[nsacpi]

Good to see Valenzuela back in action.

[msstate7]

Blair is terrible

[atl717]

Blair is terrible

I don't see anything from him that excites anyone. Stuff is meh.

[msstate7]

Blair so far...

2.0 ip 5 h 5 er 1 bb. 1 k

[Preacher]

I don't see anything from him that excites anyone. Stuff is meh.

people thought he could be the same pitcher this year as Shelby Miller, they were right........

Seriously though, what in the world has happened to him, he dominated AAA his first stint and scouts almost universally thought he was a very solid MOR type arm.

[50PoundHead]

Neslony sporting a .667 BA after going 2/3 again tonight. I would have held out for $9,000.

[CJ9]

Fried pulled after four innings and 74 pitches?

[50PoundHead]

I spoke too soon. Neslony with another hit and now up to .714.

[Tapate50]

I don't see anything from him that excites anyone. Stuff is meh.

He was throwing zeros up until his mlb call up. Complete 180 since then, I would assume something is off.

[msstate7]

Swanson 2-2

[striker42]

Fried pulled after four innings and 74 pitches?

It was a relief appearance as O'Flaherty pitched an inning to start for a rehab assignment. Wonder if that impacted when he was taken out.

Another excellent line though. 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 Ks. Fried is quickly becoming our best pitching prospect.

I wonder if this is how they could manage his innings the rest of the season since it's his first year off TJ. Maybe he goes fewer innings per start so that he can go deeper into the year.

[msstate7]

Riley 2-4, 2b, 2 rbi

[KB21]

Tanner Murphy has hit another home run tonight. This guy has a wRC+ of 148 over the past month. Slugging over .500 during that span with 5 HR. His contact rate is pitiful, but that guy has some pop to go along with probably the best all around defensive skills of any catcher in the system.

[nsacpi]

I spoke too soon. Neslony with another hit and now up to .714.could be the next Hessman

[msstate7]

Beckham hit a hr tonight

[Hudson2]

I'm diggin Frieds low walk rate and high strikeout totals. He could move super fast through the system. I know it's a good problem to have but a lot of these guys are gonna be knocking on the door around the same time.

Watched almost 20 games of his last year and wasn't impressed with him at all. Wasn't spectacular but I thought he's ok. I could be wrong but he's not it for us. Defensively? Good arm pop but not much else. Just my thoughts. Only saw once this year. Meh.

[CJ9]

Swanson now 3-4, just had a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth.

[msstate7]

Swanson now 3-4, just had a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth.

He seems to be figuring out AA.

[smootness]

He seems to be figuring out AA.

He did have an OPS over .900 after his first 2-3 weeks at AA...but yes, it's definitely good to see him have to correct things after slumping and doing it successfully.

[msstate7]

I wonder if Swanson keeps killing it at AA if he and Albies will be promoted to AAA together. If aybar is traded, could Swanson go to Atlanta from AA?

[bravos4evr]

I doubbt either sniff MLB this year other than the sept callups, if then. we need them starting and getting as much time together as we can.

[50PoundHead]

If Aybar is traded, I wouldn't be surprised if Camargo got a look at SS. He's not the future SS, but he has to go on the 40-man over the winter or be exposed to the Rule 5 (neither Albies nor Swanson have to go on the 40-man). I don't think we see Swanson or Albies until 2017 because of the 40-man issue.
