    I can see him going on some kind of tear if he matches the exit velo with a good launch angle for a stretch.

    It’s just a matter of time with Acuna. The exit velocity is there. The plate discipline is good for a player his age. The K rate is manageable.

    It’s all there.

    Even with swing tweaking to get to his power, it still seems like it's not 100% where it should be, given that his line drive rate is so low.
    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.

    Last two days we've seen too many ground balls from Nick. I hope this isn't the start of his regression.

    Feels like we should be down four runs with all the leadoff trouble. And in same breathe up four runs with the runners we have left.

    I feel like we pretty consistently play well. I’m more or less really happy with the team.

    I am impressed by this Almora kid on the Cubs. I hope he doesn't break the team here.

    Camargo's bat has been a real let down so far this season.
