[Enscheff]

Harris destroying a pitch off a LHP is amazing to see.

Braves may lose tonight. But that team slg and hr count are going up

Only things that matters rest of season

40/70 for Ronald
Matt HR team record
Braves beating Twins homerun record

 

[Hulavol]

My future MVP.

 

[mfree80]

Riley stinking up the joint tonight.

Silver slugger at 1B is a good debate this year.

Have to give it to the guy with the most homers IMO

 

[WaitingFor2017]

I was just looking up modern day RBI and had forgotten that Manny Ramirez knocked in 165 runs in 1999. Wow.

In terms of current day players, Miguel Cabrera got 139 RBI in 2012, so Olson has a chance to top that. Once Miggy retires, then it's Nolan Arenado at 134 RBI in a season.

Wright giving up 6 put us in a hole early.

a loss would suck, but it’s worth it to see him seemingly healthy. He wasn’t incredibly but flashed some great stuff. Let’s hope Atlanta can find a way to win this one

Harris destroying a pitch off a LHP is amazing to see.

Harris vs Lefties this year with a .295 BA. .765 OPS and a 106 wRC+

Will take that all day with his slow start

 

[chop2chip]

It’s not hard to imagine Harris going 30/30 and lead CF in OOA. If he did that, he could be a 8 WAR player.

 

[msstate7]

Hell of a job by Stephens

 

[USMA76]

Hope Arcia isn't getting the yips--his last couple of throws to first have been????

 

[zbhargrove]

Well done Jackson

 

[UNCBlue012]

Jackson looked solid

 

[chop2chip]

Jackson auditioning for McHugh’s roster spot

 

[zbhargrove]

I forgot... is Pierce under control for more than this year? I'd like to keep him in the pen

 

[mfree80]

Tough day at the plate for Murphy.

 

[msstate7]

We just let Luke Williams hit. Why not ozuna?

 

[Hudson2]

Jackson auditioning for McHugh’s roster spot

I was fixing to say the same thing. McHugh is done.

 

[drewdat]

Letting the batboy hit

 

[jsebe10]

Tough day at the plate for Murphy.

10 for his last 52...it's been a tough 15 games or so
