    Albies is hitting waaaaay too many fly balls in the early portion of his MLB career.

    Why do you rest Inciarte when you're playing in a big ballpark?

    Why does that matter? Isn't this the age of the Josh Donaldson flyball or nothing mindset?

    Someone needs to learn a little more about the fly ball revolution if they think Albies should be hitting 50% fly balls.

    Was not expecting BP to be remotely serviceable at 3B. Glad he's proving me wrong.

    As I've always said, Swanson is going to be a star.

    Ok, I've never said that. But nice job, Lieutenant Dans.

    The ball does jump off Dansby's bat. He's hit a lot of line drives since he came back.

    Average launch angle 19°. More than Freeman. More than everybody.

    If Lucroy hadn't helped him out, that could've been a long inning.

    And yeah, he's getting squeezed. Bigly.
