F Me In The Brain

Molina needed surgery after a foul top to the groin.
Oh.
Ow.

Wobbie

So, modern day baseball.

Albies and Acuna in Atlanta?

The upcoming of the WHOLE Toronto farm team?

Anybody watching?

A's Farm teams too?  Austin Beck, AJ Puck and Kevin Merrell.  Anybody know these names?

Albies and Acuna are fun to watch. I've been a Braves fan since the late 80s and this is one of, if not the, most enjoyable team to watch. I'm still tempering my excitement, but if the starting pitching gets more consistent, they could be a playoff team. Way too early for that kind of talk though. 

The two teams I'm interested in watching and their futures are the Braves and the Bluejays.  Man are there some talented players coming up!

The Braves organization is run properly so they should do well in the future.

Rough go of it for Piscotty. Love to see that guy bounce back after his last year or 2, once he has time to cope. Check out the SC story they’ve been running the last couple days. ALS is a dirty dirty bitch. 

Incredible gesture by Darvish for a dude he’s never played with or against.

This amazing Darvish story even though the writer thinks Piscotty is a pitcher...

Also a player I am following.  Vlad Guerrero Jr.

You'll know about him soon though even if you haven't been paying attention to the Blue Jays' minor league players.

Oh and they have a few others to keep watching.  You just wait.

They also have another HOF son on the team - Cavan Biggio.  He went yard last night as well.

Chipper, Thome, Hoffman and Vlad. A pretty good one.

He was an amazing hitter. One of the few in the modern game that you'd see without batting gloves. I can still picture his swing in that Expos uniform.

I'm glad I got to see Thome play in person for that nice bounce back campaign with the Twins at the end of his career. He just crushed the ball.

Oh yeah, that's right.  I was like "did I miss this year's class?"  No, I think my short term memory is just getting worse.

Biggio, Bichette, Walmorth, Alford are the others to watch also.

I just saw that Matt Harvey was traded to the Reds. Good luck pitching in that Park where the ball flies out of ther.

He won't ever come back.  He still thinks he can blow the ball by batters.  He needs to learn how to "pitch"...

Speaking of Mets, apparently they batted out of order today...
