    Face guard, elbow guard, hand guard, shin guard.

    Acuna is armored better than some tanks

    I think I messed up at first saying "Super twins activate" One of the older posters corrected me.
    Yeah- no doubt-

    You are correct saying super twin. I already trade marked wonder twin on this board and you would owe me 100 bucks each foul.

    It's less of a problem than it was, but Acuna against away and premium velocity (Eovaldi wasn't a good matchup for him) still isn't all that great. What brought out the best in him was the swing change helping him not have to worry about the away pitch outside of 2 strike counts. I think what's going on here is very simple, the umpire calling borderline away and up pitches got firmly locked into his head.

    It's a very small sample size, but because those pitches are being called, bad habits he had before the break are creeping back in...
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    They are both Georgia natives too, I wonder if they may be distant cousins and not know it.

    another walk and I bet any amount a money it will score. We are the Braves, we walk people they have an 80% rate of scoring.

    God, I hate losing to the Red Sox. I hate all the AL contenders except Oakland. I wish there were a way all of them could lose

    Newk is still less than 50% strikes today. Soxs only need to be patient to knock our troubled pitcher out.

    Braves should run away from Newcomb as fast as possible this offseason. The second his stuff declines he's going to be trash.
