    I’m commenting on what Riley currently is, and what type of production that likely will result.

    He’s young and can improve, and I’ve detailed exactly what he needs to improve. I certainly hope he improves in those areas, just like all Braves fans do.

    great analysis from our broadcast crew. they wish hitters hit the ball harder off DK to make it easier on the infielders

    Is it a Paul Byrd booth day?

    I actually really like Paul as the roaming reporter. But he’s a really rough color commentator.

    I find it too hard to hate on Byrd because I like him so much in his normal role. I’ll probably kindly ignore any mental errors he makes in the booth.

    It’s really early, but I think I would take him over every player in baseball to start a team (not named Trout).

    He has the tools to be plus plus at SS, elite speed, 40 HR power potential, and still only 20.

    You’re probably right that I’m off base here. I’m just a sucker for huge athletic SS that can hit.

    Dansby’s GF mentioned his sleeping habits.

    I hope this doesn’t mean that Dansby has had pre-marital sex.
