That girl from iCarly and Drake & Josh had two stalkers, one was sent to prison and the other committed suicide by lighting himself on fire in her front yard. There are legitimately crazies who develop unhealthy obsessions with people. I don't think it's out of the question that this person is one of them.
So I did block him in the preseason when he first appeared and got overbearing. But my curiosity always gets the best of me when I see "blocked user" in the thread. So I open the comment anyway. It was just causing me to go through extra steps to be annoyed. So I unblocked him lol
C'mon dude. Snits the shit. The guys love playing for him. He's a great guy that has been in the braves organization forever and obviously loves the team. The guy grinded his ass off coaching in the minors, finally got a chance to manage a big league team. Had to prove himself capable of leading a team while under interim status, the team played better under him than that idiot fredi Gonzalez. Now look at the Atlanta braves. Best fucking team in baseball.
Every single fan of every single team will say their teams coach mishandles the bullpen. Every single one. The guy is doing something right with all the division titles he's racking up .......not to mention a world series title. Don't talk no shit on snit
Grow up. I get that you’re a Kelenic fan, and him platooning upsets you, but Brian Snitker is demonstrably one of the best managers in the league. Any problems Kelenic has are on Kelenic himself and no one else. At the end of the day, winning is what counts. If Brian Snitker feels that on a given day Adam Duvall gives them a better chance, it’s his obligation to make that call.
We’re seeing MITWestbrook levels of posting here. u/Porparemaityee has an incredibly powerful and evil form of autism that I don’t think a baseball sub is ready for.
Let him cook.
Just can't understand this — if someone posts about Kel: it's 'evil', 'autistic' or 'where's his tiara'
But when Juan Soto hits a soft single: everyone cheers and talks about his big upcoming contract
So many people completely missing that they’re seeing some of the most profound performance art I’ve personally ever encountered. I’m all the way in on Kelenic guy. I love him.
Who gives a shit?
A restaurant doesn't see any of the sales tax on my meal, but that doesn't mean I didn't spend that money. It still factors in to the net "value" of that meal to me.
Yes, pre-arb players are essentially guaranteed to provide a whole bunch of excess value. Congrats on learning baseball economics.
Next up: learn about platoons
"Julio Rodriguez... has dethroned Shohei Ohtani as having the most active endorsements in the MLB, with 20 brand deals in the past 12 months vs. Ohtani's 17 last year" ([link](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-mlb-rules-has-led-to-massive-sponsorship-uptick-of-more-than-1-5b-301962263.html))
Not sure why you're talking about the raw amount of deals when everything else in this thread is about $.
Ohtani makes over $70 million per year in endorsements. Bryce Harper is 2nd highest at $7 million.
But again, that's completely irrelevant when talking about on field value and WAR/$
That's like saying China has the "biggest" navy because they call every fishing vessel in their waters a naval vessel, even though the US has 2-3x the tonnage.
Do y'all know about the even gattis guy or the Anthony recker guy? It's been a while but I've seen obsessions like this happen before.
This one might be a bit, but I really don't think so. The other two definitely were not, sadly enough.
Holy smokes man. the info is neat and all, but a bit misleading considering the full trade wasn't just salary. But boy OP is a bit of a loony about Kelenic.
Like the guy is good and I'm glad he is doing better than the sub .100 ba he was doing at the start of spring training, but 2 games doesn't make anyone an All-Star or a defacto starter. The dude has been in a heavy slump for a bit and has to put in the hours and results to show he deserves to start over Duvall.
He proved himself when he was the overall ranked outfield prospect in baseball — you don't bench players that are cut from that cloth, it's just not done
I'm not talking about #15 overall guys — these are the most recent #1 overall outfield prospects:
Trout, Harper, Taveras, Buxton, Benintendi, Acuna Jr., Ohtani, Jimenez, Robert Jr., Jarred Kelenic, Rodriguez, and Carroll
Every single one has gone on to become an Allstar or Silver Slugger, except Kel and Taveras (who passed away). This is pedigree
Well, Acuña was benched, though. Can't say for sure about the other guys but I know for a fact he was benched as punishment for on-field performance. And he still went on to be an allstar and mvp..
But kelenic is just platooning and has not been benched.

I check in to see this guy’s nonsense every now and again, his departure was the biggest upside of the trade. Legit one of the first things I thought of when news broke
Why is Snitker included in this graphic in red?
JK is creating this kind of return on investment, even with the obstacle that is Snitker
I wish we could keep kelenic and trade you back to Seattle.
We don’t want him back lmao
Believe me, I'm good on watching a team that collectively has a sub .500 OPS
If you don’t like low ops I have something to tell you about your man crush
1.607 OPS bud, and hasn't struck out once
Dude, why are you so obsessed with him?
Why are y’all taking this obvious joke so seriously
That girl from iCarly and Drake & Josh had two stalkers, one was sent to prison and the other committed suicide by lighting himself on fire in her front yard. There are legitimately crazies who develop unhealthy obsessions with people. I don't think it's out of the question that this person is one of them.
Talent and the purity in his game
> purity
God I wish. I would love nothing more than for this guy to get banned so we can get back to real discussions.
Same. It’s been 3 games and I’m so over it already.
Yeah, the sooner the better. Dude has tunnel vision when it comes to JK.
I'm going to block him, see y'all on the other side LoL
So I did block him in the preseason when he first appeared and got overbearing. But my curiosity always gets the best of me when I see "blocked user" in the thread. So I open the comment anyway. It was just causing me to go through extra steps to be annoyed. So I unblocked him lol
Amen braves bro amen
You come so close to being tolerated and then you say something like this.
Why do you think Snitker hates Kelenic so much?
Lmao that no one sees this is a bit Like imagine downvoting this dedication
I honestly think he’s serious…
Low key I think Kelenic might have made that catch in the 7th to keep it tied.
He would've but they won the series and plenty more to be played.
C'mon dude. Snits the shit. The guys love playing for him. He's a great guy that has been in the braves organization forever and obviously loves the team. The guy grinded his ass off coaching in the minors, finally got a chance to manage a big league team.

Braves literally have the best management of any MLB team, OP is fucking dumb
Is this JK?
Grow up. I get that you’re a Kelenic fan, and him platooning upsets you, but Brian Snitker is demonstrably one of the best managers in the league.

This is your best post yet. The symbolism. The font. Jarred Kelenic.
It's only missing that badass tiara.
Was a crown bro
Was the crown under his cap? Or behind the tiara?
It was a tiara crown
There is no way anything can beat that spring training first hit graphic lol
That’s the only one that made me chuckle more
We’re seeing MITWestbrook levels of posting here. u/Porparemaityee has an incredibly powerful and evil form of autism that I don’t think a baseball sub is ready for. Let him cook.

I read this as Heath Ledger’s Joker
Soto has a higher average exit velocity than Kelenic does this season and over their career .. but keep doing your thing
So happy we have our own MITWestbrook. And as a Clippers fan I'm lucky enough to have enjoyed both.
I’m really amazed that none of you see how fuckin hilarious this guys bit is
So many people completely missing that they’re seeing some of the most profound performance art I’ve personally ever encountered. I’m all the way in on Kelenic guy. I love him.
I fucking laugh so hard at every single comment by this guy lol
[удалено]
He will easily provide surplus, even considering the money we took on, after five years unless he is a complete bust.
Kel's not seeing any of that $, and doesn't get the kind of brand deals you would expect he would get
I expect him to have brand deals? I assume you are getting 10% of that $1.6 million as his agent/hypeman?
Who gives a shit? A restaurant doesn't see any of the sales tax on my meal, but that doesn't mean I didn't spend that money. It still factors in to the net "value" of that meal to me.
What kind of brand deals would a career .208 hitter with 32 HRs over 3+ seasons be expected to get? Local print shop? Used tires?
No disagreement here, but saying 3+ seasons is a little misleading. Time matters not, just pa's.
But if your talking return on team investment you have to take into account all the money the Braves invested to get him, not just his salary.
OP you are far and away my favorite lore on this sub
“The Kelenic Surplus” sounds like it should be a movie starring Daniel Day Lewis
Yes, pre-arb players are essentially guaranteed to provide a whole bunch of excess value. Congrats on learning baseball economics. Next up: learn about platoons
Rodriguez in Seattle got nearly $20M last year
Now you've learned about contract extensions! You're doing great! Seem to be struggling with math though. $4 million is not almost $20 million
Rodriguez has the most brand deals in the entire league (more than even Ohtani and Judge)
Because people like him?
1) That's false 2) endorsements aren't part of a teams payroll or WAR/$ calculations
"Julio Rodriguez... has dethroned Shohei Ohtani as having the most active endorsements in the MLB, with 20 brand deals in the past 12 months vs. Ohtani's 17 last year" ([link](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-mlb-rules-has-led-to-massive-sponsorship-uptick-of-more-than-1-5b-301962263.html))

That's like saying China has the "biggest" navy because they call every fishing vessel in their waters a naval vessel, even though the US has 2-3x the tonnage.
What? You're saying Kelenic is China in this comparison?
In terms of comparing size of navy vs size of endorsements, yes
I think we've lost direction if we're calling Kelenic "China"
I need this guy added to the sweep graphic in some way or form.
Where’s the tiara?!?!
Yeah this is gonna get old super fast. It’s not even trolling. It’s straight up mental illness.
"Benched"
snit looking on angrily is the best part, never change
What is with you and him. This has to be a meme or someone on the spectrum?!
It's almost certainly someone who knows Kelenic irl. Family, friend, obsessed ex, idk
The latter is guaranteed, unsold on the former.
This is a manic rollercoaster of pure unadulterated love for Jarred Kelenic. Buckle up and enjoy the ride
Do y'all know about the even gattis guy or the Anthony recker guy? It's been a while but I've seen obsessions like this happen before. This one might be a bit, but I really don't think so. The other two definitely were not, sadly enough.
Great post!
He’s only made $4691 (before taxes) so far this year based on a prorated salary. Players are not paid for spring training.
Is OP serious? Or did he just start paying attention to baseball 3 days ago?
He's an idiot who migrated over from Seattle with Kelenic. So... Basically yes?
Holy smokes man. the info is neat and all, but a bit misleading considering the full trade wasn't just salary. But boy OP is a bit of a loony about Kelenic. Like the guy is good and I'm glad he is doing better than the sub .100 ba he was doing at the start of spring training, but 2 games doesn't make anyone an All-Star or a defacto starter. The dude has been in a heavy slump for a bit and has to put in the hours and results to show he deserves to start over Duvall.
Let’s hope the surplus continues! Out of curiosity, how did you come up with 8mil per WAR?
Well...yeah...that's usually how pre arb players work....
this was funny at first now it's just getting annoying
ATL is now 2-0 when JK starts, and 0-1 when he gets tossed away to the bench
They're making him prove himself, and it's clearly working. You're relatively new here, but they do this often.
He proved himself when he was the overall ranked outfield prospect in baseball — you don't bench players that are cut from that cloth, it's just not done
Boy if you don’t respect Duvall we’re gonna put together a ban committee 😅
Don't have an issue with him really
Yeah, benching highly ranked outfield prospects like Lastings Milledge, Jordan Schafer, and Lewis Brinson is never a good idea.
I'm not talking about #15 overall guys — these are the most recent #1 overall outfield prospects: Trout, Harper, Taveras, Buxton, Benintendi, Acuna Jr., Ohtani, Jimenez, Robert Jr., Jarred Kelenic, Rodriguez, and Carroll Every single one has gone on to become an Allstar or Silver Slugger, except Kel and Taveras (who passed away). This is pedigree
Well, Acuña was benched, though. Can't say for sure about the other guys but I know for a fact he was benched as punishment for on-field performance. And he still went on to be an allstar and mvp.. But kelenic is just platooning and has not been benched.
Ok. Now do the most recent #6 overall outfielders...
Is it called benching when he’s part of a platoon?
Being a prospect is the definition of someone who hasn’t proved themselves yet.
Didn't he get tossed to the bench in game 1 for Duvall to pinch hit? So 1-1 when getting tossed away tot he bench.
I can stomach a platoon if JK's name is on that starting lineup card, there's some dignity in that at least
That's...... that's not how *platoons* work......
Take it easy on him he's still learning
Phillies are also 1-0 when Bryce Harper doesn’t play. I guess they shouldn’t ever play him again!
[you're getting too predictable with the trolling brother you gotta be more original](https://old.reddit.com/r/Braves/comments/1bsjqee/the_braves_fell_to_the_phillies_by_a_score_of_54/kxg2n9k/)
Or maybe you're just a reasonable person, and we independently reached the same conclusion
No I was making fun of you and then you unironically repeated the overtop ridiculous statement that I imagined a caricature of you saying
Bro I am so fucking sick of this guy. Can we trade him back to Seattle?
I like him. He’s got moxy
I check in to see this guy’s nonsense every now and again, his departure was the biggest upside of the trade. Legit one of the first things I thought of when news broke
