The component numbers are legitimate though-high K rate, decent walk rate, not an excessive amount of BABIP luck. Maybe a little lower than average HR/F rate, but it’s not extreme, either. his fastball is reportedly getting a lot of movement on it which it never did before.

If I'm the Phillies, I don't like this matchup.

But since I’m a Braves fan, I like it. A lot.

We have traded away great players for less than nothing and let Texierra walk away, and much much more so pray that Hayward is sent from God and that his energy can ignite the veterans and cause the younger players to hustle more and play winning baseball...

There was a story a while back about this kid who went to his local Apple store and just started making Internet videos of himself.

The birth of Jason Heyward was God’s punishment for the sins of the people in New York and Philly.

that was painful to watch. I had to take the opportunity since I don’t get many on TV, but I could have sworn I was watching the local Philly broadcast and not ESPN.

every at bat it was what the Phillies did wrong, never what the Braves did right….

very frustrating.
