All Times Eastern

[SJ24]

On move for Sonny Gray?

[SJ24]

Some fella named Kevin Matthews is starting for Gwinnett in about 45 minutes.

Albies and Acuna at the top of the lineup. Ironpig lineup is loaded, too. (Hoskins, Crawford, Kingery; Cozens and Alfaro not in lineup)

And that's the lineup Sims dominated last week. They were all playing that night.

[SJ24]

Albies pops out.

Acuna rockets one past the 3B. He is now batting .304.

[SJ24]

Ronald Acuna with a stolen base. 35th on the season across A+/AA/AAA.

[thethe]

Acuna is developing intonsomeone who can be a lynch pin of an offense. What a year he's had. All the hype this past winter was there for a reason.

[bravesfanMatt]

Oz having a rough go of it today..

[Enscheff]

Oz having a rough go of it today..

Man, is he still even in the Top 100?

[bravesfanMatt]

Man, is he still even in the Top 100?

4 outs in 3 at bats.. I will give him one more AB to keep him in the 90's..

[bravesfanMatt]

ok, the IronPiggies still have the ugliest fans.. but this is the second day in a row I saw this.. end of the sixth, Kids will bring the umps a bottle of water and get to stand and chat with them while the umps drink..Must be a thing and I really like it.

Wentz has made a claim for himself as on of the best pitching prospects in baseball.

are you just trying to goat someone? you can't be serious..

[Enscheff]

are you just trying to goat someone? you can't be serious..

I literally laughed out loud at my desk.

It's like we are all plodding along enjoying our mundane day, and thethe busts in with his random pozzy remark that's exploding with rainbows and glitter haha.

[bravesfanMatt]

I am watching some of the Wentz game instead of working.. (thank god for robot tellers making my day easy)

But I am watching and here are a few thoughts. Wentz is HUGE.. or Yuge.. Tall, well built kid. But he doesn't seem to utilize it much. He crouches and then throws from a 3/4 slot.. Seems like he isn't consistent with delivery yet. His hook is more 11/5 not 12/6, so it misses outside to lefties some.

He is very projectable with his size.. but he is far from the best pitcher in the minors...

[smootness]

Wentz is still a ways off, certainly. But he was basically a 1st round pick who has pitched extremely well all year. You can't ask any more from his results. 'One of the best pitching prospects in baseball' is obviously hyperbole, but his ranking does seem to be lagging behind his pedigree/performance right now. I think he will probably be on top 100 lists if he keeps this up through the rest of this year.

I'm a little confused myself as to why he's still lagging behind a bit. I guess it's based on his velocity, I'm not sure.

[50PoundHead]

are you just trying to goat someone? you can't be serious..

Agree with enscheff on the Acuna/Andruw comparison. Acuna has done extrenely well, but everyone needs to go back and check Andruw's last season in the minors when the rocketed up through the system. Better hitting numbers across the board and then there was the all-world fielding part of the equation as well.

[bravesfanMatt]

Lamb has always killed us when playing Arizona..

That's a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad joke!

LOL really? How high do you think he should be? Top 50? Top 25?
