    Once Soroka qualifies for stat leaders he will start getting more buzz. Right now the lazy media aren’t watching him because he isn’t on their radar.

    Maddox didn’t have this kind of success near this early. I know...I know...but if this kid can stay healthy...my, oh my. Watching him is like watching Greg, where hitters just look lost. He looks like he’s just playing catch half of the time. He’s doing this at 21. What will he do to hitters at 24. They need to lock him up this summer if he stays healthy. His arb years will be thru the roof.

    You're really reaching here, to prove to be right. How many hitters, square up 95 that isnt center cut, not very many. Good hitters take advantage of the mistakes. I love Ender but i dont see you cant play Riley close to everyday going forward.

    Braves were sandbagging the entire LA series. Lull the Dodgers into a false sense of confidence so we can sweep em in the playoffs.

    I wouldn't be in a rush to lock him up this early after the shoulder issues.

    The shoulder history actually creates the conditions for the Braves to get a discount in exchange for taking on risk. The front office doesn't have to make the decision tomorrow, but it is something to think about during the off-season.

    MLB as a whole struggles with 95+ mph fastballs. It's why teams value 95+ mph fastballs.

    I'd be curious to see some work on whether the best hitters fare better with velocity than MLB as a whole (and whether it's in line with their excellence versus other pitching), but I'm not sure it really is a knock.

    I think the proper downer move right now is to talk about small sample size and second time through the league with Riley.

    and within that small sample we find

    a .438 BABIP

    a 31.3 K rate

    a 3.1 BB rate

    and an ISO of .433

    If there is no recurrence this season, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It was muscular rather than structural.

    57% HR/FB.

    Did not realize the K rate had crept up that high. It's about what one might have predicted for MLB based on his MiLB track record. I'm not sure I'm a believer. I suspect the power is legit, but not THIS legit.

    Riley's gonna be a stud. All you have been predicted he would fail can keep holding on to hope... you're wrong though

    Albies is down to 670 as left handed vs. 900 as a righty. Almost identical to last-year. Not sure what more advanced stats say, but at what point do we consider experimenting with some righty on righty? He really can't be much worse than he is left-handed so only downside is giving up potential that he improves as a lefty.

    Not anytime in the near future as he's finally trying something else again. If it were to happen at all before an offseason, it won't be for at least close to two months (whenever the all star break is). As the big adjustment with Acuna was then.
    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.

    Not sure those numbers are particularly shocking for players getting their first taste of the majors. Eloy's first 10 days? Rodgers'? Hiura's?
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
