I've been advocating for the removal of divisions all together for a long time now. Play every NL opponent 10 times and 22 inter-league games. 5 best teams make the playoffs

I like that. Even if they move to 154 games, play every NL team 10 times and then have 14 interleague games (since it won't go away). They say it's about travel, but Texas and Houston would probably be more refreshed and save money if they played AL Central teams more than having to travel to Seattle and Oakland 3 times a year.

Atlanta is closer to Cincinnati and St. Louis than any of their NL East "Rivals".

Because he may well be a better hitter than pitcher.

I agree that I think he will end up being the clear #1 by draft day next year.

This guy is mid to upper 90s off the mound with above average secondary stuff, but he might just be the best prep bat in the draft as well.

MLB Pipeline podcast said he will most likely be drafted to be a pitcher. They said it would be very surprising if that wasn't the case.

After the first round, Hunter Greene leads the players in the HR derby with Jordon Adell 2nd.
 
Hunter Greene finished 2nd in the HR derby at the UAAA game.

Then he went on the mound and sat at 94-98 mph.
 
Of course, 8 of the top 10 are pitchers, which you know we will take one of them. I will be floored if we take a position guy.

Tampa loses by giving up 2 homers in the 9th.

Still gonna be 6 up in the L column over them and our schedule is about to get very difficult.

Still looks like a pretty good night, 4-5 up on Min/Cincy in the L column provided we lose.

i'd probably take a hitter given the depth of pitching we now have, but if there's a superstar SP thats in discussion for 1.

It's not like we couldnt use him.

Way too early to tell right now.
 
Braves need to go 30-34 in their final 64 games to avoid a 100 loss season.

Braves now 5 games up (?) in loss column in the standings, 7 games up in the loss column in the Fangraphs and 538 projected end-of-season standings.
 
Atlanta- 33-65

Minnesota- 37-60

Cincinnati- 38-59
Tampa- 38-59

Arizona- 40-57

San Diego- 42-56

Milwaukee- 41-54
 
Would be quite delicious if Minnesota gained another game on Atlanta today. I sense Atlanta and Minnesota will split their 2-game series this upcoming week.
