Why don't players wear brown sleeves and shoes for colon cancer awareness day?

They all get a colonoscopy

FRENCHY IS STILL IN MLB?!?!

I got him to laugh at something I said at him when I sat behind the plate at the K a few years ago.

What did you say?

before his first at bat I just said "hey frenchy! you're gonna have a goooooooood day today!" in a teasing kind of way. he actually had a really big hit that game so it was based

>frenchy

That's a weird thing to say

Also looks like it's just you and me today
>and a rogue plastic bag

Holy shit
WHY IS THERE NO YELLOW LINE?

damn I thought that was gone

>yellow line across entire outfield wall
That would be ugly

WEB GEM

wow what a play

>gordo memeham

>miss on first pitch
>try again to make it obvious
What are you doing barves?

>franceour
I remember watching him get struck out in HS ball

Holy shit there is a super fat fuck sitting behind home plate today

>that white dad with his wife's black son
The memes have gone too far

That's clearly a black family

Hahaha nice catch faggot

I ain't talkin bout the family behind home plate

Braves might have something cooking here

Are you the only barves fan?

>3 posters
Wut

I think there's a couple..

>gaybar making a play

I think the only other barves fan died when he fell off the upper deck last year

Ryan needs to stop talking about soccer

i just home but it's not like i'm in some sort of rush to watch this shitpile of a lineup hit soft grounder after soft grounder

eddie is gonna go the distance lads

Volquez is on pace for a Maddux

Where did it all go wrong for the braves?

the dan thuggla and blowjob upton contracts basically forced the braves to rebuild they just decided to start it a year or two earlier while they had good assets to trade.

Were the uggla and Upton deals seen as obvious bad deals at the time or did it just end up being bad luck?

The uggla deal was seen as the braves giving him an extra year that he probably wouldn't be any good in but the first 4 years of production would be worth it so people were generally ok with it. It's just unfortunate that he completely crapped out a year or two earlier than anticipated. The upton was more split because there were some red flags. You could see him either being a very good player or a meh one that wouldn't be worth the contract. No one saw it turning into the ridiculous shitshow it did though.

Slow game thread damn. I hopped on during a break wanting to see some Bantz or meme magic but nah. It's dead as shit

It's just a shitty game between two shitty teams

Barves might be shit but the Royals just hit a slump. This series should help break them out of it.

beating this god awful barves team by only a few runs is basically a loss roylels gotta step it up and at least make it a respectable beat down

see? that's more like it

The royals bats might be slumping but the pitching is cancer and will prevent anything positive from happening this year

>Rex's daughter graduated from KU
Fuck if only I knew he had a daughter at ku I would've tried to get on that

the braves have one(1) julio teheran for purchase he will only take your farm except for raul mondesi jr. he's always been a meme prospect.

real talk whoever gets teheran is gonna be pissed because he's extremely finicky when it comes to things like temperature and humidity. if it's not steaming humid summer day he's much more likely to pitch an absolute turd.

They are working on it this inning. 2 on with 1 out? They already have 3 runs this inning.

But we want to get rid of roid tard mondesi. Pls take him

>Soria
Oh no

Gg barves see you tommorow

Ok see you two dudes later
