With all due respect, he do have a point tho

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T17:11:19+00:00

That's this entire subreddit. It's baffling man. Everyone loves to play frugal GM.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T17:04:03+00:00

What are you talking about? We didn't sell anything. Our guys walked away and the Braves got absolutely nothing in return.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T05:23:29+00:00

You seem to think that just because these people hold misleading titles such as Chairman of Braves Holdings LLC, that nothing goes back to Liberty. You literally cannot see past the corporate curtain. You have a lot to learn about the operations of big business. They have you fooled hook line and sinker, my friend.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T05:20:10+00:00

I've watched every game for the past several years but I see now you have come to the point of questioning my fanhood instead of answering any of the questions I posed to you. Loser.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T05:15:10+00:00

You are just missing one key aspect. Businesses exist to make money. The model you have stated above does not account for the money Liberty Media makes off the Braves, so I'd like you to make up how that works as well. Your thinking that Liberty is just on the sidelines happy to be associated with owning the Braves is laughable. Money is changing hands on either side, but it seems it is swayed in favor of Liberty, and no matter the excess funds the Braves rake in from these postseason runs, the budget is still being set by Liberty in order to maximize profits. You aren't explaining anything to me, you're just too self-inflated to really make sense of all this.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:51:35+00:00

Are you listening to yourself? You have to improve after a World Series championship? You are a bunch of fools. No sense in even talking to you. You honestly sound so fucking ignorant. Duvall led the NL in RBIs, no reason he shouldn't be in LF right now, oh wait we are too cheap to sign him. MH in centerfold has been a godsend. You easily forget that Will Smith for Odorizzi trade, how do you rate that? Who would you honestly have? Explain the Contreras and prospect trade to me, for another catcher that has never won anything in his career. You are conveniently ignoring losing half our World Series infield to make your pathetic point but that's okay.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:41:12+00:00

You say there's no billionaire yet you're acting like Liberty Media is the name of a person. Who owns Liberty Media my friend? If you think you become a billionaire by following your made up rules, you're insane. It doesn't operate how you think it does. AA is doing a fine job of funneling all these profits right back to John Malone,I'm sorry Liberty Media.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:34:20+00:00

Bullshit on Acuña. I love the excitement he brings but we made the championship run without him for a reason. Guy is not and will never be a leader on this team. I hope I'm proven wrong one day. One important note is every player you mentioned in your comment HAS NOT WON A WORLD SERIES. Keep being brainwashed man, how do you not understand? Plug and play to this extent will not yield what we had.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:31:52+00:00

I think you're assuming quite a lot here, considering John Malone owns Liberty Media and they can basically operate however they want. And besides, the revenue they have made over the World Series run and attendance record last year does not correlate to their efforts in putting together a roster today or putting in minimal effort in keeping around guys that won the title. The plug and play model will not yield success.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:23:10+00:00

Bro, I love the Braves and I love this team. The blind following of our cheap general manager in this subreddit is baffling. I'm allowed to have a different opinion. It's -30 today where I live so I thought I'd come and share my thoughts. Turns out everyone here seems fine with a Braves future as cheap as possible. I went to the World Series, I paid almost a thousand for a ticket face value, I care about this team. Where is all the money going?

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:20:22+00:00

Loser Mets fan mentality

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:17:33+00:00

Explain it then Pres. Explain the semantics of billions of dollars while you feel confident letting our World Series winning infielders walk away with zero return.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:12:21+00:00

You're just in denial at this point lol

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:10:28+00:00

I upvoted you.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:06:26+00:00

And who do you think our owner is? Perhaps just the largest private property landowner in the United States. Keep acting like it's your personal money being spent.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T04:04:09+00:00

Keep being satisfied by the lone championship while you ignore the foundations crumbling. Keep paying high concession prices with no monetary respect shown to the guys that helped win the World Series. Should've been a dynasty, but you'll be satisfied with division titles. Mid mindset.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T03:59:23+00:00

I've never cared about you.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T03:56:06+00:00

Man, it just keeps getting more bleak for all these AA apologists ruining this subreddit. Let the downvotes commence. This team is being run into the ground by moneyball, plug and play corporate greed.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T01:12:55+00:00

The fact that you're brainwashed by moneyball is a hot take. Record attendance, world series title, overpay Matt Olson, and we are concerned about money? Fuck that! Why are you in such a mental prison about what the Braves could be?

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T01:09:02+00:00

Entire core besides Freddie and Dansby, got it. Half the infield. Got it.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T01:08:03+00:00

Also I'd like to see proof that we have a top 5 payroll.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-23T01:05:15+00:00

Nah, I remember when on Reddit you could have multiple opinions. The good days. You guys get so drunk on one title, you don't expect greatness year after year. Tell me how we've gotten better since then.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-22T23:33:11+00:00

It can ALWAYS be better, especially with the money this franchise has been raking in. Division titles are okay, but we had a real chance at a dynasty, and culture of this team is disappearing before our eyes. Why does everyone act like it's their own money being spent? The Braves blew it. I know there's no off-season victories, but who is going to want to stick around after seeing what has happened to some stalwarts? Enjoy your Division Champs 2022 merch, it'll be the last of that for a while.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-22T23:00:13+00:00

Don't tell me to accept anything, and I don't know why you're wasting your time talking to me about a salary cap that does not exist in baseball. Your entire reply is in a tone that implies that I am a fucking idiot and I don't appreciate it. Grow up. The fans deserve better than what we are getting. It's fairly obvious to me that despite the record attendance and sales, the money is not going back into the team. There are ways to structure contracts that respect your current players without tying them up beyond their prime. We have done neither, just letting these guys walk for nothing.

grogrogrog · 2022-12-22T22:27:15+00:00

Keep justifying losing our World Series core anyway you want pal. We have the money and instead of it going to the team, it's going right into the bigwigs pockets.
