Dang. What happened to the huge matchup we were anticipating?

I don't mean to alarm anybody but Melvin Upton Jr hit his 20th homer today and now has 20/20 season. lol

Sweet Jesus. How does this keep happening? It's the Curse of Reggie Sanders.

To be fair he's a light version of Kemp. Has the power but a sub 300 OBP.

Yeah: Just going to say... we would still hate him here because of that. His power is desirable on another team and we will gripe about him getting good after he leaves Atlanta, but if we still had him he would be considered a negative.

I'm wayyyy happier with Kemp. He's a much scarier player lol

 

[Enscheff]

Funny thing is Melvin would fit nicely on this team next year as a RHed 4th OFer (ignoring his salary). I hope the Braves pick up someone like Rajai Davis to fill that role next season.

 

[thewupk]

Defense didn't help Gant and neither did the walks. K's were nice though.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Kemp has been a really pleasant surprise - at least for me.

 

[thewupk]

great ab by the kid

 

[UNCBlue012]

Yeah, Swanson is everything I hoped to see and more. Kid is going to be damn good

That was impressive. Big-league stuff.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Even though chances are high, Cespedes is my number one target next year. Ramos is a close second.

Dansby reminds me so much of Jeter.

His approach instantly reminded me of Jeets. One can hope.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Dansby man. Dang.

 

[smootness]

Is Dansby our 2nd best hitter?

According to WRC+ he is. All hail advanced statistics.

Any idea what was up with AJ getting all the hugs and them marking the ball? Hopefully retirement?
