GDT 4/23- The Legend of JR Ritchie (and Harris= George and Weezy)

Albies may not have become the hitter that some wanted him to be. But it's hard to be upset about the player he's been for the Braves.

That’s my issue with Albies. He has/had a grade 70 hit tool, and everyone thought he’d be some slap hitting infielder. Then he developed grade 50 power as a LHH and grade 60+ power as a RHH. Then he just refused to develop anything resembling a professional approach at the plate, so it feels like he wasted those tools.

Albies should be very similar to Jose Ramirez. The fact he’s not is the cause of my bitterness towards him.
 
Best record in baseball…. Is kinda’ solid.

JR Ritchie is kinda’ solid too.

May as well go win another series against the unclean this weekend.
 
It's April 23 and the Mets are 8.5 back from us and the Phil's are 9.5 back.

The only other team in the NL East with a positive run differential is the Fish with a +2.

Our run differential is +62.

We are outscoring our next closet competitor by 60 runs.

This is insane.
 
The Fish, the only other team with a positive run differential in the NL East, are at +2. Over 162 games at that rate they're looking at a +13.

We're on pace for a +386 run differential.

This won't keep up. Last year the highest run differential was +172. We're not going to double last year's best run differential. But it should show just how hot our start has been.
