    This could always be a jumping off point for him. If that happens along with Kemp coming back then things could get fun real quick!

    Take it for what its worth but over the last 102 games the Braves are 3 games over 500. This team is not getting any worse. It will only improve from here on forward.

    Once the park factor gets out on this place I see that WRC+ getting hit pretty good. Not that Freeman would continue hitting at that same pace or anything. As someone said earlier in the thread I feel this place is going to be Fulton County Stadium 2.0 as far as the homeruns are concerned. They built the Ted around our HOF pitches but this one seems to have Freeman in mind.

    Yeah - but not sure if you saw my post earlier, but Freeman ranks 3rd in MLB since the all-start break last year... not much sun trust influence there

    Yeah he's been on it since the ASB. Slightly inflated due to BABIP but not as much as you would think. He has taken his line drive ability and has slighted elevated his swing. He's still hitting the ball hard and now instead of doubles they are going out of the park. Of course this has caused him to strike out a little more often but his power has more than made up for it. He's got the perfect balance right now.

    Yep. Plus it is playing better than Arizona did for Inciarte too. Inciarte is also loving this park much better than Turner. Of course Inciarte isn't even a power hitter so that is telling.

    I take full credit for this.

    Bravos are 3-0 when I attend. Catapulted this winning streak. Also we have a winning streak because we aren't using alt uniforms at home. Now the team just needs to remember both our road wins came with the classic road grey uniforms not the trash navy.

    Lets be patient here. Inciarte's 1st - 2 HR game came in MIA. It is not all Sun Trust, but I like this series results.

    That's a cool fact. I really hope Dansby runs out to be great for us. Hum wearing #7 worries me for some reason.
