Everyone knew Newcomb was a project. Thing is I always felt that he was going to figure it out quicker than he did or that he probably wasn't going to figure it out at all and the same goes for Folty. Luckily the Braves were rebuilding and had the time to wait for both of them. Patience appears to have paid off. I’ve steady argued for Folty for 3 years. I’m on the fence now, he’s a grown man that’s as fragile as a teenage girl.

Just think about this...
We are 3-2 against the team that won the WS two yeara ago and was in the NLCS last year...
... and we really should be 5-0, easily

Ozzie Albies, with his double and triple tonight, has 30 extra base hits in 42 games. He's on pace to finish the season with 118 extra base hits, if he plays all 162, good enough for 2nd all-time. The fact he isn't getting more pub is crazy to me.

If the Braves got Harper, could you imagine this order...
Acuna Freeman Albies Harper
That's almost the perfect top-4 lineup.

In fairness, nightman has mentioned and been open to options other than Harper.

To also be fair, nightman can justify his harper boner through WAR value.

Also, I’m going to the Braves v orioles series in June and doing the batting practice experience. The Braves recruitment of Machado begins there.

I guess we could go the Texiera or JD Drew route and sell the farm to insure middling success rates for Many years to come
