[Chicken N Raffls]

All I can think of when I see Olson's stance.

 

[Jack Straw]

Beautiful swinging bunt

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Troll Turner. Don't automerge me bro

 

[Magua]

Build that pump and dump value, Nicky.

 

[Jack Straw]

You hit dinger, you hit a dinger, you hit a dinger, you hit a dinger.

Everybody hits a dinger.

 

[Magua]

Good lord.

 

[Rebels57]

God damn Kyle! That ball had a family

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Three out of those five homers were absolutely smoked. Obviously Schwarber’s the most but Realmuto & Castellanos got some air/velocity on theirs too.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

483’

Tied for the 3rd longest HR this year.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

After they found that jet a baseball just rolled on up on its own. Creepy.

 

[Jack Straw]

This guy has some serious pipes.

I'm thinking that's how @Beef Invictus would sound when he sings that song.

 

[Halladay]

Just in case it wasnt already over, the Jake Cave experiment better be after tonight. Free Johan!

 

[DancingPanther]

That ball almost went farther than Mantle's 886 footer.

Fun to take the Braves' lunch money in their own park, even if they're mentally checked out

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[wankstifier]

Young man asks for experienced mentor’s permission to undress.

 

[Rebels57]

Is it too early to consider getting a Rojas jersey?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Not saying he's that person, but I think I got my Provy jersey too early...

 

[Jack Straw]

Is it too early to consider getting a Rojas jersey?

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Is it too early to consider getting a Rojas jersey?

Got mine!

Just kidding. I would never buy a jersey.

 

[DancingPanther]

Say bye to the trop

 

[Flybynite]

I've said before about Rojas. I think even if he was like .700 OPS with his level of defense in center I'd have him as the starting CF.

I think the best way to 'hide' Castellanos is with Marsh/Rojas/Casty. Marsh plays LF and a little bit of CF. Rojas plays CF and like 1/3 of RF. Casty only has to cover about 2/3 of RF.

Rojas in very limited playing time has like 2.3 bWAR on the season. Casty is at 1.0. Rojas is 6th on the team among position players in bWAR despite only accumulating it in like 50 games.

They need to find a way to get rid of either Schwarber or Castellanos this offseason. Hopefully the latter.

Both. I actually hate both of these players. I realized recently that they are really the only parts of this team I really dislike (+ Nola)

Yes, as long as Bryce can play the field it should be Nick. Kyle as a DH is fine. Unfortunately I think it will be more difficult to get rid of Nick cause he has an extra year and as a DH he is worth less than Kyle. Also from a viewing point he is so much worse to watch at the plate.
