    Now what happens??

    From MLBTR today

    The Braves are hopeful that outfielder Ender Inciarte will be ready for activation early next week, manager Brian Snitker tells reporters including MLB.com’s Mark Bowman. Inciarte is working to recover from a hamstring strain.

    When the injury initially occurred one month ago, it was estimated at a four to six week recovery timeframe. Inciarte is already hitting and running, so it seems he’s at the early end of the spectrum.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Ender should probably play CF for 1 game in KC, then DH the other. After the day off, he should be in CF for 2 of the 3 games in NY. That should give him ~15 PAs to knock the rust off before the playoffs. Is that enough time?

    There are no stats that can be gathered and reviewed by us after ~15 PAs to tell if he's "back", so that decision will be completely up to the eye test.

    but if say his sprint is back to somewhat normal levels, even on only a few samples, is that not somewhat indicative?

    Yeah- if his sprint speed is back to normal that’ll be all we need to know - and hopefully he is red scorching hot with the bat .... sure as heck is gonna be well rested - and we know how hot he can get after ASB- maybe we can catch Mark Lemke lightening in a bottle ...

    That can be judged based on running drills outside of game activity.

    When Ender came back from the DL earlier this year he got 49 PAs over 13 MiLB games where he was awful, and was then pretty crappy for another few games at the MLB level before he got going. Perfectly reasonable given the need to work back into form, but it was still 50 PAs of suck.

    The Braves don't have time to give him 50 PAs before the NLDS, and if he sucks like he did during his previous MiLB rehab stint he has no place on the roster. I have no idea how to judge Ender's offense based on 15 September PAs against teams out of playoff contention, especially when Markakis and Joyce are both playing well.

    Also big time props to Craig Counsel.

    Brews are fighting ever since Yelich went down and still are at a -26 run differential.

    Should be an interesting last week in the NL wild card race. It's nigh on impossible, but I would chortle till the cows come home if the Cubs and Nats didn't make it.

    Who is slowing down? He has pitched well for his age/experience. Lots to build on.

    Wish we had him in the system still.

    Last 2 starts are bad, no? He will be a top 50 prospect soon.

    Look at you embracing sample size:

    One of those two starts just happens to be against by far the best offense in the league....deatils

    Speaking of small sample sizes I think we all know whats going to happen to his numbers when that HR rate stabilizes.
