    At least Heyward was solid defensively.

    Well this is stupid unless you were expecting Trout 2.0.

    He's a 20 year old with excellent speed playing for the first time in a lot of parks. He will improve.

    Don't get me wrong... I think acuna will be a great player. I'm not sure he will ever be a plus defender though

    Hard to be patient after so much hype but I'm sure you're correct.

    I'm 100% against interleague play until they figure out how to make the scheduling fair.

    While this team is better then I thought they would be at this point, I dont expect Philly or Us to be leading the East in August . But we will be contending imo

    Gohara tonight is reason for optimism. We have not been doing so hot lately. We're probably a rain out vs Cubs and crazy comeback Sunday from losing our 3rd straight series tonight. Gotta get going again

    Gohara looked great. Going to be a TOR arm.

    We did the same thing against Pivetta. Blew early chances and then get shut down during the middle innings.

    We're in danger of being shut out 3rd time in last 6 games. The first of those shutouts was our only 1 this season. Little concerned right now

    The funny thing is until Sunday the Braves and Phillies were matching how each other were doing to a T this month...
    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.

    The hype was created and believed by morons.

    Acuna is exactly what intelli-Braves thought he would be at the age of 20.

    Took a perfect release and throw to get Ender. That was as perfect as it could possibly get. Seriously, everything is going the Phillies way tonight. They can do no wrong.
