Wonder why they're keeping gameplay under wraps. Only two months out from release.

ideally it's because.

Step 1: keep gameplay under wraps and get people to buy the ps3/psv version in april.
Step 2: show off gameplay after ps3/psv release and blow everyone away to get them to double dip on the ps4 version

 

[newjeruse]

I'll go with: because the framerate it bad.

That means it's just like last year!

 

[Silkworm]

So, uhm, should I start getting really worried about how anemic the bats have been by the Dodgers in the pre-season so far... :-\ Or maybe they're just waiting for the regular season? I hope so...

I get that but we still haven't seen much other than some shots. Makes me worried.

I wouldn't get too hung up over spring training. Everyone looks terrible.

Went to Peoria today. Braun got no boos. Lots of cheers. Nightengale am cry

Cool, thanks for the reassuring words. I'll step away from ledge for now ;-) At least Either looks good in spring training and hopefully that carries over to the regular season.

Naw. I wait until the dust settles as far as the new consoles go. I'm not feeling the new Xbox OS and the NSA kinect add on. I'm also pissed that Sony decided to tie MP to PS+.

You can unplug the kinect if it bothers you, and the OS on the XB1 is great because everything is laid out in titles you dont have to scroll through a list of 30 things to find the thing you want. You also can pin what you want. I actually liked the way the XB1 is laid out even better then the way that the 360 was. I think people just didnt like that it was different at launch, but once you mess around with it for a bit you see that it is much quicker to find the things you want.

Who's Braun?

 

[eznark]

Bryce Harper's hook up.

 

[CygnusXS]

Bryce is going to be mediocre this year and then next year we're going to hear about how he was "too big."

 

[eznark]

I get why he would want to juice. That wall fucked him up last year and he played terrified for months after. This year he is going to run right through that motherfucker.

The season really IS over this time.

#Braves Beachy now faces possibility of needing a 2nd Tommy John surgery, too. Will find out more Monday.

Beachy now suspected of having major ligament damage. Atlanta has gone from a 90-win team to lucky to finish .500 in literally a week, and both Beachy and Medlen's careers stand a good chance of being over. This is amazing.

 

[Sanjuro]

Have the Braves contacted Derek Lowe?

This sucks, but come on. Still a wildcard favorite.

Moyer is available.

Are you joking? Middle of the pack offense, starting pitching now squarely in the bottom half of the league screams .500

WOW. Isn't Fister's arm fucked too? NL East man. Fartolo might tear a ligament reaching for a XXL Taco from Taco Bell.

Looking at Harper in that .gif and seeing him all roided out now, he really looks like a different person.

 

[CygnusXS]

That gif brings me joy like nothing else.

 

[eznark]

Seriously. I am never not amazed by it.

 

[Talon]

Closest to a Looney Toons run-into-the-wall we'll ever get.

Time to trade all those Braves contracts.

I laugh at that wall gif everytime.

Middlebrooks is better!

How many rings does Harper have!?

Will Middlebrooks > Ted Williams

 

[McNei1y]

That's not how to show off his success. Rather count the times he loses his helmet when he runs the bases, run into walls in the outfield, breaks bats in the batters box, argues calls with the umpires, and blows kisses to opposing pitchers. That's how you measure Bryce HarpGod success.

 

[BFIB]

That's a clown question, bro.

 

[Sanjuro]

Will Middlebrooks > Ted Williams

Pretty much. One has a World Series ring, the other is frozen.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The Braves virtually had nothing from Beachy all year last year. He only made 5 starts, so he wasn't even a piece of last year's success. But yeah, this season is already starting ominously. I think calling the Braves a .500 team now because two pitchers are gone though is going way overboard. Let's not forget Medlen was a bit mediocre for the first half of last year too. He was going to get kicked to the bullpen until Hudson got injured. The rest of the division aside from the Nationals blows, so as long as the Braves take care of their own division, they should be alright.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Time for BJ Upton and Uggla to carry the Braves to a .500 record.

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm honestly most troubled by how these injuries affect the 2015 rotation. It'll be Teheran, Minor, Wood, and then ??

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So right now we're looking at Julio Teheran, Mike Minor (when he comes back from dickhole surgery), Ervin Santana, Freddy Garcia, and David Hale.

Alright.

[Mr. Enigma]

Alex Wood

There seems to be some discussion about whether or not he'll start in the bullpen to limit his innings. Kind of like Medlen in 2012.

[Purple Cheeto]

Subtracting Medlen and adding Santana barely moved them down. Losing Beachy hurts but I agree with you, they're still a clear WC candidate.

The fans are too distracted by Hank: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/26668332/v31519717/hank-the-dog-makes-the-team

Looking at them side by side:

The bulk increase is pretty massive. That's quite the transformation.
