Is there a better first name for a World Series pitcher than Framber?

Burleigh Grimes pitched in multiple World Series.

If he steals third here, do we get good tacos?

Last time there was a leadoff homer to begin the WS? Dexter Fowler in 2016. Is that a sign that this will be a great series?

Valdez not locating pitches early. Could be looking at a way-under ?

My fault for taking the over!

I hear Mrs. Phanatic on the "broadcast isn't for us" thing, but can we at least get the OPS listed instead of AVG? That's been known for 20+ years!
Which Atlanta pending FA outfielder would you bring back? Personally was a big Rosario believer going into the season, but with a possible perma-DH next season, maybe Soler is the pick if you only get one?
AvatarAlex Sonty

Soler because dingers and age. Rosario disappeared for a lot of this year. Duvall is pushing the mid-30s.

Hugh Duffy batted .440 one year for the Braves franchise.
The Braves franchise played in Boston from 1876 through 1952 before moving to Milwaukee, and then to Atlanta in 1966. While in Boston, they played as the Red Stockings, Beaneaters, Doves, Rustlers, and — beginning in 1912 — the Braves.

“Atlanta won 88 games in the regular season, but that’s misleading”. So, what, did they actually win a different number of games?
AvatarAlex Sonty
8:22
The Braves Pyth was 94-67 and this was not the roster with which they started the season, so the 88 wins are a bit misleading as to how good they are now.

Was it ever established if George Stallings' deathbed words were apocryphal?

I like how baseball has made it that I'm a long division genius so long as the denominator is precisely 162.

As impressive as the 2021 Braves second half was…The 1914 Boston “Miracle” Braves had a record of 4-18 on May 20 and didn’t reach .500 until August 1. They finished 94-59 and then swept the Philadelphia A’s in the World Series.

94/162? That's .580. 94/161? .580somethingorother?

Re: 88 wins--The Braves team that's playing now has something like the 3rd most wins in the MLB, since it was constructed.

Beaneaters has to be an all-time good nickname

The Braves also had a second half record that extrapolates to a 99-win season, so they got a lot better.

I hope that the World Series MVP hits like I did in 1894.

Do the Astros still wear the tequila sunrise alternates or no?
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:25
They wear them time to time, but I missed the last time they did it.

Is Framber's velo jump just the usual postseason bump?

The word bean was mentioned, Dan is legally obligation to mention chili in some form. Did Chili Davis ever play in a World Series?
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:26
What does "bean" have to do with chili? <ducking>

Remember that terrible baseball movie, Ed? With Joey from friends? Anyway, How would you rate each of their tools and FV?

Dan with the kick to the nuts, smh

heh

I've heard the plot to Ed and I know it was one of Jack Warden's final roles, but I never actually saw it
I'd take OPS over BA, but I'd take seasonal BA over postseason OPS
AvatarDavid Laurila

FWIW: We wouldn't have had baseball tonight had the Red Sox advanced to the Series. Lots of rain and wind here in Boston. Tomorrow may have washed out, as well.
