THURSDAY MINORS FINAL 7/27 Fried, Anderson have strong comebacks

[msstate7]

Fried and Anderson pulled early. Precautionary?

[SJ24]

I want to see Kevin produce a bit more before I start driving the Maitanmobile.

Anderson is hurt. Remember someone on twitter said that three starts ago.

[Pugfan]

Anderson is hurt. Remember someone on twitter said that three starts ago.

If he's hurt I don't think they would be stupid enough to have him pitch. I just think he's reaching his innings limit. Probably 100-110 innings for a 175lb North East pitcher.

Can't put him on the DL... gotta make sure we can promote him to AAA next week

Whoosh.. I was joking.. Anderson and Fried are fine.. Just getting mid season breaks to control innings.

[bravesfanMatt]

Ozzie with a blast down 3rd base line for a hustle double.. maybe should have been fielded... Acuna followed with an oppo blast off the wall to score Ozzie..

[Garmel]

Acuna with a double that breaks a tie in the top of the 10th.

[Pugfan]

Lol, hard to tell if someone is joking online. Btw, he pitched 3 great innings again. Love his strikeout totals

[bravesfanMatt]

yeah.. just assume I am always being a smartass...

He has since that bad 1.1 inning where everyone thought he hurt himself.

But MLB pipeline gave him a 50fv power rating.

Is it wrong that I get giddy thinking about a lineup with albies/acuna?

Nope. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah plenty of time to push him. Will be interesting to see if they place him in AA next year. He's been every bit as good as sorkoa/allard. For that matter they might do the same with wentz

[thethe]

Nope. Nothing wrong with that.

For all the fanfare acuna gets (well deserved) Albies has killed it at AAA once he had some time to recover.

[Pugfan]

And they were born in 1997. The year the late great Eric Gregg umped one of the finest games of all time. Game 5 of the NLCS.

[Garmel]

For all the fanfare acuna gets (well deserved) Albies has killed it at AAA once he had some time to recover.

Yep. His ability to hit RHP improved so much this year too.

[thethe]

Yep. His ability to hit RHP improved so much this year too.

Yup...and that power increase this year has all types of tantalizing possibilities. 2018 may be the most fun year since heywards rookie season.

[SJ24]

Is it wrong that I get giddy thinking about a lineup with albies/acuna?

No.

I think Albies is a 5ish WAR player in his prime.

Acuña is a 7/8ish WAR guy with double digit upside.

[Enscheff]

If Acuna doesn't produce a few 10 win seasons by age 25 he will be a huge disappointment.
