Sean May was an absurdly dominant college player. He was the difference in that title game win vs Illinois.

I like strategy and the possibility a game could go till 2AM.
No one liked those 18 inning regular season marathons. They sucked for the players, they sucked for the fans, and they sucked for the TV networks because no one is staying up to watch one of those games on a Tuesday night in May. The ghost runner rule is weird, but I completely understand why it's still there.
At least Truist Park will get to see some offense this season.

Any list of best teams since 2000 that doesn't include 2005 UNC is shite. That team was a wagon.
I think your top two are correct in that order. After that, you could talk me into 2007 Florida, 2005 UNC, or 2018 Villanova and I wouldn't argue.

But watching people on X and Reddit freak out about it - what did you expect with this bit and piece lineup?
I think way too many people assumed they'll hit like it's 2023 again if they're healthy while completely ignoring everything else going on around them.
IMO, the league deadening the baseballs prior to 2024 messed the Braves up a lot more than most teams. The league wanted fewer homers and more action on the bases while AA gave out long term contracts to several guys (Riley, Murphy, and Harris) whose offensive value was almost solely based on hitting the ball hard in the air. Balls that would have barely gone out in 2023 are dying at the warning track now and these guys are mindfricked because of it.
Firing Seitzer and hiring Hyers was an attempt to adjust to the deadened balls but it isn't working because they're trying to fundamentally change who these guys are.
This team seems like they're about to completely fall apart. AA's refusal to add a bat was worse than his refusal to add a starter, IMO. This core needs a major shakeup.

Are you counting Cincy as the win? If so, lol
That team was really good and they proved it in 2021. Probably the best G5 team since the Kellen Moore Boise State teams. Their secondary had 3 current really good NFL starters on it and Daniels put damn near 400 yards on them.

I guess y'all "fire White" folks forget the Felton/Fox/Crean years.
We just had arguably the most embarrassing loss in the history of the NCAA tournament. St Louis, from the A-10 conference, was something like 6-6 in their last 12 games, and they beat us like 1996 Kentucky playing a 16 seed.

Per Braves radio, Riley is 0-11 on breaking balls and is in the 15th percentile in exit velo so far this season.
He’s broken
This has been going on for long enough now that if it is going to get fixed, I don't think it'll happen here.

Riley is LVP. Brutal to watch him swing the bat right now.

Hope Baldwin gets a day off tomorrow. He could use it.

Riley is mentally mindfricked and has been for a long, long time.
I have thought for awhile now that he looks like a guy who needs a change of scenery.

Ronald is at least taking walks and hitting the ball hard some. Riley looks hopeless.

What is it going to take to move Riley down in the lineup? He should be hitting 8th right now
Antoan Richardson needs to donate his first few paychecks to the Braves Foundation. The baserunning has been absolutely awful to start the season.
Yeah. He does MLB and NFL games for Fox and did a few March Madness games this year for Turner, too.
That was a beautiful piece of hitting by Dom Smith

To win championships in college football now, you need to have a QB who can win a shootout. You aren't just going to be able to smother everyone on defense, run the ball, and not turn the ball over. That doesn't cut it anymore.
Stetson's 4th quarter against Ohio State was legendary stuff. That OSU offense played out of their minds that night and had our defense spinning in circles. He had to be damn near perfect to pull off that rally and he was. The ball he threw down the seam to Kearis Jackson is one of the best throws I've ever seen from a Georgia QB.
