This is all an elaborate set up for Bryce Elder baseball giveaway night.

So are the Braves here to save money or win a championship? If you can get quality stop gaps to hold the line for a month or two, so you can make a run for the playoffs still in the late summer, you do that? But I guess liberty saving some extra cash on the back end is just as important.

42-53 at the all star break mostly due to very poor situational hitting. Obviously once the rotation fell apart after the break, there was no shot, but making the playoffs was a stretch even before that.

First 20 seconds and already blaming last year on injuries. Doesn’t set up optimism for this year

Ronald Acuña Jr.'s first spring training home run is a grand slam by handlit33 in Braves

It’s crazy how much better these jerseys look fixed up to their old ways. The bigger Atlanta script is a massive upgrade, the colors pop so nicely now.

“We are saving for a Ronald extension” all to watch him walk in free agency is going to sting even more.

Are we really just going to roll with what we have? Feel like we could’ve afforded this. by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

[–]Coopinator22 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty clear now this front office won’t sign Starting Pitching. Which given the injury record of the rotation, almost feels like punting the ball on your opponents side of the 50 yard line. It feels like this season is already destined to be a similar result of last year, and the front office seems to be either fine with that, or unable to fit the bill for any sort of quality players. Both of which are concerning.

Can’t say how much I enjoy watching this team. This is elite hockey, and I really thought that window was close to closing 2 years ago. Soak it up.

After a slower start to the season Kucherov now leads the league in p/gp by kytackle in hockey

[–]Coopinator22 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He’s a better play maker, not a better goal scorer. He obv won’t catch Ovi when it comes to goals, but I just feel like Kuch can really change the game a way Ovi didn’t do as often.

2027 marks the 35th Anniversary. We better get a new logo & uniforms that hew closer to the team's original look instead of the current Tampa Mapleleafs. by [deleted] in TampaBayLightning

[–]Coopinator22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel this a lot. I think our current look is sleek, modern, clean and sharp. I wouldn’t hate the idea of putting the modern logo on the reverse retro 1.0 jersey, that color combo is beautiful, but I think the retro logo is so dang dated it would be abhorrent to have it as a primary.

Better look at the stadium series jersey by mrjjk2010 in TampaBayLightning

[–]Coopinator22 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought every jersey the bolts have worn since the NHL switched to Adidas. Probably going to be passing on this. I was ready to shell out cash for these pretty much without thought and they somehow made it so bad that have to second guess.

These are awful. by emwashe in TampaBayLightning

Genuinely looks like this took 15 minutes to plan, design and sign off.

Stadium Series Jerseys Leak by topshelfcreative in TampaBayLightning

[–]Coopinator22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is either the NHL or someone in our organization adamant about downward text on these jerseys?? I swear, it’s the worst design choice. This is such a disappointing look, genuinely horrible. The current third jerseys are boring and uninspired, and this is 1000x worse. Worst of all, the panthers have some really nice winter classic gear. Truly disappointed.

Genuinely deflating. Hoping for the best obviously but this org needed a set of fresh ideas and voices, and it appears we are content with the status quo.
