    Acuna two-run homer. He's 3-5 with a HBP and will finish a double short of the cycle. Hopefully this gets him going.

    Carmargo 2-3 again. He now has an OPS of 1.167.

    What is his deal, he is playing great. He is known for his defense. He has 1 of ATL's 2 pinch hits this year. Is he a real prospect or why isn't he on Atlanta bench?

    And Alex Jackson follows with a homer two batters later. What a night for the Fire Frogs.

    A. Jackson with his 7th HR. Watching him, what is wrong with him? Is it just the Catcher DH thing that keeps people for actually going nuts over this guy?

    I think people here are certainly excited. But it's probably smart to stay guarded about it considering he has 18 Ks and 2 BBs. No question he has exceeded expectations so far though.

    right.. but I was saying he could have been a lot worse. He got behind a lot of hitters. Rio made a great diving catch that saved a run.. another liner that turned into a double play.. another liner that Ozzie stabbed. Yes he was effective and had a good stat line... but the meat and potato of the game was just ok, imo.. 90+ pitches to get through 5 innings.

    not sure if it was you, but comparing him to Folty with development is probably spot on. he just seems to mentally fall apart.. but when he puts it together, he is incredible..

    Minor league catching right now:
    AA - Kabe Scivicque - 282/356
    A+ - Jackson - 338 w/7HR, Morales .287/.344
    A - Tanner Murphy - .281/.405 + Hebert + cumberland

    Maybe catching has a chance in the future?

    Wow I didn't realize that. They are trying to teach him first base, and he didn't play there in college. Wonder if that's the problem. I'd like them to just give him his natural corner OF spot and move Davidson to first or the bench.

    Herbert has been so much better this year. I listened to his game today and he nailed a guy at second and kept every ball in front of him.. Can see why he is known for defense.

    Ah...I see. Was just looking at the line and didn't watch the game.

    Yes, it was me with the Folty comp. I think they should bring him up at the trade deadline and just learn.

    DANG. What a game! I'm thrilled Acuna and Jackson look so good. Riley has picked himself up a bit since his horrid start, as well.

    I'm more encouraged about Fried's start than anything. Dude killed it yesterday.

    Fried has picked up right where he left off... as our hottest pitcher most likely. He had the one game he tried to play through spasms and that's the low light of his season.

    Absolutely. I've vocally supported Fried and think he at the least will be a good 3/4 pitcher. If he can stay healthy, the sky is the limit.

    As frustrating as this season has been, I'm really confident in the arms we have coming down the pipe. Our contention plan may be pushed back further than expected, but I think we have legit talent coming our way.

    Love Fried. Only thing that worries me is his mechanics remind me of Venters.

    That is my concern as well. hopefully we can get a few great years from him and then trade him off as the younger crop starts to press the rotation.

    You have to be impressed with the AA rotation. That is usually the hardest jump A+ to AA and we have several guys who went from A to AA and early returns have been outstanding. Then you have the Rome entire pitching staff that is just dominate right now. Plus GoHard in A+ doing well.. Sims has looked good. Wisler/Blair/Newk all seem to have moments.. plus your pure stuff guys like Touki and Sanchez.. The MLB team has been depressing, but I have enjoyed the early start for our top prospects and beyond..
