rico Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 The Braves are the "poster child" for that old cliche. Just get into the play-offs and then anything can happen. They are also the reason I don't gamble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Griffey Jr set to join Mariners Ownership Group. I've never understood who actually owns the Mariners anymore....so many groups and people over the years including some Indy residents. Anyway cool for Griffey Jr. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I have to wonder how baseball will get the younger generation to watch the games. The game is already at 3 hours and 20 minutes and just starting the 8th inning. With them starting games at 8:15 and games taking so long, kids don't get a chance to watch playoff games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Tues. night, the varsity baseball coach invited everyone to watch the first game outside on the baseball field. My grandson went and had a good time, although he wasn't able to stay for the whole game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, just got home but I heard the two guys on the Pacers post game ripping the game of baseball. It is a joke that in a 1-0 game in the 8th inning there has been 9;pitchers used. Braves had a no hitter through 7 and they have used 4 pitchers. This game is already at 3 hours and 15 minutes in the 8th in a 1-0 game. Baseball will keep losing more and more fans with how th game is played and how much down time there is in the game. I remember Tom Browning's perfect game which was also 1-0 took off nder two hours to play. In 91 game 7 which was a 10 inning game and 1-0 only had 3 pitchers used.

Seeking6 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Atlanta Braves winning it all would be so on point for our country. On one hand they beat an organization that has the biggest asterisk next to it's name in sports history....otoh MLB's commissioner yanked the All Star game from Atlanta....only to have their fans doing their tomahawk chop chant all game long while thousands of the blue checkmark brigade on twitter say how racist they are. This series is so America in 2021. Haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Really happy for Jorge Soler. I loved him early on in Cubs career and was ticked we had to deal him. All things worked out I guess. We got our ring....and with one more win tonight Jorge will get another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan base is actually ok...most of them acknowledge the cheating, and when we go to games everyone is there for the fun...last time we went when the Cubs were in town and won, everybody was fist bumping me and my wife and saying "good game." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
