This idea that Riley lacks bat speed is a myth that has been perpetuated by Keith Law, and he will not let go of the fact that he is dead wrong about Austin Riley. His actions at 3B are better than most people felt, and he has a rifle for an arm. This is a big time power prospect who has a...

What a waste of a great commentator.

It's batting practice, but his bat speed is insane! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_RLa65-VNo

The bottom line is this. All the data and information on past situations is nice to have to look at, but when it comes to making a decision in the heat of the moment for that moment in time, you have to have a feel for the situation. You have to have a feel for your players. Sometimes, I...

This is what I would do with a tablet in the dug out:

Man I love this game!!! Why does baseball season ever have to end?

The difference is, Peraza was the top prospect in the system when the system was much weaker than it currently is. Ozzie is the cream of a strong crop though. Ozzie completely obliterated AA pitching as a 19 year old.

I am curious to see what Demeritte's future position will be. He's likely blocked at 2B by Ozzie Albies, and 3B has Rio Ruiz ahead of him and Austin Riley just behind him. I'm curious to see if a move to the OF is in the future for him.

IMO, Brian Snitker will not disappoint. There aren't many baseball managers that can come into a situation like Brian inherited and completely change the culture of the team. The way he handles the players and just let's the play, it is very reminiscent of Bobby Cox. Fredi didn't have that...

I don't know. Billy Beane must have some good stuff when you look at the way he runs that team.

Bobby Cox had a series of 1 year deals with the Braves. This was one of their contingent points with Roger McDowell not too long ago. He wanted a long term deal, and the Braves only give their assistants 1 year deals with options.

Interesting. The ALCS is made up of teams run by former John Hart proteges in Mark Shapiro and Chris Antonetti.

Marty Reed will replace McDowell.
