Nick Allen (.617) has a higher OPS than Ozzie Albies (.616) or Michael Harris II (.607). This is about as suboptimal as suboptimal gets for the Braves.

If Memorial Day is the traditional measuring stick, I have a hard time believing that the Braves, as currently constructed, are a good team that just hasn't hit its stride (as is the common narrative). The evidence has been there for 13 months. They're very, very mediocre.

I’ve heard ex-MLB players (usually broadcasters) say that some guys just don’t like hitting in pressure situations because it makes them nervous or causes them to try too hard to make something happen. I’ve never heard anyone name names, but I think about this a lot.

I always liked Clausen’s original music for “The Simpsons” in all its various styles, as well as the various imitations he’d do of other scores for comedic effect. His music contributed greatly to my enjoyment of the show.

Freddie Freeman is almost certainly headed to the Hall of Fame. But the speed at which he's gone from potentially fringe candidate to near-lock has been remarkable. And it all boils down to this: He's only gotten better with age. My latest: mlb.com/news/freddie-f…

If Braves fans need a pick-me-up, here's three-plus hours of the team's walk-off wins from 1984 to 2024. There's some classic Superstation stuff in here. youtube.com/watch?v=adrnur…
