    I wonder if it’s occurred to anyone that Cabrera would’ve been a nice deadline pickup to strengthen the bench and shore up the left side of the infield. Someone like him or Solarte.

    Philly may have a slightly easier schedule, but not by much. They play the Nats 9 times, Cubs 3 and Red Sox twice. Here's the comparison:

    Atlanta

    ARI - 4
    BOS - 3
    CHC - 1
    COL - 4
    MIA - 7
    MIL - 3
    NYM - 3
    PHI - 7
    PIT - 6
    SF - 3
    STL - 3
    TB - 2
    WAS - 6


    Philadelphia

    ARI - 3
    ATL - 7
    BOS - 2
    CHC - 3
    COL - 4
    MIA - 6
    NYM - 10
    SD - 3
    TOR - 3
    WAS - 9

    10 vs the Mets, 6 vs the Marlins, and 3 vs the padres, probably give them the edge.

    Our easiest is Mets, Marlins, other than that, every series is a challenge.

    August isn't that bad, if you feel decent going against the Nationals. The Braves might not be able to beat Milwaukee, but games against Pittsburgh/Colorado, if the Braves can't beat them, there's major trouble lurking anyway in that 10 game Red Sox series-final west coast trip stretch.

    That's how I feel.

    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.

    The 10 games the Phillies have against the Mets could be brutal. The Mets starting pitching is legit. If the Mets get something going on offense they could be the spoiler team in the East. Hopefully the Phillies will see Degrom 3 or 4 times in the 10 games.
    I’m glad the Braves don’t have but 3 more games against the Mets.

    I think I might have seen that mentioned once or twice around here.

If it hit the MM it would had to have hit the top of the line coming back off the ricochet.
    It did. Watch the 0:52 second mark of this link. http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/...sset_2500K.mp4

    It hit the bottom of the blue railing above the M&M sign, took a straight line down, and hit the orange lining of the wall. With the right camera angle for the video it was indisputably a home run.

    Unfortunately Fox Sports South didn't show that camera angle, which is why Joe and Chip were initially against hte call in real time during the challenge. I went back to watch the replay on DVR after Minter put the next baserunner on, so maybe they did show that angle from SNY.

    Brewers pitching matchups are Gaus/Peralta, Julio/Miley, and Newk/Anderson.

    They did own us in Mil, but thats a tough park to pitch in.

    Also, FWIW, the Braves right now would get the 2nd wild card spot

    Still have more games to makeup though compared to those other teams we're ahead of. So it puts pressure on us to build a bigger cushion for that playoff spot we currently occupy, with the amount of consecutive games and double headers we're about to play in the next few weeks. It means taht the makeup games we owe have to be won if we're going to barely be ahead right now.

    nscapi mentions Solarte a lot, but AA might have lost interest in him over his .177, .217, .257 line over his last 30 games. He started great but even with that his OPS is worse vs righties and only .670 (that is so bad even hard to sit Swanson for him). Maybe he will bounce back with a change of teams, but he is really struggling at the plate now after his fine start this year.

    Arizona is tied with the Giants 2-2, if Arizona wins they move back ahead of us. If the Giants win we go a half up on them. Hopefully Giants win as Arizona jumped ahead of us Saturday.

    Scratch that, I forgot about the Dodgers. So yea we'll have that second wild card spot by half a game either way. However, I wouldn't focus on the Dodgers as we won't finish ahead of them. If Arizona takes that division that likely means both teams finished ahead of us IMO.

    I wanna say Arizona actually leads for the division? (barely)

    Edit: Yes they do, and the Braves somehow lead Los Angeles for the 2nd WC, I think through percentage points.

    I dunno. If AA were trying to predict how Solarte (or any other player for that matter) is going to do over the last two months of 2018 and was given a choice of

    A) his performance in the last 30 games

    B) his performance in the first half

    C) his performance over the past 1,500 ABs

    he would choose C
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    Maybe, depending on what Toronto was asking in a trade and if he believes Solarte can bring more than our other options (excluding RF of course, even Teheran might outhit him). But Solarte's struggles certainly couldn't have helped his trade value.

    Giants take a 3-2 lead over Arizona in the 8th. Arizona still has two more innings though.

    Speaking of lefty bats, anyone think Adam Lind might have something left? I saw he opted out of his minor league deal recently with Boston.

    And he would not be referencing his OPS when making that decision.

    His analysis over the last 30 days may show signs of an injury though, so I’m positive he’s well aware of the numbers over that time frame.

    also the batted ball data would be looked at...and even there i wouldn't give much weight to one month of data...LD% is higher in the second half but BABIP is lower by 60 points...happens with small samples
