    Bauer/Castillo/Gray in a 3-game series would not be very exciting. Probably the one team you'd want to avoid but with our luck, we'll face them. However, agree with wupk, the 5-8 seeds are far from decided.

    Reds finish with 3 in Minnesota so alot left to decide.

    That's true, but having elite SP helps a ton in October even if it's not guaranteed. Although, Braves will probably rely on their bullpen alot.

    Underrated part of this season was how unstressful it was. An elite offense and bullpen really takes the tension out of the viewing experience.

    Serious question. Will Ronald name is son after himself? Thus making him Ronald Acuna II and not Jr? Would the jersey change? Would the current one be more valuable?

    Is Acuña’s son the property of the Atlanta Braves?

    Not that I'm aware of, no. Could be in his contract though.

    For that traditional love that some voters like

    NL Ranks

    Freeman
    AVG: 1st
    RBI: 2nd
    RUNS: 1st

    Ozuna
    RBI: 1st
    HR: 1st
    AVG: 7th

    So a possibility that just occurred to me. Ozuna has an outside shot at the triple crown. I'm going to assume he gets a day off in one of the next 5 games. Assuming he gets 17 ABs (would need no walks) and goes 9-17 he would be hitting .342 which would put him in the range of the where the leaders are. Would be a crazy finish.

    wouldn't that make his son the 3rd?

    He’s probably a 5 or a middle reliever anyway but i wish he was in the minors the last year focusing on a change or something.
    who said he wasn't working on it? i'm sure he was. he just may not be capable.
