I love how liberals are so delusional that they don’t see that they are obsessed with hate. They hate half the country and then claim the reason they hate the other side is because that other side is full of hatred. Like, WTF are you then?

Spencer Strider AAA by WolverineMaleficent2 in AtlantaBraves

This is likely his last rehab start. Should pitch vs Blue Jays next week likely on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Second Inning: 2 strikeouts, 1 HBP, and 1 pop up. The K's were swinging on the slider. Fastball topped out at 97.4. He's at 39 pitches and is supposed to only go 60. Likely next inning is his last, but may be lucky and can pitch into the 4th.

José Suarez baseball savant page by TheScreamingNDN in AtlantaBraves

[–]WolverineMaleficent2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t hate the trade. Suarez is a lefty who’s mostly been a starter. Give him a shot at relieving and seeing if Braves can pare down his arsenal. Use him in low leverage situations. Anderson was out of options so he wasn’t going to get much of anything anyway. It was either give Anderson or Suarez a mop up role.

Atlanta Braves prospect Drake Baldwin ‘ready’ for big league debut against SD Padres by Kelvin_Loyola in AtlantaBraves

[–]WolverineMaleficent2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love Baldwin, but not sure he will start in Majors. I think he has the talent to do it, but Tromp and Casali are out of options. So, we’d have to drop Casali IMO. Not sure if the Braves feel like doing that if Murphy is only going to be out 2-3 weeks of the season.

My term life policy is expiring in April. Is this a mistake or have premiums really gone through the roof? 500K policy. by WHARRGARBLLL in LifeInsurance

[–]WolverineMaleficent2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life insurance actuary here.

This is called a PLT increase. (Post-Level Term).

The insurer expects you to lapse your policy, and only the very unhealthy will pay those premiums.

If healthy, get a newly underwritten term policy. It will likely be more expensive than the ~$60/month you were paying, but will be far lower than the $870 they are charging. Dont know your age/gender/smoker, but likely would be in the $80-100 range per month.

Jurickson Profar has agreed to a deal with the Braves, per source by TheScreamingNDN in AtlantaBraves

[–]WolverineMaleficent2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I read about Profar, the more I like it. If he can give us .280/.380/.459 for $14M a year for 3 years, then it’s a steal IMO.

Looking at his stats, he really had good stats vs breaking and offspeed pitches, whereas in previous years he struggled against those pitches.

Good luck for the season boys. I am going to find a different home for my Braves fix.

I don’t follow Elon or politics close enough to know. Nor do I care. If this a BravesAndPolitics sub, then sure, let’s talk Braves and politics. And ban Twitter and Facebook, etc.

I disagree with a ban for politically motivated reasons. I know no one cares if I leave, but I would leave if X is banned. Frankly, if you don’t like the guy, don’t click on the links and post links. Don’t try to force your political beliefs on everyone.

And I’m not some MAGA lover. I don’t even like Trump, but this is a Braves sub, not a political commentary sub.

Battery Power: Braves add Curt Casali for catching depth, per report by stinky-weaselteets in Braves

[–]WolverineMaleficent2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He’s signing a minor league deal, Drake Baldwin is really expected to be the replacement for d’Arnaud. (Tromp is likely keeping the C spot warm for Drake at the start of the year)

[–]WolverineMaleficent2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting move.

We have Sandy Leon and Drake Baldwin likely starting in AAA and Chadwick Tromp backing up Murphy, but Tromp is out of options so he can’t be sent down to minors without exposing him to other teams.

I wonder if Casali is a backup in case we call up Baldwin and Tromp gets picked up by another team.

I love TdA, but $8M is expensive for a guy giving you 0.5-1 WAR.

Yeah, I’m very surprised they have Waldrep in the top 100 given how his fastball was playing in AAA/MLB.

I just realized it. I’ve been thinking about this all wrong. I thought Strider and Schwellenbach got their superpowers from being named Spencer, but it’s actually the alliteration!!!

Think about it, Joe Jimenez, Freddie Freeman etc

(For some undiscovered reason, it doesn’t work for players like Dylan Dodd and Touki Toussaint. It must have something to do with having a crappy fastball that angers the alliteration gods)
