Looking forward to Alex’s radio interview in 2029 saying he almost acquired deGrom at the deadline after almost acquiring five other starters

Figure out a plan B. This is insanity

[Mark Bowman @mlbbowman]

The Braves had the Profar money and more prospect capital than they've had as a contender in long time. They've had an obvious need to bolster the rotation since November. Thought for sure this was the year they would make a big splash. But instead, they've left plenty of room to second guess.

They could have been in a place where Schwellenbach coming back and being useful in September was a nice bonus. Now it essentially needs to happen.

WE OUTRIGHT CONCEDED A GAME THIS WEEK BECAUSE ONLY ONE STARTER CAN MAKE IT PAST FIVE INNINGS

[Ben @brnt2470]

Braves added a platoon RH bat to replace a slightly worse platoon RH bat

A backend SP to replace a slightly worse backend SP

And a LHP reliever to replace essentially an equal LHP reliever.

How is this good enough?

[Some guy. @CapitolAvenue]

The last 3 transaction cycles for AA have been abject failures. This is an incredibly competitive position, just being OK or even good isn't good enough. You have to be the right guy. Very unconvinced AA is the right guy atm.

[Scott Coleman @scottcoleman55]

Just completely and totally inexcusable. I can't defend this guy anymore. A failure of a deadline

[Stephen Tolbert @b_outliers]

Dodgers added Skubal

Brewers added May

Cubs added Gausman and Holmes

Padres added Mize and Ray

Braves decided Sale and a bunch 4th and 5th starters was enough

[Stephen Tolbert @b_outliers]

If he has to play I would honestly bat Riley 9th

@b_outliers Hasn’t Jarvis kinda earned a spot on the bench at the very least?

Wild stuff.

WOW. Further reporting that the ICE officer who shot a man in Maine had serious mental health issues and a lengthy record of domestic violence.

This comes after ICE slashed hiring standards and started putting some people on the force before their background checks even cleared.

Looks like the only thing coming home this weekend is Odysseus, King of Ithica

I know consultants tell Dems to only talk about affordability but it seems like you ought to be able to get voters to care about elementary schools being bombed & people being shot in the streets as Trump pardons thieves, drug dealers & violent criminals while grifting billions.

[Stephen Tolbert @b_outliers]

Basically every Schwarber HR has been shown on this super tight camera angle of just his face

How do you have camera angles in a HR derby that don’t include the bat hitting the ball?

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Never in the history of the American Republic has a sitting president put his name & face on government buildings, property, military weapons & instruments. It’s what kings & autocrats do - no US president ever has until now, enabled by Republican toadies, sycophants & cultists.

things are about to get very, very, very bad.
