    His tagging ability is pretty unreal. That one seems routine compared to some others he's done this year.

      Lol it's just hilarious. He's so good at finding the ball and getting his glove exactly where it needs to be with no wasted motion. Doesn't even look at the ump, just walks off.

        The Braves have really put themselves into position to catch the Phils for 4th in the NL East...I want it. I know some will say we should be hoping to get the #1 pick, but honestly the difference between a #1 and #4 pick is negligible unless there is a Bryce Harper type available (it doesn't appear that there is) and I would rather put the Phils in the basement.

        It's going to be tough...out of our last 25 games they are all against playoff contenders (Nats, Mets, Marlins, Tigers) except for a 3 game tilt with the Phillies. Making up 6.5 games in that time with that schedule is tough, but you never know...

            Josh Lewin, Mets radio announcer, was just discussing the outlawing of shifts in baseball. He said, "You can't do that...it's like outlawing the zone defense in football or basketball!" Uhh, they did outlaw zone defense in pro hoops for YEARS, Josh.

              Brian Dozier is not human. When you get 37 homeruns out of your 2b.

                Brian Dozier's been doing this since like mid-June too, just unreal.

                  Most home runs since the all-star break.

                      It's hard for me to understand how good he really is. I'm just glad I get to watch him.

                          As a Giants fan who got to watch them get shut out by earning only two measly hits, the Dodgers are fun to watch tonight... especially when they knocked out Greinke with five home runs in less than five innings.

                            He's a very talented defender, but I find him frustrating at times because he'll sacrifice the high percentage/safe play to try to make the flashy one. A lot of the time, it works out. Sometimes it doesn't (throwing to the wrong base, making risky relay throws that are 30 feet off the mark, etc). That and the premeditated swinging are his two biggest flaws. Baez could be an All-Star if he can fix them.

                                Dansby Swanson's first career home run was super exciting...inside the park job to straight away center. He can fly!
