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.

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!

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      On my trip at Bandon. I have a couple of best shots come to mind. I had kind of a stupidly good short game shot out of some nasty stuff. I didn't really make any bombs putting.  I could say any drive I hit straight that was hitting directly into the wind, lol. That was nasty. I literally hit a ball like 150 yards right. I am going with my drive on hole 18 at Old MacDonald. 469 yard par 4, down wind. The narrowest fairway on the course, and you have to navigate two sets of bunkers. I stripe one down the middle, catch the slope and have to roll out to about 95 yards to the pin. So yea, that 370-ish drive in the fairway on a 469 par 4 wins the shot of the week.

      Day 2: mirror work while watching some TV. Checking on some backswing stuff primarily - making sure I’m still steep enough in the backswing.

      Day 88 (28 Jul 25) - Short session this afternoon after a full day of yard work at the house.  Worked on setup and tempo thru the shot with the 52° wedge in the backyard.  Hit about 20 balls total - just staying focused on the process.

      Day 10: More putting with the metronome. Short putts feel really slow and long putts feel really fast. Getting more comfortable every day.

      Day 301 - 2025-07-28 Watched a lot of golf today at Fox Chapel, but then came home and did some mirror work. Re-dedicated. Which is saying something, as I've been playing okay. But relying on my athleticism to just do "okay."
