Bellinger aka THE MISTAKE CRUSHER


Nice debut by Sims! What velocity does he work at?

His 4 seam was sitting at 91-94.

Good to see some of this young prospects getting their chance. After the rough past few years we need to start seeing these guys show what they are capable of. Disappointed in Swanson so far but hopefully he can turn it around. Albies should bring some life to this team and Sims was impressive last night in his first start. He is very aggressive in throwing strikes and looks to have 4 solid pitches.

Been a rough stretch for this team since we made it back to .500.

It seems every time we reach .500 there is an inevitable losing streak that follows. With the slump they are in I do not expect them to be able to reach .500 again.

Albies first major league hit is.........a home run!

That 3-run shot was Freeman's 20th HR of the season

.317 avg 20 HR 45 RBI 1.060 OPS

Great season. Just imagine if he avoided that injury.

He'd likely finish with 40+ home runs had he avoided it.

He'd likely finish with 40+ home runs had he avoided it.

I'd love to see him end up with a .300 avg and 30+ HR.

I'd love to see him end up with a .300 avg and 30+ HR.

That's still a very obtainable goal for Freeman. I'm expecting it

 

[death2redemptions]

Freeman HR (21) in 247 at-bats

Leadoff triple by Acuna puts him at a .323 avg for the 2017 season playing at 3 levels (hi-A/AA/AAA). His avg & OPS have increased at each level he's reached which is unfathomably amazing. He's currently the youngest player in AAA.

I still want to see acuna put in a situation where he needs to make an adjustment.

Like every player in baseball, the time will eventually come when he needs to make an adjustment. Pitchers will find a hole in his swing, he'll go into a slump and he'll need to adjust his approach in order to get out of it. Adapt or die.

Thanks and yes, they are all mine and I have more but my Freeman was in this gang scan along with my high end Singleton AFLAC.

So young!

I've never seen a full Freeman auto like that before.
