I hope he sets career milestones this year.   

 

Arcia has kind of lessened the impact though given his stellar play thus far for the Braves.   

 

Sure do miss him.    Shuster better put together a clean game next time out or he should be sent back down.    Albies needs to get the bat going as well.

I haven’t been watching too closely, but I’ve heard ATL started off well. I like that you are always watching, reminds me of my brother but he’s a fan of your bitter rival haha. He went to the home opener in Philly this week

Phillies lineup is just ridiculous.  Hoskins going down was a big blow, but man they're loaded.  

 

ATL is 6-2 after last night's loss.   Brewers and Rays are off to a little hotter start according to the power rankings IIrc.

That's the crazy thing about a MLB season, the Phillies fired their manager mid season and then went on to the WS.    It's such a grind I'd imagine for these guys come the end of summer.

Gonna be a struggle for the Braves for a few weeks, but how can you not love a finish like that!

Man that sucks about Adam Duvall.   Hate that he left the Braves, but he just couldn't produce last year.   Hope he returns in peak form for you guys.   Such a class act.

Braves still rolling. Hopefully the pitching settles in, because the offense is on fire!

The O’s are back! By that I mean they’ll probably break .500 and if their pitching picks up the playoffs are in reach. O’s fan since ‘65. If Henderson and Holliday pan out we’re lookin’ good, just need some pitching.

Birds down 4 zip at the end of the first because grayson rodriguez couldnt command anything. After the first inning he was what all orioles fans were hoping for. The next 4 innings he was magnificient with his splitter and fastball. Birds win 8 to 4.

One of the first real ace starts they've had this year.

 

whole pitching staff last night was incredible.  Dylan Lee sitting down 6 straight, most on Ks was super impressive.

 

They need to pay the Padres back.  Grissom might not ever be a good SS, but he'll always stay in the Majors because of how mature that bat of his is.   He's a fantastic hitter, and a terrible fielder lol.

I know, I know. But c’mon! The Dong Bong just sounds awesome! ?

 

With a little better pitching, the O’s are contenders. That line-up puts runs on the board. Plus they walk frequently and steal bases with speed. They are an entertaining ballclub this year!

When Elias came over from Houston I was cautiously optimistic. He’s putting a competitive team together and with some decent pitching we’d be contenders. It’s still early.

Orioles win

[BrianMDTX]

Three games. One run given up. Unusual blown save by Bautista sets up the walk-off. Starting and relief pitching getting it done. Especially as run production dropped like a dead bird lol. 
 

A slim 0.5 game up for 2nd place in the AL East ahead of the Stankeys and Boo Jays. I’ll take it! 

[throttleplate]

saturday, birds win

How about them battling Bucs!!!! They're usually mathematically eliminated from the playoffs by now. Brian.....I suffer the Bucs every season.
