That Mr. T chain around his neck is holding him down.

Re: 8/3 - 8/16 Game Discussion Thread

He'd be gone if they weren't paying him so much. It seems like he hit better when he was rocking that balaclava earlier in the season.

You keep ripping Heyward, but he's actually having a very good year and has settled into a solid, 5 win player. He won't hit for the power he was projected to and his plate discipline has somehow gotten worse, but his overall package of defense, base running, and solid bat make him a very good player. I'd take him back in RF!

Russell robbed of a sure double, and maybe an RBI. Great play by whoever is playing 3B for SF

That is Matt Duffy, future 2015 NL ROY.

Also depends on how low Heston's ERA is by seasons end.

Good day to be a baseball fan.

I hope the PIT game will be on MLBN tonight - would love to see it.

Not to mention the red hot Jays play the Yanks this weekend; should be an intense matchup too and see how legit the Jays will be rest of this year.

Figured I would let you know special edition of ESPN Night Baseball, tonight featuring Kershaw and Cole starting at 7.

I think it's Duffy's to lose at this point, which is shocking given the head start that Joc had on him. Still a long way to go though...

No problem that's how I found out about the matchup, they were advertising it all week on ESPN.

So would Julio Teheran...

Whoa.

I don't rip Heyward; it's disappointing he didn't "fit in the mold" projected of what he promised in 2010 (still say Chipper messed him up in 2011) but he certainly provides value. His WAR of 3.3 is better than Markaki's 1.2 currently.

I always hope the best for him, truly. I'll ever forget opening day of 2010...I shouted in my living room when he hit that HR.

And there's also Syndergaard and Bryant.

Lots of good candidates; very hard to project who will win.
