    It's almost like AAA started using the same juiced ball they use at the MLB level...

    The Braves didn't acquire an OFer at the deadline, and are now carrying Rafael Ortega on the 25 man roster...

    Yeah, but he's probably about to hit 10 hrs in 10 games.

    True, I am not taking into account the 2019 MLB debut bump all Braves hitters have been getting.

    Pedro Ciriaco would be thriving in this juiced ball era.

    It is currently so easy to hit a HR the value of one is at an all time low since 1930:

    He didn't retire until after the 2017 season, so he'll have to wait until 2023 for his assured first-ballot HoF vote.

    Fire Frogs beat Bradenton 6-0 in the first game of their DH behind Brooks Wilson. 2-run HR for Wilkins. 2-run 2B for Josephina. 2 hits apiece for Lugbauer (edging ever closer to the Melvin Mendoza line) and Logan Brown.
