    Contreras is off limits, I have a man crush on him.

    Guys just in case we want to further improve our offensive depth, Matt Kemp was just released. Any takers?

    Matt Joyce just rolled over in his grave.

    Yeah I thought the Phillies combined WAR at catcher would be less than 1 above the Braves at the end of the year. Which was certainly not worth going above what the Phillies did to get JTR.

    Wow that Soroka stat is incredible. He is 1 of only 2 pitchers in history to give up 1 ER or less in 7 of their first 9 starts.

    I was thinking like around 5 WAR for Philly and around 3-4 WAR for Atl.

    It's crazy, but at this point in the season, we're getting legit 5+ fWAR level of production from 6 of the 8 positions. And Neck is pacing for 3 WAR.

    Ozzie Albies is the youngest player to hit three career grand slams since A-Rod hit three by the age of 20 in 1996, only 4 players in big league history have hit more grand slams before their 23rd birthday. They are Ted Williams, Eddie Mathews, Ken Griffey Jr. and Giancarlo Stanton.

    I still find it interesting that the Braves took Soroka 14 picks after selecting Kolby Allard in the first round of the 2015 draft. Who'd have guessed there'd be such a huge difference in their trajectories just four years later.

    Soroka is probably our best starter, even more so than #MyAce.
