The word has come in that his injury is a torn ACL. I hate to see him go out like that, but this may be it for him.

Even though im a mets fan, its sad to see him go. If indeed that is it for his career. He is probably the most love/hated opposing player in mets history. But at least he went out making a gangsta ass defensive play.

True that. I'm a huge Braves fan and have been since I can remember. Chipper has been a part of that for nearly as long as I can remember as well. He is my favorite player of all time and always will be. He is the reason I wore number 10, he is the reason I played third base, he is the reason I wore high socks and then stopped, he is the reason Mizuno got my business when it came to baseball gear. They just don't make 'em like him anymore. I'd be surprised to see anybody dedicated enough to one team to make position changes and take pay cuts just to stay there these days.

Chipper is saying now that he doesn't want to end his career with a major injury, and if his rehab allows he wants to try to play next season. I was sure that this was his last year with all the retirement talk mid-season, but he's made it a little more unclear now. I think if the Braves do well in the playoffs and miss the WS he will be back next season. Bobby too, honestly.

I was glad to hear that he's opting for rehab instead of retirement and I've thought from the beginning that Bobby would come back if they get close but don't win the series.

As far as Bobby retiring...I will have to see it to believe it. There was a great article about him in SI a few weeks back. A lot of insight into what makes him tick.

I respect Chipper, but as a Phillies fan it's nice to see the Braves without him.

As a longtime braves fan growing up in the ATL, so much so, that I use to sit under Chief Knock-a-Homa's tent to stay cool. There are very few guys Chipper. I know he's had some issues off the field, but on it he is one of the best. Its kind of nice to see the torch being passed to some new blood like Heyward! But there always be room for Ole' Larry in the braves dugout!

I read in S.I. that he would like to return in the spring for one more year.

I'd love to see Chipper take the field one more time in person before he calls it a career.

I think its funny since chipper was quoted as saying "this isnt a team that is going to blow out a team 10-1" the braves have been droppin the hammer on bitches..lol.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.

      Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.

      A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.

      Vintage PING Hoofer Lite - How to Adjust Straps?

      By Gregsfolly ·

      I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps! I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below. I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design. The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket. Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!
