Acuña Matata with the RBI single

The NL should be very worried about an Albies, Acuña, Freeman order

We're already one of the best offenses in beisbol...just imagine once we get Ender back to his regular self, Markakis has been raking and get Dansby going again. This offense is relentless

I don't care what anyone says.

There's no fukkin way anybody saw Albies' power surge coming. Who knows if it'll keep up all year but this little fukker turned into Jose Altuve over 1 winter.

Cubbies walked in another run

Tom Glavine was on there talking about when that young 91 team felt like they were for real. It was around this part of the season.

This team has shown they can play with anyone. Let’s hope they can keep it up, and this is the start of dominance like we saw throughout the 90’s and early 2000’s.

Not all hard hitting Dominican 2nd Basemen are dirty

 

[staticshock]

Yo they really intentionally loaded the bases to go against Jose Batista with 1 out & he proceeds to strike out

 

[staticshock]

3 runners left on base and nothing to show for it

 

[#1 pick]

Not gonna lie, scares me a little bit.

I read from scouts that believe he has the same power and Altvue said Albies has more than him. Albies just always focus on singles and doubles

The Atlanta Braves released slumping third baseman Jose Bautista on Sunday, just over a month after adding the veteran slugger to bolster their lineup.

Bautista, 37, batted just .143 (5-for-35) with two home runs in 12 games with the Braves.

Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said the team's staff agreed that Johan Camargodeserved the opportunity to play every day at third base, meaning Bautista would be hard-pressed for playing time.


"As we looked at it, knowing there weren't going to be at-bats for Jose, that's not fair to him," Anthopoulos said Sunday before the Braves' game against the Miami Marlins. "We talked to [Bautista] last night, and just talked it over with him. ... We agreed that if there wasn't going to be at-bats and playing time here, that's not right for him."

Dansby Swanson, who was activated from the disabled list Saturday.

Camargo, 24, was in the lineup at third base for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Bautista went unsigned as a free agent for the entire offseason after batting just .203 with 23 homers in 157 games with the Toronto Blue Jays last season.

He was attempting to stay with Atlanta as a third baseman despite playing almost exclusively as an outfielder since 2011. He had a .933 fielding percentage and committed one error in eight games. He also appeared as a designated hitter in two games with the Braves.

Bautista, who spent 10 seasons with the Blue Jays, led the majors in home runs in 2010 and 2011 and has 333 in 15 major league seasons.
