    I think he can get 40 bombs with the juiced balls, not so sure about the SB's part.

    Is that Brooks Robinson at 3rd?? What a play.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    I think he'll settle around 35/35, which is freaking incredible.

    I give Snit some credit for trying to get Greene and Martin into their comfort zones.

    With Martin by giving him the 8th not the 9th today.

    And giving Greene a low pressure inning last night.

    There is something to a manager who has some insight into the psyches of his player.

    The new guys are probably pressing a bit. Maybe less so with Melancon who has a lot of experience with high pressure situations.

    At his current pace he's on pace for 40 homers and 36 steals. But he's really on been running wild for a month plus. I'd say it's better than a long shot at this point.

    Yeah, by long shot I mean more like ~10-20%. But if he keeps running at the rate he's going he is gonna have a great shot at doing something insane. A 40/40 season at age 21 would be absolutely insane.

    Yes. I'd save Melancon. Give the 9th to Tomlin.

    Donaldson has been everything and then some this year, really hope they can find a way to keep him.

    I think he has a better chance at 40 steals than 40 homeres. But yeah the kid is special.

    Just got home and saw the score. Fried had a very good game! Albies I think has turned into the hitter we all hoped he would. Our top 4 hitters I’d put up against anybody in baseball. Question for the board, if Acuna does go 40/40 does he win MVP?

    11 homers with 48 games is certainly a pace, but he'll be close if healthy.

    But just talking about a possible 40/40 season at 21, he is some kind of good.

    No, i think Bellinger has it all but locked up right now.

    No. Bellinger and Yelich are still in a class of their own. And Bellinger is on the best team in the NL so I'd give him the award as of right now.

    Ozzie has raised his Avg to .296 today on a 4-5 game. Careful, he'll be joining Freddie with a .300 mark.

    Yeah, I don't see 40 steals as a long shot at all. He barely stole any bases at the first of the year. When he started actually trying to run, he's been stealing bases in clumps. I think he gets to the mid 40s
