Factor this in to the pitching over the next few days. MLB hates rainouts. They'll make them play.

https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Atlanta+GA?canonicalCityId=508c6a2d4ca8386de1772c4316073b1448fb270ee2d264d01c7b2a4b33073688

There's nothing in that weather forecast that should preclude their playing. Showers tomorrow night, not a deluge. And Saturday night has no rain in it.

EXACTLY the problem for the pitching staffs, josh. NO DELUGE. A deluge would allow a reset for the team's staffs, but those rain delays that are likely would cause more use/overuse of the BPs.

So, when I wrote that you should factor this in to the pitching over the next few days, I thought anyone with a modicum of understanding of what is really going on in this series would get that.

Apparently, you're not someone who knows what is really going on in this series.

Cold is the key.

50s, maybe even 40s all three days

10mph winds as well today and tomorrow

Advantage - BRAVES.  But wont be enough

Good game for the Braves!

And thank the gods that they managed to overcome those rain delays and that vicious wind.

The advantage to the Braves of the weather may not be enough, but better to be up 2-1 than down.

The gods proved you're still a dick.

The weather WAS a factor.

Then again, youve never played baseball, so there's that.

Compared to 2019, the last full 162 game season, the 29 regional sports networks measured by Nielsen saw a drop of -12%. What is concerning for the league is all RSNs saw a drop compared to 2019, except for the Tigers (+40%), Padres (+71%), A

According to a survey by Sports Business Journal, MLB's average fan age is 57, which is far higher than that of the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), and National Hockey League (NHL), whose average ages are 42, 50 and 49 respectively.


Game is in trouble.

Major League Baseball welcomed fans back into the stands in 2021, but attendance was at a generational low.

The league saw 45.3 million fans attend regular-season games in 2021, a 33.9% drop from the 68.5 million in 2019, and the lowest figure since 1984.

Certain caveats apply: Many teams only opened to full capacity by midseason, and the Toronto Blue Jays played at alternate sites until late July due to Canadian travel restrictions.

However, fans also watched fewer games from home.

Haters gonna hate, but they shouldn't be paid to do so by the State of New Jersey.

She needs to go.

Cursing at students, intimidation tactics, grading issues. Anger management issues.

Needs to go. Guess we know why she's still employed.


Tenure.


The people that want to teach kids about America and how racist and oppressed everyone is are the real racists and oppressors, Wallace said.

yeah

Sure

LB would defend Amin.

No, but you would defend Trump. And do.

And Robert E. Lee.

Larry is trying to deflect. If LB was serious about inclusion, he'd condemn the racist remarks of Cooper.

He has not done so.

All hat and no cowboy. As usual.

As always, Forrest is fond of cancel culture, provided he gets to choose who is canceled.

Nope, Kuntzler.

Irresponsible educators diminish the profession.

She's not an educator.

She's forfeited that title.

Needs to go.

Shohei Ohtani, Bryce Harper, Max Scherzer and Robbie Ray highlighted the list of those who claimed Players Choice Awards for the 2021 season. The awards, announced Thursday on ESPN, are presented by the Major League Baseball Players Association and are voted on by the players themselves.

Ohtani and Ray were named Outstanding Player and Outstanding Pitcher, respectively, for the American League, while Harper and Scherzer claimed Outstanding Player and Outstanding Pitcher for the National League, honors similar to the MVP and Cy Young awards that are voted on by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.


I think the MLBPA should vote on Outstanding Baseball Writer of the Year.

Good one. Spot on.

According to the nonpartisan organization GovTrack.us, Sinema is the most conservative Democrat in the Senate and has a voting record rated more conservative than Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins.  During Donald Trumps presidency she voted in agreement with him 50.4% of the time, the third-highest of any Democratic senator. (from wiki)

It could be said that the Senate has a Republican majority.   Not sure thats what many Arizonans voted for,  so I wonder if shes gone in 2024.  OTOH,  maybe a DINO is what most AZ independents really wanted.
I voted for the woman who protested the Gulf War in a pink tutu.

Because her tutu matched yours?

Morton's fractured leg could prove to be THE difference in this series.

Per SI.COM, Kyle Wright or Drew Smiley could be who has to replace him.

Another long start by an NL pitcher.

I hope Morton is okay and can return later in the series.

Stupid comment, Josh. Morton was injured. Valdez has no excuse.
