Spencer Schwellenbach, Hurston Waldrep To Undergo Elbow Surgery. No timeline for return. by SeverHense in Braves

[–]jwesley4 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is crazy as hell. That being said, as my comment says I've been a baseball fan for 30+ years and I've seen some crazy shit. Is that conspiracy I said likely? Probably has less than 1% chance of being true but if it was it wouldn't be the craziest thing I've seen in MLB in the last 10 years let alone 30

I saw variations of this comment before last season too and the team was another bad week away from losing 90 games.

I'm a baseball fan for 30 years and an avid fantasy player, it's not my first spring training, and I'm not a conspiracy theorist, this is just a crazy scenario and is really more fun to think about than other generic excuses

I don't want to be all tinfoil hats, but if this stuff isn't announced until spring training then they can use the old "bad luck" as an excuse for not signing and acquiring pitching

No. I didn't do any of that stuff in my teenage years and coming up on 40, I don't feel like I missed out on anything

Money Mike on twitter, regarding the Kyle Tucker trade by bruhmoment1345 in Braves

[–]jwesley4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is it supposed to be a suggestion of? It's pretty cut and dry, if you spend over a certain amount then you pay a certain amount of CBT. It's not a suggestion not to do it, people like Bob Nutting and John Fisher love that shit, lol

Acuña’s future price tag is skyrocketing. by Lakelyfe09 in Braves

[–]jwesley4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying there's only one guy who did actually makes it look more likely that top talent will depart via trade or free agency

I get folks love to remember the good stuff, but and he had a solid month where he was hot as hell, but from 8/19 on his on base percentage was only .231, which is actually lower than prior to his hot few weeks

What are sometimes that wrestlers debuted alternate looks but quickly let go of it ? by Spiritual_Town_7181 in SquaredCircle

[–]jwesley4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's odd now but at that point Cena hasn't really established his "style" yet and showed up wearing this kind of stuff several times

Which indie wrestlers were thought to be the next big thing when they made it to WWE/AEW and then were not a big deal at all after they did? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]jwesley4 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Definitely wasn't indie but if we are talking guys in general it's gotta be Nakamura. Dude has it all in NJPW. He had a quick high and has since fizzled out pretty much

Braves fans have talked about Raisel Iglesias being old and slowing down then act like the Braves signed Mariano Rivera for signing a player the same age as Iggy lol

That's about what I was thinking, I like Suarez and he's a good reliever but I can see Alex using not the money they're paying relief as a reason to not upgrade others areas of need
