Acuna is a damn monster.
already our best player at 20
They all do under AA, which is why I said this is also attacking the AA regime. It's as if they forgot earlier this season explaining all that in the pre-game showing Markakis hand his card to someone coming out of the game late.
Freeman has the consistent history so I still think Freddie is our best player but it could seriously change after next year
Byrd is ok, so is Glavine, Joe/Chip can go. They're terrible.
Dang, wasted a good opportunity
He even compared it to a batter stepping out to check a card on a pitcher for every count. Like, he doesn’t understand that it’s a lot easier to remember a scouting report on one pitcher as opposed to an entire lineup. Dude has the mental capacity of a toe nail.
Acuna's 283 ISO this season is currently the 2nd highest ever for someone 20 or younger in a season. Mel Ott is 1st and Ted Williams is 3rd.
I haven’t seen anything about the pitchers. But it wouldn’t surprise me.
I thought the catcher if not the dugout called pitches. Why does the pitcher need a cheat sheet?
I wouldn't call it a "cheat sheet" but the pre-game said all the players have them. But I think they're used by the fielders mostly and Joe going on about a pitcher using one on the mound is silly. If anything he would be using it in the dugout.
markakis needs a day off, not doing as much with pitches to hit. These afternoon games after night games coming up will not help our fatigued players.
man this offense is making another bad pitcher look okay.
They have hit the ball hard man. Seriously.

I'd actually say it's more "Kingham is getting laced into gloves" for the most part. The problem outside the top of the order specifically is:
Freeman: Didn't pull the ball and went with the pitch. That in play is in the seats if it was pulled into right.
Markakis: Hit a hard flyball to center (don't think this one goes though).
Albies: It's plainly obvious you're better at hitting down pitches than up period but why swing at ball 2?
Inciarte: Hit a hard lineout 2nd at bat.
And one just right there with Flowers that got reversed in review. Hard hit but found a glove.
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.
"Catcher's Speed" costs us a baserunner.
There ya go. Hitting it hard hasn’t worked.

Julio is our best bunting pitcher since the Glavine-Maddux-Smoltz era.
damn it
