If Sean Newcomb keeps this up he'll be going to the All Star Game.

He definitely deserves it as does Folty, Markakis, Freeman, Albies, and Winkler.

Nice win last night, Newcomb looked great after a shaky first inning and the bullpen held the lead in the late innings, Winkler looked really good !
ESPN had an article this morning predicting All-Star rosters, they had Freeman and Albies as starters and Markakis as a reserve ... well deserved !!

Sean Newcomb should be on the NL pitching staff if he had 10 wins or more at the All Star Break

Yep Mike, that's the same article I read this morning ... add Newcomb (at least) and we'll have a good showing. Where is the All-Star Game this year ?

I hope we're seeing Folty harness his immense talent and turn into the pitcher that will head up this staff for a long time

It's nice to see Folty coming around

If the Phillies win tonight they will be back in 2nd place with a 32-23 record.

Austin Riley 3rd baseman of the Gwinnett Stripers is having a great season he's hitting 318 with 10 homers. I think Austin Riley will be the future 3rd baseman of the Atlanta Braves.

He definitely is. I know that Dansby got a big hit tonight, but if the Braves seriously want to go after a World Series (not just this year, but over the next few), then they need to bring up Riley and try to trade for/sign Machado. That would really bolster the bench too with Camargo and Dansby coming off of it.
