Hi, I'm Demetrius. I like sports (especially baseball), I like video games, I like weird stuff. If you like any of that, then we're cool. Please don't be goofy. If you like the Braves, please click below @batterypower.bsky.social BatteryPower.com
The best place to talk Clippergate has been The Feed in the @sbnation.bsky.social app. Come for the jokes, stay for Bucks fans worrying if they’ll get a similar punishment for the Gary Trent Jr. contract. Apple: apps.apple.com/us/app/sb-na... Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d...
First Braves win by more than 2 runs since August 15 and first time they've had two straight games with at least 5 runs scored since their late-July/early-August series against...the Nationals. Hopefully this isn't just "lol nats pitching bad"
it's very funny that adam silver would have moved heaven and earth to let the clippers off the hook and protect the owners by protecting the network of boosters and sponsors that augment every team's payroll, but once steve ballmer made him look bad by manipulating espn it was fuckin' over
Been on the doorstep forever, it seems, but it’s official: 200 rockets for Ronald 🚀
Sarah Langs@slangsonsports.bsky.social · 14h agoFewest career games to reach 200 HR and 200 SB: Ronald Acuña Jr.: 904 Alfonso Soriano: 929 Eric Davis: 1,053 Bobby Bonds: 1,065 Sammy Sosa: 1,094 Barry Bonds: 1,094
I truly need people to understand that not every MLB player is a multi-millionaire there are so many players making prorated league minimum and also labor is still labor. if you argue against labor, you're anti-labor.
@lozenp.bsky.social · 18h agoIt's all gross. Billionaire owners and multi-millionaire players fighting over more money while constantly raising ticket prices, concessions, and making it impossible to watch the teams without spending a small fortune. Screw 'em all.
I don’t want to hear SHIT about a salary cap or “””parity””” when the Dodgers have been garbáge for two months and Arte Moreno sold the worst-run team in the league for $4 billion today
I wonder if my parents have emailed our old season seat rep.
Just won a game on CFB 27 by dropping a coffin corner punt at the one inch line and then getting a walkoff safety because the Heisman-level CPU tried to run a shotgun play from the one-inch line. I have seen it all now
Happening now in TX: Voters in battleground Tarrant County are telling GOP local officials what they think of their plan to cut 30% of voting locations this year “Nothing you can do can stop us from removing you in November”
in 2003, every dude dressed one of two ways: like Ahmad Rashad, or like Yao Ming
every single one of those bouncers got through for them tonight
Braves got a 3-hit game from Ha-Seong Kim and filled their diaper otherwise, absolutely wild
The Braves very much need to figure out a way to bring their bats with them on the road b/c they're playing way too many away games this month to be hitting this poorly outside of Cobb County
oh please let HSK actually play major league caliber baseball the rest of the way
hey friends i’m $150 short on my rent for the month, i thought i was caught up but shit happens. if anyone has a few bucks to spare my venmo is greatestfall and c$ is patronusisotter. thanks for any help.
I wrote an article yesterday about how the Braves have had a team wRC+ of 63 on the road since the All-Star break and now I am very much tempted to make the PS5 beep after they just went down by 3 on the road
A fun thing to do for a good cause even if you’re not a Mets fan. (You can add an “extra” pledge for fun, so as an example, I’m doing $1 per Chris Sale strikeout.)
A Pod of Their Own@apodoftheirown.bsky.social · 2w agoEvery year, our community raises money for the National Domestic Violence Hotline for every Mets home run hit in the month of September. We culminate our campaign with our raffle event, where all proceeds also benefit The Hotline. You can make your pledge here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
New SB Nation app is out today. It’s free and it’s wonderful. I’m helping run the NBA message board, get in there and pop off in the comments + post your own topics. iPhone app link here: apps.apple.com/us/app/sb-na...
For the first time in history, I got an email saying that a price of one of my subscriptions is going down. Thanks PFF 🙃
Arte Moreno being out of the league is huge. Not that a new owner will be a good guy or whatever but we've got an awful lot of evidence piled up that says Moreno's meddling vs. doesn't know what he's doing ratio is way off
this is very simple and applies to them all
Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 2d agoFor me, the biggest takeaway from Sophie Cunningham’s hard launch into the right-wing culture wars is how *lucrative* bigotry is now. There’s an entire conservative media ecosystem that will turn anyone willing to make transphobia their personal brand into a well-compensated star.
So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.
I thought it was fantastic by Excalibur that he just shut up once the kickout happened. Basically sold it like he saw a ghost
