I gotta laugh at the amount of balls the Orioles hit right at the Braves defenders. The Braves clearly have scouted this team.

That changed.

I’m not quite sure why. Voth was dealing.

Gunnar!

[Mooreisbetter27]

Great barehand by Gunnar. More soft contact by Cano. Love that dude. 

[Tony-OH]

Great play by Gunnar there! That should help out the OAA.

Gunnar being clearly more comfortable at SS is a budding issue for us. The IF plan with Mateo kind of counts on him playing third.

He’s done nothing since being drafted.  You’re right that the tools will keep him ranked but I see him dropping significantly unless he shows something on the field. 

My guess is he won't drop a ton this year, guys don't want to admit they were wrong and he does have a ton of potential (if he can hit).  I think that if he doesn't show a lot next year is when he will really take a tumble.

Hyde didn’t like matchups vs Acuna and potentially Olson I guess 

[eddie83]

Strike 3 missed. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

That should have been strike 3.

I guess Cano didn't need to warm up 

[Hank Scorpio]

What’s amazing about Cano is how much more command he has over his stuff. 

That was strike three to Acuna.

[Gurgi]

Henderson looks a lot more comfortable at SS.  Maybe if we got rid of Mateo he would settle down and be the Allstar we think he is?

[Tony-OH]

Cano's ability to throw a quality strike when he needs a strike is really part of what makes him very good.
