    Saying he just looks at lot more comfortable at the plate since his two week stint in the minors is the ultimate "Captain Obvious."

    Kemp made a pretty nice play in LF especially when you consider that he's carrying that piano on his back.

    Albies can fly. He's gonna make someone a great 2b... we'll get a pitcher though

    The Yankees are going to love having a 27 year old Albies at 2b when he becomes a FA.

    Dansby's defensive upside may be higher than I originally thought.

    Dansby is going to make some team super happy when they sign him as a FA after his age 28 season.

    Hell of a play by Dansby there, for sure. If they trade Albies after the way he hitting lately, the FO might find themselves without any supporters whatsoever.

    He's been making great defensive plays all year, not sure why his boneheaded plays (of which he has obviously made many this year) would make you think he wouldn't have upside.

    Newk hit 96 on his FB. For those of you who have watched him more than I, how much of an outlier is that?

    Has Newk thrown a single change tonight?

    He touches 96 on the TV fun a couple times every game. Probably closer to 95 for real though.

    Averages right around 93.

    Don't recall having seen one either on TV or labeled as such on GameDay.

    It may not have been a good idea to call him up money wise (which the Braves don't care about, which y'all can debate if it's good or not they don't), but the performance that Albies has put up at 20 in the major leagues is very credible, especially before roster expansion. Only the really good can do it at this young.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
