I don't know about that. Their 2020 payroll is only $72 million and change, as I recall, and the wealth of their ownership group is largely in liquid assets (no pun intended, as Fowler owns a beer distributor), as opposed to being tied up in hedge funds and investments, and they aren't leveraged up to the gills like a lot of other ownership groups, such as the Ricketts family or Guggenheim Partners. They also have something like $30 million in payroll coming off the books after this season.
Speaking of the Spankees, this is one of mine. I need to work on the P a little.
I can't quite like this post because of what you said about the Braves!
Also, Machado has terrible sportsmanship, so screw that guy.
The Dodgers and Braves are boring? What exactly are you expecting from a baseball team?
The Padres like to have fun. They do not like to see other teams have fun apparently.
The Braves are going to the NLCS for the first tine in 19 years!! 
Explain.
Unwritten rules horseshit. As much as I love Machado, he's a huge bitch about that stuff in particular.
I guess I have just had a hard time getting excited about anything in this fake season. We have a team that went 29-31 going to the ALCS, for Christ's sake, and the Dodgers have won the NL West for, what, eight seasons in a row? As for the Braves, I love the shit out of Acuna, but I otherwise can't bring myself to muster up any actual energy or care about them.
So what actually happened?
Brusdar throwing his glove and hat was one of the most absurdly hilarious things I have ever seen in baseball. I was laughing until I had tears and Machado losing his mind just made it more hilarious.
Yeah, Machado's always been a whiny bitch about showboating, despite being the king of bat flips (or at least in the royal court) dating back to his days as an Oriole. It's a very odd contradiction.
There is a sick part of me dying for an Astros and Dodgers World Series even though I’m a Braves fan.
I thought the Braves would be a quick out in the post season with their extremely young starting pitching but here we are four shutouts in five games later. The rotation is going to have stretch now in a seven game set and I think this might be where it ends.

You monster.
Looking through stats, I think the bigger issue is going to be their bullpen, which just looks exhausted.
Fixed that for you.
The guys calling the Braves game today were all laughing at Brusdar. They thought it was great, especially Adam Wainwright.
Machado needs to grow up and/or chill.
Fuck that shit!
That doesn't excuse his behavior.Wake me up when you rock a career 121 OPS+.
