Sometimes I wonder if Ronald even cares about baseball

 

[thewupk]

lol @ Taylor

 

[thewupk]

is 7 runs in 6 innings good?

lol @ Taylor

Brutal day for him on the grass.

He's fine but got saved by Hech or that run scores.

1.68 FIP and 13 k's per 9. Not sure how he does it, but he's a beast.

I enjoy Swanson

If Acuna hits another homer this game that would have to be a record having 3 guys hitting 3 homers in a game in 3 straight games.

2 straight games was already a record.

slow reaction times for sure

2 straight games was already a record.

But three straight games would've also been two records.

SSS - but what happened to Robles?

-6 DRS

 

[cajunrevenge]

How's that now?

It made more sense before this game but his batting average seemed to be trending to .270/.360/.525 level while losing the stolen bases.

Melancon is up, in a 6 run game...

I do think the scenarios are different enough, between Donaldson and Ozuna—thanks to age / injury history / emergent NL DH near-certainty—that four years for Ozuna should be given more seriously thought than it was with Donaldson (though obviously three, maybe with an option, is still preferable).

6 years 150 million is probably the starting point.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Minter is a different pitcher this year! Even better than 2018

You can’t be serious.

 

[Heyward]

Good win.

Used Greene, O'Day, Minter.

So after Ynoa, Snit has Matzek, Smith, Jackson, Martin, and MM. Wiegel and Dayton too but doubt they throw unless it gets outta hand.

 

[Heyward]

6 years 150 million is probably the starting point.

Teams are alot more smart in years than past times. Dont think Ozuna gets 6 years.

Andruw is a perennially underrated player by most fans—even Braves fans—and should be in the Hall of Fame. Nevertheless, I don't really see many similarities in Acuña's batting approach and Andruw's.
