I used to be a huge Braves fan but lately don't have enough time to pay attention to baseball but I stay in Atlanta so you can't help but hear about them.
One question I have is why does Ronald Acuna bat first when he seems to hit so many home runs?
Wouldn't it be better to put some runners on base in front of him and let him drive in some runs?
I'm sure there is an explanation that I haven't considered but it just seems odd.

I listen to the radio broadcast and the announcers have talked about this. The consensus is that he’s so young and started off so effectively it’s just like if it ain’t broke don’t fix it kind of mentality. Baseball superstition perhaps. I actually agree with keeping him where he’s at in the line up. If he’s comfortable leading off then lead off goddamn.

The Giants suck balls but D-Rod is pitching like a mad man. They blew a great start by him last night but whatever. I don't mind losing to the Rockies because fuck the Doyers.

Rockies leading the N.L. West over the Dodgers. Classic. Some Dodger fan was how can you like the Rockies when L.A. is so far superior with it's city and size, team but in such a mocking manner like Denver is some little hick town. Well, glad you finally got some NFL back in your massive city and I was born right outside of it in Whittier. And because I lived in Denver a good part of my life and loved going to the games and following the team. And because L.A. has the payroll of the Sox and Yankees and try to buy championships. 200 million payroll, can they just pay to get a championship without actually winning one on the field?
Fuck the L.A. Dodgers and the Lakers for that matter. The ego's and feelings of superiority. At least Angel fans are alright. This game should be interesting today with Rockies/Dodgers on this Sunday and Braves fan, your team will beat out Phillie, I wouldn't worry to much.
But as far as who will win it all this year, this Red Sox and Astros series that they are playing this weekend and will in the playoffs, I think whoever wins that in the playoffs gets the championship. God those teams are talented. And may the Yanks lose their one game playoff game I hope. Yankee fans are as bad as Dodger fans, just in a shitty East coast entitled way.

Some people are delusional. You couldnt pay me to live in LA, Denver I could fuck with.
Puig represents that team and city perfectly with his bitchy entitled attitude.

I agree the Braves are good but like you said I don’t think they can beat the American League champs. Of course I’m rooting for them but baseball can be so fucking heartbreaking I’m only like 75% invested if that makes sense. I’m preparing for the inevitable lol. Trying to just enjoy a good season.

He’s repulsive. Like baseball’s Ron Artest.

Rockies are 1/2 game back of the Doyers. Giants get the Doyers for the final 3 games with a chance to spoil their season.

Great day to be a baseball fan and hit the bars. Cubs just starting. But then to the Rockies, beat the fucking Dodgers in L.A. and win your first N.L. West title in 25 years of the franchise and its existence. And fuck the Giants, roll over like dogs to them to even have this game when the Rockies could only get 1 out of 3 in San Fran.
God, I am going to be so fucked up by the time the Broncos game rolls around. Enjoy your day people. Been a long season and today is a special day. Lol.
October, what fun!

Is this Russia in the Communist era? Am I forced to work? Can I just be an adult and pay my rent and bills for my apartment without it being your business? Seriously, why would you post that?
Rockies/Cubs. 163 games and today it comes down to this. I have no clue who will win as I don't bet against my favorite team. Lester can be dominant but can also give up a lot of runs early. Freeland, will be interesting how he handles the pressure.
Would love to be on the North Side today to take in the atmosphere. Still amazes me the Brewers beat out the Cubs for the division. But on to the game.

Yesterday was a horrid day for all of Denver fans of sports. It can all change this evening.

Because insulting people is welcomed and encouraged in this forum.
At least the real elax would clap back...

Remember when Brandon Crawford silenced the entire city of Pittsburgh with one swing of the bat?
Pirates fans complained about the wildcard game for a long time after that one.
