Another big time prospect hit by Elias and company in a 6 pick draft that included Heston and Mayo. The year before saw Henderson, the second pick after Rush. Were lucky too have these guys.
Current projection for the season is .301 batting average with 26 HRs and 111 RBI. 34 doubles and 9 triples. Those are basically Alex Bregman-ish numbers.
Look, I don't know if my central nervous system can take a whole season like this, but I'm sure as hell of one thing.
This has gotta be the most exciting team in baseball.
That doesn't mean it's the best, or the most competent, although they are definitely in that mix...but just about every game, there's thrills, drama, tension, tight rope walking, and mostly it's a fun ride to watch.
My heart could be very happy with a half dozen laughers here and there, and the bullpen is , for right now, walking a fine line between excellence and potential implosion, but for now, this team, especially around the 6th inning on...is a thriller, and when they win...it's just so satisfying it fills my need for an adrenaline rush.
Yes, I over react, I over state,I am over the top, probably more often than I am subdued. I wouldn't want it any other way. But I feel my heart thumping and my pulse rising, my hands sweating, just about every day or night.
Don't you think this ball club is a wild ride of cliff hanging dripping drama?
I sure as hell do.
Keep it up boys, you're the greatest show on turf.
Go Birds!
