My man Bregman should win the MVP. I think for a shot, he needs to get to 40 bombs first. While we are receiving awards, we need to add Orbit for mascot of the year. |

Nicely done against a pitcher who has had success against us.

For the good of the game MLB should just go ahead and terminate Angel Hernandez.., let him file his racial discrimination complaint..., then pay him a big settlement to drop his complaint and go away. That is what he is waiting for. He is not going to retire until they do. He doesn’t give a rat’s butt about the game. I couldn’t agree more. He’s an embarrassment to the game. MLB should terminate Joe West too while they are at it..., let him file his age discrimination complaint..., and pay him a big settlement to drop his complaint and go away with Angel. Apparently there is no age at which MLB can force him to retire and competency is obviously not a requirement for keeping the job. In my opinion West cost the Astros one game in last year’s ALCS. They may have gone to the WS had he not blown the fan interference call on the home run he took away from us. |

Yes. Hilarious, though. I always thought El Rata and EdWade were troll accounts owned by Colt. Was that Rita? |

Why are they so bad at hitting with RISP? We have a record number of players with 90-100 RBI, including our lead off hitter. |

Osuna has the 2nd most saves in the league. And we’ve complained about him all year.

It sucks that the World Series will probly come down to which team hits the most homers. But we can't complain cause that's how we won ours

Correa looked good at SS but it is obvious his timing is way off at the plate.....another monster shot from Yordan.........Alex shows why he should win the MVP.....JV does what he does best and allows nothing.

I for one, am not happy with this Home Run Derby aspect of "New Baseball". 75% of the strategic aspects of this game has been ripped from its heart. |

I've never liked it, though Yordan might make me rethink that. |

I've never liked it, though Yordan might make me rethink that. Got to wonder how many great hitters didn't get chance to play in the majors due to defensive libabilites. Still, the DH started the downslide of baseball ruination. |

If you don’t find this exciting, you don’t find baseball that exciting.

Plus, how many of us on this play were yelling at Fisher, “Go, go, go!”?
Home runs aren’t everything.

It'd be nice if the World Series this year came down to pitching and small ball. I just don't anticipate it with the way the scoreboards have exploded this season The last NFL season was one of the highest-scoring ever, but it was capped by a Super Bowl that was the lowest scoring ever I'd love to see that with baseball this year. It'd be a breath of fresh air

I think we'll see some of everything. I doubt it will happen, but I'm pretty interested to see some of the young guys from ATL go far. That could be a fun WS.

When Inciarte comes back, Acuña goes back to RF, and that’ll be the best overall defense in the majors. If our boys keep hitting poorly with RISP, the Braves could take advantage in the World Series. |
