That play by Arcia was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

[AdvantageSchneider]

I liked this factoid, since the Pirates extended David Freese he's 5-30 with 0 rbi.

The way Arcia managed to dance around the tag on his 7th inning double was pretty cool.

My god Gennett is terrible. I can't wait to be rid of him.

Braun is slumping again. As hot as he was for most of August he looks lost again for the last week or so.

Orlando's a homer away from a cycle.

[The stache]

Spraining your knee and ankle sliding into a wall will do that to ya.

I feel like it hasn't been mentioned much, but Broxton now has 21 SB compared to 1 CS. But given his plate appearances that is in the realm of a 70-80 SB season. I'm sure he'll get caught more then he has, but that adds a fair amount of value.
