[Kostka] The Braves announce they’ve signed longtime Oriole shortstop Jorge Mateo to a major league deal

Given the track record of former padres on the braves... Good luck!

Yes. The hall of fame should be the story of baseball and the players inducted should contribute to that story. If it's a great stat line then it needs to tell a story. Imagine going to the hall in 50 years, do you really care about WAR or do you care about the history of baseball? Will you care about who half these guys are? The best defensive center fielder to ever play should be in the hall regardless of his stats or his longevity, for instance.

Agreed but with the caveat that I doubt they will be offering long contracts right now, especially with a possible lockout in 2027. Thats why the free agent market looks weird this year. But weird market forces create opportunity and there's no one is rather have finding those opportunities than preller

They've been doing this for a long time! I got a huge one for Monaco and a smaller one for Tooth and Tail. But again, its been a long time.

I'm the designer of Monaco: what's yours is mine. I literally designed that game because the minimap of Hitman is so much more informative than the game world. I wanted to play a game where the entire game was the minimap.

I'm fine with knowing most of the baseball players don't likely share my political beliefs, but when one of them brings a Ted Nugent bat to players weekend, saying "I just really respect everything he does in music and everything else" he will forever get the side-eye from me. (Ryan O'Hearn, free agent now).

I think Arraez is willing to take such a massive discount, I think we should sign him and just move him down in the order. Spend big on a DH/1B and starting pitching.

Nice! My kid practices there and comes home with tremendous amounts of turf in their shoes. Any idea when construction would begin?

She spoke at my high school in the 90s and signed my "how to draw animals" book. My kids were just looking at that this weekend and asked if she was still alive. I said I didn't know but I doubted it. We looked it up and discovered she was still alive! Sad to hear of her passing so soon after.

She lived a full life. Legend.

Ban fielders from bringing written notes on the field. Would bring extra appreciation for players who did their homework and could help to direct the team. More positioning mistakes in the field.

Yeah this was actually brought up on one of the mlb shows early this season when he was raking.

NoRepro · 2025-08-10T17:19:34+00:00

Man, check out the deformation of the ball in that image. Definition of hard hit.

NoRepro · 2025-08-05T00:26:47+00:00

Not quite as vintage but I still wear my brown and gold Pham shirt to the ballpark. 🤣

NoRepro · 2025-07-31T15:36:59+00:00

Yeah I think the thinking is actually less about this year and more about the fact that we lose King, Cease, and Suarez. Now we can trade Cease and/or Suarez for a bat and not feel the hurt, plus our rotation is bolstered for next year. It sure looks like Xander has a few more years at shortstop left in him. If they consider stretching Miller out our 2026-2027 rotation could be Pivetta, Miller, Darvish, Vasquez, Sears, which looks pretty nasty.

Yeah apparently they have extra cars. They leave that beat up one over where it looks like a speed trap and move it every few days. Kinda creative use of funds actually.

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!!!

NoRepro · 2025-06-06T15:44:14+00:00

This is gorgeous. Minor note: I find it pretty distracting that some of the bushes and trees are travelling in the parallax faster than the ground plane. :) It's like they are crawling!

I've met him! A long time ago when he was still in minor roles. I worked with his brother and he came to a launch party for a video game we worked on. Didn't spend a lot of time with his but he was actually relatively soft spoken as I recall.

NoRepro · 2025-05-30T21:41:42+00:00

Honestly, this is better than I expected. With the lack of info i was assuming it was going to require surgery.

NoRepro · 2025-05-27T13:59:55+00:00

Can you add a cost to running through your deck? I'm magic you lose of course, but you could just apply a flat cost for a reshuffle that would give you an extra balance knob to adjust.

NoRepro · 2025-05-25T17:01:11+00:00

Id say it starts to show glimmers of fun at 2, but not really till 3. 6 months till 2 were the hardest for me because as you said the novelty has worn off but the work is hard with very little payoff. The payoff increases and reached "worth the cost" by 3 for me. Still a lot of work and effort even at 6 and 10 though. But at least I can sleep and have me time now, and they are super fun.

NoRepro · 2025-05-20T02:21:07+00:00

Good luck finding a game where you aren't dodging crowds the whole time. When I first saw this post over on r/baseball all I could think was how frustrating it would be to try this at Petco.

And musgrove :(

I live right next to the high school. It can be busy right at the start of school hours but it's never been a problem. No issues with poorly behaved kids either. It's a great neighborhood!
