Scenario last nite @chuckiepoo just got comfy in his chair starting watching Dodgers -Astros and in a blink of an eye Mookie smacks a homer and then writing for the evening was on the wall. BTW would Mookie be an honorary VFL since he actually was going to play here?

No honorary VFL. Jmo, dude must play on UT's hallowed ground first to become a VFL.

Idk if we should claim him but he would have been the best player in the program since Todd Helton. Would have been something to see at LNS.

Matt Olson is paying off huge dividends this year. Batting average sucks but the dude can mash with the best of them. 2nd in MLB and 4th in MLB for HR and RBI is hard to argue with.

Yeah, I know all that. But sometimes when he's at bat he's a big disappoint when striking out w/bases loaded or grounding out into a DP to end innings. I expect more for some reason.
To me, he's not the Mr. Clutch I thought he was going to be.

Yeah I’ve come to terms that he will not come through for us like Freddie always seemed to do but if we can’t have Freddie then I’m not so sure I would want another 1B in the game right now. A guy that might lead the league in HR and RBI is more valuable than total hits imo. We are just going to have to live with a lot of strikeouts and accept the trade off because he produces so many runs.

You’re just a Freddie fan and will warm up to Olson eventually.
This Braves team is probably the most exciting Braves team I’ve ever watched. JMO.

Don't look now, but Ozzy Albies, is nipping at his heels in HRs & RBIs.
