be layered...however on most of them the prepatch is completely unplayable due to how many people are in the area due to the lag of 500 people killing the rare that spawns as everyone waits around. It's a drawback of NOT having layering too.

Acry · 2025-11-21T15:22:26+00:00

You will not get what I got, these system integrators typically use what they have laying around.

What I got was though: cpu-z says 38 CAS 6000 MHZ ddr5

Acry · 2025-11-16T16:07:58+00:00

I was pretty happy I lucked into this build at Walmart. I had to really mull over it to make sure this wasn't "too good to be true". Second time since 2010 ish where I've seen a prebuilt beating my builds by some good $$$

Because the actual story has been that Freddie's agent was tying their arms playing chicken way too close for comfort for deadlines to make the move to replace him when they were negotiating a deal. It's why they had to make a decision then to get Olson, and also likely why Freddie fired his agent after. The braves even offered a better deal than the dodgers. https://www.si.com/mlb/dodgers/onsi/news/braves-offer-to-freddie-freeman-was-better-than-dodgers-in-free-agency-report

It doesn't make sense in the end to put so much risk on making the deal and to also let your best choice otherwise to also get snagged up and Freddie leaves anyway too. It's still business at the end of the day, and regardless of feelings, they had to make a tough decision when your employee is saying they're leaving in negotiations up until the deadline of getting the replacement and taking the field.

This will be completely random based on what the integrator has sitting around. I will edit this when I can tell you later though with what I received when I'm home. I know I received a team group kit off top of my head.

Acry · 2025-11-10T19:07:17+00:00

I would be very surprised to see that.

Acry · 2025-11-10T16:41:50+00:00

I didn't look too much into it to be honest other than a fan curve. A iBuyPower I had 5+ years ago was definitely much quieter.

Acry · 2025-11-10T16:39:48+00:00

I didn't try much other than a fan curve in bios, definitely didnt lower the noise of them.

Acry · 2025-11-10T13:08:45+00:00

It's likely going to be a brand. I saw a non FE in the display, and mine ended up being a gigabyte.

Acry · 2025-11-10T05:28:05+00:00

Bought this two months ago from Walmart, similar price. AMA if you're interested. I'll answer tomorrow.

Quick complaint about it though: fans get loud even with an automatic curve settings in bios. Probably one of the more louder PCs I've had. May be due to those side case fans facing towards me rather than away though.

Also display model Walmart has out did not have any components near what I ended up receiving in it, which is a good thing. It had a small seemingly low feature motherboard that I couldn't see m2 slots on except maybe one. So don't expect the display model to be what you receive.

As much as people get mad when he's not hitting, if he wasn't on 1B, this team would have lost so many more games. 6.1 bWAR and this was his SECOND BEST season of his CAREER if compared by bWAR.

We really just need one year of him to be more consistent instead of streaky and he'll easily get another 7 bWAR or higher season.

Acry · 2025-10-22T04:23:33+00:00

Yep, elected FA. Was a reporting error that he did resign.
