I think it was Mark Bradley who said based on the spring he thought Albies would play at an All-Star level this year.

He'll get no objections from me. I know that Albies will eventually become an All-Star I just wasn't sure how long it would take but in my mind he's flashing signs of being that caliber of player already.

Suzuki gives us back the lead with a solo shot

 

[Rabs]

Need to win today. Past two games we've been dominated.

 

[Rabs]

Blew a 2-1 lead in the 9th...

 

[Rabs]

And a 3-2 lead in the 11th...

 

[death2redemptions]

And a 3-2 lead in the 11th...

But eventually, all's well that ends well...

I think that age old saying applies here.

If not, I'll spell it out...WE WON!!!!

Albies finishes the game going 3-for-6 with a HR, RBI & 2 runs scored

Albies - .278 avg 4 HR 7 RBI .921 OPS 1 SB

NL rankings
1st in XBH (10)
1st in Total Bases (34)
2nd in Runs (12)
3rd in HR (4)
7th in slg% (.630)

Kid has been one of the top power threats in the NL with all those XBH & HR's. Who would have guessed?

They'll be calling him Shozhaino Albtanies before long!

 

[death2redemptions]

Freddie Freeman is tied for the league lead in WAR (1.0) & leads the league in OBP (.518) and walks (16). He's an on base machine.

lol, it took me a day to figure this one out but now I get it! Foggy brain syndrome

Ohtani mania!

Preston Tucker takes Darvish deep for a 3 run blast! 4-0 Braves

Anibal Sanchez has been cruising...5 scoreless innings

Cubs are in that " We can't hit our way out of a paper bag " Lets swing at all the balls in the dirt, and let the ones down the middle go by. I just don't get it. Can't they see the rotation on the ball? Time for a new hitting coach.

 

[death2redemptions]

Ozhaino Albies stays hot as he adds a couple more extra base hits to his major league leading total (12). He still leads the majors in Total Bases (38) & now he leads the NL with 13 runs scored.

.288 avg 4 HR 7 RBI .944 OPS 1 SB

Nah, they just couldn't handle the heat from one of the best pitchers in all of baseball! :wink:

 

[death2redemptions]

Albies is hotter than a dancing bobcat...on amphetamines!!!!

Albies hit his 5th HR of the season, along with a double (and single) while driving in 4 RBI & scoring a couple runs.

He now leads the majors in XBH (14), total bases (45), doubles (8), runs scored (15) & slg% (.714)!!! He is tied for 2nd in home runs (5) & 6th in RBI (11).

Albies - .313 avg 5 HR 11 RBI 1.026 OPS

It just might be Albies who becomes our next big superstar, not Acuna. Imagine if BOTH of them live up to their full potential!

 

[death2redemptions]

BTW: Braves are up 10-4 in the 7th

 

[death2redemptions]

Albies is proving that size doesn't matter.

 

[death2redemptions]

I have a feeling it won't take that long, with the extra attention Acuna is going to bring to the team shortly.

[MENTION=11981]WCTYSON[/MENTION] made this comment 5 days ago. His autos have since doubled in price. His base autos have sold for as high as $90 and after this game I have a feeling they will top $100.

 

[death2redemptions]

Wow, our bullpen just went full retard.

We were up 10-3...then came the bullpen....tie game with bases loaded in the 8th *ouch*

 

[nosterbor]

WOW 9 runs in the 8TH. Guess they burned the paper bag. About time! Cubs 14 Braves 10.
