Kimbrel hitting 100. Did he do that in Atlanta?

Real chance that everyone but Ender gets to 15. Markakis and Swanson are one away and Suzuki is 3 away and on a power binge.
Love that the team is receiving clutch starts by kids starting their first, second, third major-league games, along with clutch relief outings from fresh and hungry young stevedores like Sobotka.
Also love Inciarte’s mic-drop on that homer.

I am really impressed with this team's mental fortitude. They just never give up or give in. After that Boston game, they could've easily gotten derailed. They could've easily gotten swept in Arizona but turned around three games.
Camargo is turning into another young star... not just a solid regular. He's better than Prado... I was wrong about him. It's crazy how he has grown since signing.

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes young players make dramatic improvements after reaching the bigs; Camargo seems like he might be one such aberration. I’m encouraged that his performance this season doesn’t seem to be especially luck-driven, and he’s answered a lot of his initial deficits (power, plate discipline, RH skew) in 2018. It also helps that he’s a plus defender at third.
Not sure, ultimately, what this means for Riley—but it’s a good problem to have.

We will have to take a deep dive into the numbers in the off season, but it appears 3b isn’t a glaring need with Camargo and Riley in the system. That’s good news because the Braves May not have as much cash to spend as we hope, so cheap production at 3b would be huge

I was watching football, I just got Hulu live and love it. Saw the highlights, Ender and Carmago crushed their homers and I like the mic drop as they knew. Carmago doing it both right handed and then left handed, as Neo would say in "the Matrix" Whoa.
One day pitchers will disrespect it. It is coming. Was Duda's crushed as well?
Man, second place since last Friday feels so good....
