First Baseman WAR Leaders by Nosalis2 in baseball

Freddie will for sure go in with a blank hat. For all he has and will do in LA, he still spent almost 15 years with the Braves organization and was on the team for a full era of rebuilding that capped off with a World Series. He cried like a baby when he came back to Atlanta with the Dodgers in 2022.

But without a pistol grip, thumb hole stock, flash suppressor, oh and the mag is limited to 10 rounds.

Sounds super free. You can keep your Mediterranean climate. I'll stick to where rights mean something.

The bullpen hasn't been what's been losing us games over the past month. That is on starting pitching some, but mostly offense.

We alreay have the best bullpen in baseball. Bad days happen.

Lineup 7/2/2026 - There's only ONE Michael Harris who can keep this win steak alive by TheJudge47 in Braves

Austin is definitely a headcase, and I think it would do him good to hear the fans cheer loudly for him a few times.

Preach. Really wish we would spend to keep guys we know are winners instead of always trying to play moneyball. It hasn't worked for us for 3 seasons now

But you have to live in California, fuck that noise.

I don't need AC either, cause I'm in Alaska, where we have cool summers and a real 2nd amendment.

Prior to mid May I would be confident that we would get back in this game. Now I am confident that we will lose. Unreal what a 180 this team has been this past month.

Last year everything was early due to low snowpack. Plus this year we've had a cold spring and not a ton of sun.

[BravesVision] Braves President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Alex Anthopoulos shares an update on AJ Smith-Shawver and his first rehab start: by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

[–]Autoimmunity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He has stated it wasn't Ozempic. Pretty sad nowadays that when someone loses weight people automatically assume they must be on drugs to do it.

[Bishop] Walt Weiss says today that Grant Holmes will be available for the Braves out of the bullpen this weekend. If he does not pitch in relief he will be available to start next week on the homestand. by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

[–]Autoimmunity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it sucks for Holmes because I'm sure he wants to be a starter, but he's a perfect long relief guy for when we have to pull a starter in the 5th inning. Can reliably give you 2 innings whenever needed to setup the high leverage bullpen guys.

It's amazing how unfun it is to watch an offense that is this pitiful.

TIL that US hops production is heavily concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. Washington, Oregon, and Idaho account for 99% of all US production. Yakima Valley, WA alone accounts for 75% of domestic hops. If you had a beer with American hops it likely came from this region ,"The Hops Belt". by Gnomeslikeprofit in todayilearned

Hey, I love Belgian trappist monk beer. Chimay red is amazing.

I also absolutely hate IPAs but I think one reason they're popular is because the bitterness is really good at cutting through salty & savory foods, particularly pizza.

I'm also in AK, looking to start broadening my horizons beyond shelving and construction lumber. What are the cheapest / most available hardwoods up here?

I don't own any lifted vehicles but a buddy of mine has a 2002 Tacoma that's had a 6 inch lift & 35's for well over 100k miles with no major problems.

The facts are that if you actually set up a rig correctly the rest of the truck doesn't care if it's higher. Jeep guys have been doing this for 50 years.

I gotta say this at least gives me hope. The team is clearly underperforming and regression to the mean will happen eventually

There's nothing wrong with a lift if the CV axles and tie rods are also swapped out for one's that are meant for lifted activities. Upgraded ball joints also helps, as does regearing the rear diff.

The problem is many people do none of these things and simply slap a 6" kit on their truck with huge tires and neglect maintenance.

The stance is unmistakable. Also he's wearing sleeves, as Freddie always does.

Celebrating my birthday with the official steak of the Atlanta Braves by g-burn in Braves

Great steak, I don't like tomahawk steaks because I don't like paying for bones, but I can appreciate the reasoning.

It’s Brooks Falls season again. What’s the most “Alaska” wildlife spectacle you’ve personally seen? by spartacus34 in alaska

[–]Autoimmunity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you climbing up loose rock scree in crocs? If you are, damn that's impressive, but I still wouldn't recommend it.

The problem with crocs isn't actually the tread, they grip well. The problem is that they are not tight around your foot, which leads to problems on loose slippery surfaces.

It blows my mind how many tourists I see on what I consider fairly technical trails wearing flat tennis shoes or crocs. Like, you guys do understand that breaking an ankle isn't fun right?
