May 10, 201610 yr Figured we should have a non-Reds series thread to talk MLB. Read that MLB is on pace to set a record for runs coming via HRs. Through May 1 38.2% of all runs scored have come via HRs. Record is 37.3 set last year.

Strikeouts and hits are almost even. In late and close situations batters are striking out 24% of the time with two outs and RISP.

May 15, 201610 yr You think he might reconsider retirement? He's having a heck of a year. I'd love to see him come back for another season. I'd have to think he's financially secure enough that it wouldn't be about the money. I'd say it hinges on his family.
May 15, 201610 yr Braves have 9 HR as a team. Mets pitchers have hit 3 HR in the last week. My Braves are on fire------have won 2 of their last 4.
