Albies is a swing slot away from not flying out anymore and having them drop in front of outfielders.

Albies will be fine as soon as it's figured out the only thing he really needs to do is alter his launch angle a bit. Problem is I'm not sure this organization can do it.
Nothing impressive about only getting 3 K's, all by the pitcher.Quote:

I've honestly seen enough of Sims. Would rather see Fried starting.
The 1st was terrible... throw it out and you have...
5.0 ip 4 h 0 er 1 bb 3 k
It was his 2nd start. Jeez
For a kid making his second MLB start to give up 4 runs with 1 out in the first and finish the next 5 and 2/3 scoreless is an impressive. Sometimes it's OK to get your head out of the statline.Quote:

Is anyone expecting Sims to be impressive?
Some stat people have no concept of context. That's what makes someone like nsacpi one of the best posters on the board.Quote:

So what's impressive about a 4.5 K/9 (all via the pitcher) and a .211 BABIP? Please enlighten us.Quote:

I bet we see Jim Johnson.
The Braves must have had terrible domestic scouts back in the Wren Era.
Sims and Hursh (drafted ahead of Judge Lol) are not what I envision when thinking of 1st-rounders.
Got a feeling you're gonna see Fried just as much as you saw Morris...Quote:

He already told you what he felt was impressive about it. If you disagree, then you are entirely free to do so.Quote:
