Tough loss for Braves last night, 11-2 Dodgers.

Glasnow mowed Braves down and Muncy hit 3 home runs .

On a good note for Braves fans Acuna went 3 for 4 at the plate last night, could be coming out of hitting slump.

Braves have advantage on pitching mound today.
Max Fried vs James Paxton.

You are pretty cool for a Dodger fan, knox lol

I was definitely not at all insinuating that lol. I didn't even suggest that. I just don't agree with you that steroids wouldn't have helped him be that dominant. If he were on steroids and nobody else was, he would have been dominant. To say otherwise is a really strange statement.

I do not at all believe that secretariat was juicing and I didn't suggest that all. But to stay steroids wouldn't have helped made him dominant anyway didn't seem quite right.

Some of you baffle me! I’ve only been an equine vet for 23 years, and you are still trying to tell me that I don’t know what I’m talking about. Dude, I’ve worked on racehorses and had many of them on the most potent anabolic steroids (back when it was legal). The horses were better, but it did not make them dominant. They weren’t destroying fields by 31 lengths. Like I have said over and over, if anabolic steroids were even available during Secretariat’s years and his connections used them, then every other horse in those fields of the Triple Crown were on them, which levels the playing field. He was dominant because he was and is the GOAT.

I want the stuff that makes a mini horse win the ky derby. .

Fill the horses feed bag full of Cocaine and watch the horse run.

Visited Secretariat's grave at Claiborne Farms in Lexington a few years ago. Don't follow horse racing, but this was a magnificent creature.

Epogen (synthetic erythropoietin) was way more performance enhancing for racehorses than anabolic steroids. By having more red blood cells and thus more oxygen being carried to tissues, horses wouldn’t fatigue. Thankfully, all of that stuff is no longer in the industry. Terrible for the horse’s health and the industry. Adding to that thought about their health, I’ve seen horses come off anabolic steroids (that have been on them for quite a while) and crash. Not pretty and they are never the same.

You would be amazed at what has been tried. That is definitely one of them.

Yeah he was. Interesting tidbit ( I’m pretty sure it was him)…none of his offspring amounted to much of anything. Only 2…1988 Preakness and Belmont winner, and the 1986 Horse of the year. I think that was it. The GOAT racehorse, but he definitely not the GOAT stallion.

If you love horses, Lexington is a beautiful place to visit (minus the fact that UK is there). We visited there back in 2021 and stayed at a nice guest house on one of the farms. We would just drive around the looking at all the beautiful farms. I could live there, if I didn’t have to deal with those UK people.

Secretariat was greatest race horse of all time, although Seattle Slew also won Triple Crown in The 70's.

Also a descendant of Seattle Slew has won Triple Crown a few years ago.

What does it do to a man?

Really though, kinda curious if it work's the same on an athlete. Must be like sending a nuke into body, health-wise.

I try to never say anything positive about the gators.
Watching game 3 in the series and I will say that the gator announcers are decent. Definitely not over the top homers. Seem knowledgeable about baseball and the SEC.
With that being said, it’s nice to see the Vols just absolutely whooping that gator arse.

Hard to be a homer when you are getting HAMMERED.

I had to turn them off today when the started the broadcast with their diatribe about ”IF the Gators when today, they will be blah blah blah”. Yesterday was insufferable.

Kinda like that 5'9" kid that shouldn't even be in a boxing ring, but somehow beats Mike Tyson?

When our aggressive hitters are willing to dial it back and go opposite field on outside pitches, good things happen. Ensley ignited it with two pull swings down the LF line. The UF pitchers saw that he was a weaker hitter statistically and did not respect his ability to turn on the fastballs. He made them pay. But even he went opposite field on his HR (along with C-Mo and Blake) because they pitched on the outside half. The other guys hit opposite field starting about half way through the game as well.

That's all you need to do to pull out these mini-slumps. We have some absolute mashers who can take it out to all fields. They just need to stay disciplined and be willing to go the other way.

good post. as the game went on you saw them fighting into long counts, being selective, hunting a fastball to hit. that is damn impressive. BB is one of the best hitters to ever wear the orange. there i said it. despite my melting during the game, felt pretty good that if we kept battling against the lefty, he would start to make mistakes, or get yanked.

Wasnt sure but figured maybe theyd spent all their best relievers on Friday.

CMo had a freakin' series.

No, that stuff he told me about in the post I quoted. . .

Agreed. And the place to dine IMO is Malone's.

Never said I was going. . . just that it's a good morning to, if you know of a secret pond with prehistoric monsters who haven't seen a fisherman since 1963. . . by the time I talk myself into it, it'll be too late.

Yup. Freak of nature - period. GOAT.

As always, thanks for your take on the subject.

The runner should have the “right of way” if that’s what you want to call it. As long as the runner doesn’t make some unusual movement to initiate the contact, it’s dumb. Just like the call in the softball game against Bama last weekend. You can’t reward a bad throw, and that’s what it is in the base path. There is a scenario where the runner literally has no choice.

It's kinda like pass interference getting called on a bad throw down the sideline because the WR goes back to get the ball and runs into the defender. Bad throw by the QB looking for a back-shoulder ball gets rewarded and good positioning by the DB gets punished.
