These Arizona road greys are among the worst baseball uniforms ever created.

Braves 81-0 in Sun Trust Park might be in play

Clutch 8th inning homer by Freddie (his 2nd of the game in a 4-4 day) to tie it,

and DANSBY snaps a 2-28 to walk it off in the 9th

Also, in the April overreaction category: Braun/Thames is the new Braun/Fielder. Thames even looks like Fielder if Fielder got ripped.

At the time the pitcher faces his first batter of the inning:
a. His team leads by no more than two runs, or
b. The score is tied, or
c. The tying run is on base or at bat
No runs (earned or unearned) are charged to the pitcher in the inning and no inherited runners score while the pitcher is in the game; and
The pitcher either:
a. Records three outs (one inning pitched), or
b. Records at least one out, and the number of outs recorded plus the number of inherited runners totals at least three.

There's a lot more in there, I thought I was going to be able to form an initial thought about it but then I saw all the stuff about "broken eggs" and "mehs" which partially answered some initial doubts I had.

I like the gray/teal more than the gray/red, but they're both pretty sweet. Not the same gray jersey everyone else wears.

Are people in Chicago (fans/media) concerned about the Cubs? I wouldn't think so but you never know.

And yeah, put Motter at 1st.

Baseball is my favorite thing

Despite the existence of Emilio Bonifacio

Despite the Braves carrying 3 catchers so that each game they can designate 1 catcher to never use, further depleting their sad sack bench that's already hurt by all the guys they carry in the bullpen

Despite Nick Markakis battling cleanup

Despite RA Dickey and Jaime Garcia being major leaguers

Baseball is my favorite thing

This guy on MLB Network just said "Do I suspect that the Braves will go undefeated at home for the entire season? Probably not."

**** you, *****. You better not be Ripken. I think you aren't but you're all bald and ****.

There are always some idiots ready to panic and build narratives any time they lose a couple in a row, but overall, nah.
