They are, briefly:
1.
The Braves are historically good
2.
Baltimore has earned the 2nd best team designation, much later than Orioles' fans anticipated.
They’re a vocal bunch.
The Brewers will kill you so slowly that you won’t even realize you’re dead.
They make almost no mistakes.
They have the best 1-2-3-closer group in the league.
You should respect them.
I believe nearly everyone anticipated this being a horrible stretch after a big chunk of average.
Quite the opposite though.
The staff is loaded and the lineup is bizarre.
Even so - the Phillies (in our opinion) provide a much more difficult October matchup.
Theyprobablyhave the best chance of beating the Braves.
The AL West could and should be great this week.
They play each other.
Having 3 teams after 1 division title this late in the year is mentally exhausting.
Wild Cards could be 1,000 different combinations I think.
Maybe 500 but definitely not less.
- There’s room for three fanbases to be completely gutted on Sunday afternoon.
That’s a solid amount but I’d prefer more.
The Giants, Padres, Yankees and Red Sox all squandered 2nd half chances to be in the mix.
- The Cubs have BY FAR the hardest schedule remaining with 3 in Atlanta then 3 in Milwaukee.
But they’re also playing teams that have locked up their playoff spot.
So maybe that’s actually easier?
It’s been changing every other day for weeks.
There’s still minimal clarity and I think that’s exactly what MLB wants out of it’s schedule.
Heavy stuff out of the way, some
Joey Votto’s Ovation.
Orion Kerkering’s Debut.
and while we’re here, a tough name.
Dad must’ve also lost his emotions on the birth certificate.
Kerkering is such a mouthful that you have to go traditional 4-seam fastball first name.
Bob(by).
Orion is simply too flashy.
But steady enough defensively to offset his 66 OPS+.
The visual mixed with the audio is too good.
He’s too sexy.
Don’t tell this man he can’t hit.
He can do anything.
So can The Kid
What’s the deal with famous baseball players turning to photography in their next stage?
Must be something about their vision.
Or maybe it’s just a solid hobby.
Like deep sea fishing, or gardening a nice tomato plant.
Whatever the case, it’s not a new revelation by any stretch.
More of a reason to just shove some Griffey defensive highlights in your face.
3rd party tupperware creeps me out and I’ve got dairy sensitivities.
Too many challenges, although I respect the communal effort.
