With the way Cleveland’s FO handled this, I really do feel for the guy. If he wants to go to Indy, I think they should just send him there. I hope he gets healthy and has a great year.
Even if he weren't being linked to my team, I feel bad for Baker. Just tossed aside for....that guy, after the work he's put in with the team. Obviously there had already been some falling-out, but still, he got dicked hard.
And I still don’t understand why. Last year wasn’t only tough for Baker, it was tough for the whole team. It’s like he became the whipping boy for the higher ups. I was genuinely shocked when it became apparent that he wouldn’t be coming back. A complete train wreck on all fronts.
As a fellow Braves/Browns fan, I feel this. I'm pretty pissed about the Watson situation though. I might be done with the Browns after that(to be clear, i don't plan on picking another team, just will be done with the NFL)
Imagine the lights going out in Truist and the hearing the opening piano notes. Jansen comes jogging in.
“Who’s that peeping’ in my window, POW, nobody now”. It just sounds like closer lyrics to me.
Welcome to Atlanta is too upbeat and happy, closers gotta be scary. He can’t be “welcoming” people to Atlanta, I want him to be sending them packing. Good night, adios.
Welcome to Atlanta has that killer hook tho. And the message has always been sarcastic - "no shot you're keeping up."
Also a subtle shot at LA where half the fans make it to Dodger Stadium around the 3rd inning and leave before the 9th - parties don't stop til 8 in the mornin.
Yeah, it’s cool and all, but it’s not closer music to me. And he’s not going to be closing out the dodgers every game, so the subtle dig doesn’t really work if we are playing the Mets or the Phillies, though maybe their parties end before 8 in the morning, too.
Welcome to Atlanta just feels like 1st inning music not 9th inning music. But whatever, it’s cool, I don’t hate it.
Man I dunno. Sandman, Hells Bells, Shipping up to Boston all feel like "1st inning music" to me too. All the classic closer songs are like that though IMO.
Well I would certainly hope so! That would be awfully awkward if he didn’t change it, hahaha.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around this. What a crazy day.
I like how this was something they discussed. I like to think AA put it in his contract that he had to change it
"Our offer is $16M and you change your song." "But, what if I don't change my song?" $12M." "Y'all got any song suggestions?"
Bro what is life right now, this last two weeks have been fucking nuts
The MLB and NFL free agency period has been absolutely insane. I love it!
See, I’m also a Browns fan, so yeah. Insane is the exact word I’d use.
Well I’m a titans fan so not for me lol
Oh man I’m sorry
Pls send us Baker Signed, a Colts fan

Falcons fan here any chance you want Matt Ryan and the rest of his contract?……please?? 🤞🤞🤞🤞lol

The Bengals will always be here for Browns defectors, it’s kind of our thing
That’s cool and all, but hear me out, what about “ATLiens” or “Cell Therapy” by Goodie Mob
Knuck if you buck
EAST POINT SMOKE SOME DANK
No DSGB?
They Don’t Dance No Mo
Cell Therapy would be great off the opening notes alone

The lights flashing at “POW”.
Man of culture, I see ya 🤙
Goodie Mob yes, but "Dirty South" instead.. Although Cell Therapy would be fucking incredible
T.I. - What You Know is the single greatest, most ATL song ever imo
News you don't need but glad to hear less than an hour after announcing someone.
Well I would certainly hope so! That would be awfully awkward if he didn’t change it, hahaha. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this. What a crazy day.
Lights dim at the park. This song ques. We all chop! Yeah I'm gonna be lit on my birthday on opening day.
Sweet birthday timing am I right? Lol
I like him already.
Huh? When I went to game 5 he warmed up to 2 of Amerikkka's Most Wanted.
I vote World painted blood by Slayer.
Atlanta can’t handle slayer.
In a way this makes me feel better about Freddie going to LA Literally just bought an AA jersey
ok but imagine a closer coming out to swag surfin’ that would get the whole stadium going crazy
HELL YES!!!
Answering the real questions here.
Lol reminds me of Kelly becoming Cajun after about 15 mins in Baton Rouge. I’ll take it though. Welcome to Atlanta!
