This may be the only Braves rain postponed game I've been glad to see. It's the final day of the week in my fantasy matchup and my opponent has Folty (plus Swanson, Ender & Albies). He's not an ace or anything but it's a VERY close game and I really want this win!!!

With all the excitement surrounding Acuna's first major league home run many might have overlooked what Albies did today. He swatted a couple more extra base hits including his league leading 8th HR of the season. In all honesty, I never expected to see Albies leading the league in home runs at any point of his career. Take a look at where he ranks in these categories
8 Home Runs - 1st NL
24 Runs Scored - 1st NL
30 Hits - 1st NL
19 XBH - 1st NL
66 Total Bases - 1st NL
10 Doubles - 2nd NL
.635 Slg% - 4th NL
Pretty amazing, huh?

So much to be excited about with the Braves. Haven't said that in a long time. Future is so bright!
You picking up any of the Topps Living/Now Acuna cards?

I've never bought any of the Topps Living/Now cards before but I'm tempted to with Acuna.
And yeah, I've always been excited for our future (with some healthy skepticism, as prospects don't always pan out...even the top ones) but now we're finally getting to see the results of our rebuild with Acuna & Albies. Dansby is finally starting to come around & we've still got Austin Riley right around the corner who's been tearing it up in the minors. This team certainly isn't lacking in offense or defense. It's up to the pitching now.

You can buy just one, but it's cheaper buying in bulk. You can buy 10 for $5 each, 20 for $4 each, etc.

Amazing start for sure. Harper and Blackmon have both been sitting on 8 HRs for about a week though so he tied the National League Lead. Trout of course leads everyone with 10 and Aaron Judge....err Didi Gregorious is in second with 9.
Who would have thought with Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez that Gregorious would be batting third for the Yankees and leading the team in HRs?
i bought 20 from this guy

I'm debating upping that to 40. I know this will be a high print run card, but I think it's also going to be high demand. It's a really good looking card with good art.

I got two just to have them. Agreed the PR will be super high, but for 4.50 each they seem like a good deal

Well technically it is Acuna's first RC logo card, so I feel like it will always be remembered that way. I bought mine from the Topps site directly but have seen a lot of them available on eBay as well.
As for Didi, he is playing amazing so far. Hard to pitch around him since that lineup is so deep.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if you could just buy the player you wanted or if you had to sign up for their membership and receive 3 different cards.
I decided I'd just get them from someone on e-bay & bought five of them.

Acuna hits an RBI double in his first at-bat.
Kid has crazy speed! That would have been just a single for 90% of the hitters in the league.

I'm curious what's up with Teheran. He can't even touch 90 with his fastball.
Bullpen has already been called up.

Back-to-back multi-hit games for Acuna and a hit in every game of his career.
