Atlanta Braves Thread - Francisco Cabrera edition

[Notorious B.E.N]

Have not. I’m not a big Foster fan.

I'm not either really, I just listened for Inky.

Pro tip: Don’t convert operating and accounting systems in a company with 1500+ transactions per day.

Been with two companies that have been acquired and changed/merged systems. Brutal. Years of cleanup.

Tony Gwynn wasn't human.

 

[zjcvols]

Gwynn was an overrated robot then

Gonna be so nice to get back in the tourney

Gwynn was an overrated robot then

The conventional wisdom has leaned so hard into the idea that Gwynn was overrated that he's almost becoming underrated. 20 years, .388 OBP, 132 OPS+, 69 WAR. We all know I sneer at the waiters as much as anyone but he was about a good of one as it's possible to be. (Other than Rickey of course.)

 

[GAVol]

If he's considered overrated, they need to blow up all the advanced stat formulas and start over. That guy was incredible.

Yup. His hand eye coordination was just downright freakish. Truly one of the game’s elites.

Not crazy about doing away with the gray unis.

 

[YankeeVol]

Not crazy about doing away with the gray unis.

Me either.

I do however think it needs to be limited to once a year and not in bowl games.

 

[Vercingetorix]

I hope never to see the greys again.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I hope never to see the greys again.

Shocker

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

I don't mind the greys, don't love em or hate em. I'd much rather see them than the orange pants though.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I’d be interested to know what Nike’s take on the whole thing was. I thought we had to give them a certain amount of creative license in order to sign them on?

 

[GAVol]

Not crazy about doing away with the gray unis.

I always liked them.

 

[Wickman]

I always liked them.

Same

 

[BigOrange15]

I always liked them.

Same. Once a year is good.

I don’t care about the greys, if Pruitt wanted to keep them I’d have no complaints or if we never saw them again I’d feel the same. That said, all orange is absolutely beautiful and your dislike of the orange pants concerns me.

Shocker

It's not because I'm an old man; it's because I'm colorblind and I can't read the numbers or see any of the orange against the grey background. Our players look like they're wearing solid blank grey shirts, pants, and helmets. It's gross.
