I think he's a landslide winner. You're talking about a guy who plays Gold Glove defense, the best center fielder in the game, bar none. Everybody's just been waiting for him to turn the corner offensively, and now he's done that.
He's going to be the next face of this franchise. He's already been labeled everything from the Golden Child to the next Dale Murphy. He's got all the tools. It's just a matter of getting the repetitions before he takes the next step.
I am turning my Golden Child Status over to Frenchie. He is going to be the next face for the Braves for a long time.
I've been looking forward to this from the second I knew he was going to play. Everyone in the game has wanted to play behind him at one point. We'd love to send Roger out with a gold medal around his neck.
I've liked Edgar for a long time. I thought we should have been in the running for him a long time ago. He's a clutch hitter, situational hitter, Gold Glove-caliber shortstop. You can't ask for anything more.
Any win is important nowadays. Obviously, Philly has been playing well and their score was posted on the scoreboard before we started. They lost and we knew we had a golden opportunity to gain a game. We went out and did it. So it's two more off the magic number, whatever it is. It's probably 100. But nonetheless, it's another day in the books and we gained a game.
We got a win. No matter how ugly it is, it's still a win,
We got a wakeup call. If it had been the right score between Mexico and Canada, we were heading home.
Roger isn't ever going to let up, no matter who he's playing.
It does show we're going back to normalcy when Met fans begin booing again.
I thought it was awesome. I never played winter ball, never got to play in a Caribbean Series. The Mexican fans brought a lot of excitement to the game.
Logic would say Roger has the upper hand in that situation.
That was him being less stubborn and making some changes he needed to make at the plate.
I think chemistry is probably our greatest asset right now. It can only be a good thing. These guys are close knit.
