    I see that Ortega has 21 homers in AAA this year. Like steroids, this juiced ball will affect players like that the most

    So Riley, Duvall, and now Ortega. These AAA outfielders we keep calling up do some damage after they arrive.Who's next?

    Also, only one of them is an outfielder.

    Nice to see that the per game attendance in this series was over 40K. Who says Braves fans are indifferent?

    Of course, as Cy mentioned several times last night, I guess a lot of those seats have been occupied by people wearing Dodger colors.

    I call it the Jeff McNeil model. Look for guys with a good hit tool with a low strikeout rate. With the new ball they have a chance to be 15-20 homer guys. Rafael Ortega has a chance to be a late bloomer of sorts. Like McNeil.

    I look at someone like Prado who would excel in this environment in his prime.

    Definitely something to look into to try and exploit while the league keeps using it.
