![]() So let me ask you this: If Miller ends up with Burnett's career, would you be disappointed? Miller is a hard-throwing rookie with ability to develop into a staff ace. Burnett, circa 2000, when Burnett was a hard-throwing rookie with the Florida Marlins, with expectations to match his then-high 90s fastball and knee-bending curveball. Miller allowed four hits in the first inning but then retired 15 in a row before Andrew McCutchen reached on an infield single in the sixth and later scored on Neil Walker's bouncer up the middle.Īs I watched, it dawned on me: Shelby Miller is A.J. He was locked up with Cardinals rookie Shelby Miller in a 1-0 duel and would retire the first 16 batters before hitting Daniel Descalso in the sixth. Burnett starting to get serious about a no-hit bid. I flipped over to the Cardinals-Pirates game in the fifth inning, with A.J. **Statistics provided by Fangraphs, Baseball-Reference & MiLB.You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browserĪ.J. If he refines some parts of his offensive game, he will be better suited at the major league level and become that offensive force that the Astros expect him to be. No question is he going to be at the major league level sooner rather than later. If he does that for the Grizzlies, not only will that prove successful for a struggling offensive team, but it will show that Reed is ready for the Show. Reed will have ample opportunities to drive in runs at the major league level. However, I see Reed batting fourth or fifth in a future Astros lineup behind complete players such as Carlos Correa, George Springer, and Alex Bregman. Batting third in an underwhelming offensive lineup, Reed is not getting as many opportunities to drive in runs as he had batting fourth for the 2015 Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks. To give Reed credit, his lack of at bats is due to his batting position. He also only has three extra-base hits, including two home runs, and eight strikeouts.

However, with another left-handed first baseman on the Grizzlies struggling against left-handers in Jonathan Singleton, this should be the time that Reed is learning to hit lefties. ![]() The Grizzlies have seen this in Reed’s bat giving him some days off against left-handed pitching, playing 37 of Fresno’s 50 games in 2016.Īt the major league level, a platoon situation with the switch-hitting Gonzalez or right-handed hitting White should not be out of the question early in his career. 922 closer to the kind of numbers he put up last season. 298 average against right-handed pitching and a. One of his major flaws in 2016 is his ability to hit left-handed pitching. It does show some flaws in his bat as he moves up in the Astros organization. These numbers are a setback for Reed after his award winning 2015 campaign. 255 batting average with six home runs, 24 RBIs, and a. However, in his first 37 games in 2016, Reed has struggled a bit. Reed locked up the starting first base job at Triple-A Fresno with an impressive Spring Training performance. ![]() In his 135 games split between High-A Lancaster and Double-A Corpus Christi, Reed hit 34 home runs and drove in 127 RBIs with an average and OPS of. To say he crushed the ball would be an understatement. In 2015, Reed came in for his first full season in the organization after being drafted in the second round of the 2014 draft. The potential for the second ranked prospect in the Astros system is limitless. ![]() The first base job is seemingly still up for grabs on the major league club, with the underwhelming performance of rookie Tyler White and limiting utility man Marwin Gonzalez to the starting first baseman job, Reed is a hot streak away from making the club for good. In 2016, Reed has come down to earth a little bit, and flaws in his bat are starting to show. Reed‘s 2015 campaign solidified himself not only as a top prospect in the Astros system but one of the top first base prospects in all of baseball. Reed’s expectations by the Houston Astros fan base are astronomical.Ī.J. Touted as the first baseman of the future, A.J.

Gold represents the light of heaven since it’s a precious metal and an extremely reflective material. Marble gesso creates a smooth surface that will also last a lifetime-similar to the surfaces of ancient Egyptian tombs, which still retain their illustrations today.Īfter a sketch or underpainting of the image is drawn on the board, the background, or at least the saint’s halo, is gilded with sheets of gold leaf-usually real gold that has been hammered into extremely thin sheets. The icon begins as a wood board that has been carefully prepared with a sheet of linen and several layers of marble gesso. I never know who will look at an icon I’ve written and pray, or how the Holy Spirit will move long after the icon has left me. In iconography, wood, stone, and other materials are set apart for the purpose of being used to create a tool for prayer. In Mass, we offer oblations of bread and wine back to the Creator to perform a miracle with, which He gives back to us. I’ve come to think of each icon as a kind of offering. When I sit down to write an icon, it’s best to begin the task with prayer-for my skill, for the icon itself, and for all who will stand before the icon in prayer. Because of this icons are incredible tools for prayer and reflection on the gospel and the lives of the saints. We venerate icons of Christ, the saints, or moments from scripture or church history because we respect and revere what or who they point to. Veneration means to treat something with respect or reverence. Icons are visual representations that point to “the real thing.” When we look at an icon of Christ, we know it is not Christ Himself but a representation of Him. It’s helpful here to make a distinction between veneration and worship. Iconography is a reflection and reminder of the reality of the communion of saints. In both places, the congregation prays alongside all the saints, who also pray simultaneously. One might set up an icon corner somewhere in their home as a special place where they will say morning and evening prayers. Iconography is also found in the homes of Orthodox Christians. Some Orthodox churches have icons from the floor to the ceiling, depicting scripture’s grand arc and reminding the congregants that they are part of it. In the Orthodox Church today, iconography is always present in the iconostasis, which is a screen in front of the altar that plays a part in the natural flow of their liturgy. I do not worship matter I worship the Creator of matter who became matter for my sake.” ![]() But now when God is seen in the flesh conversing with men, I make an image of the God whom I see. ![]() “In former times, God, who is without form or body, could never be depicted. John of Damascus summarizes the point well: Particularly at the 7th Ecumenical Council, iconography was determined to be an outworking of the incarnation-God becoming man. Church history and tradition have asserted the goodness of iconography. As Christianity grew and eventually became legal in the Roman Empire, the church continued to develop a robust visual language, which has evolved into the iconographic tradition the church uses today. All of these styles developed from the symbolic language of the early church. Within the Eastern Orthodox Church, there are styles such as Russian and Byzantine. The Coptic Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox Church each have unique styles. There are various styles of iconography distinctive to the different streams within Orthodoxy. As my iconography teacher would say, icons are “the gospel in light and color.” This is why painting icons is called “writing” and interpretation of icons is called “reading.” Icons are visual theology, packed full of symbolism, and are meant to teach the viewer about theological intricacies and concepts. So, when I learned that iconography is the combination of these two worlds, I really dove straight in. But they weren’t worlds that interacted much or when they did, there was little substance, at least in the Evangelical world I was familiar with. I’ve always loved theology and early church history. This episode was one of several instances during the pandemic where I encountered icons. But because of her generosity, I was able to experience the blessing of receiving an icon. All of her icons were so beautiful I didn’t understand how she was ready to part with any of them. Mary tenderly holding the Christ Child while the other had Christ holding scripture and giving a blessing. I ended up choosing a very small two-panel icon, one side had St. During the pandemic, a friend of my mom’s who is Coptic Orthodox let me pick any icon I wanted from her icon corner and keep it.

The rawer sound she has been pushing lately is made for in-your-face songs like this. The upbeat and outspoken ‘WTF Do I Know’ has an early noughties punk pop vibe to it and Cyrus pulls it off so well vocally. A Bit of Pop Music reviews Miley’s new album Plastic Hearts track by track!įor everyone still in doubt of the direction of this record, Cyrus decided to load up the first tune with an explosive, guitar heavy, rock sound. She served one of the best singles of the year with ‘Midnight Sky’, but does the rest of the record live up to the excellence of this tune. A couple of break ups later, she started to play around with an eighties pop sound with heavy rock influences. When Younger Now came out in 2017, Cyrus was in a completely different phase of her personal life and career. One can only hope that whether it's about Cody Simpson, Liam Hemsworth, or someone else entirely, that she's at least starting to feel released from the emotional chains of a relationship gone wrong now that "High" is out in the world.It feels like a lifetime ago that Miley Cyrus last released an album. The track is a soaring dedication to the missteps that caused a breakup, and the intoxicating lasting effect it's left on her life: "And in my head, I did my very best saying goodbye, goodbye/ And I don't miss you but I think of you and don't know why/ I still feel high." If that's not enough to make you tear up, there are no shortage of other tragic love stories on the album to replay until you start to sob. Producer Mark Ronson told his Twitter followers that "High" had "one of the most beautiful vocals/melodies" he ever recorded, and he wasn't wrong. Perhaps the most heartbreaking track on Plastic Hearts is also the most ambiguous fans aren't sure which breakup "High" is about, but it's clear that Cyrus is still reeling from the fallout of a relationship (or several). "Angels Like You" started buzz across social media when fans began replaying the intimate chorus: "I know that you're wrong for me/ Gonna wish we never met on the day I leave." The track title might sound heavenly at first, but it's clear after one listen Cyrus is calling herself an angel from hell who wreaks havoc on some relationship, although it's not immediately clear which A-list relationship she's referencing. With a number of songs on Plastic Hearts being breakup bops, fans are convinced they were written about Cyrus' past relationships with the likes of Liam Hemsworth and Cody Simpson. For example, "Angels Like You" is an intensely personal track, as is "Hate Me." They're so personal, in fact, that fans are already speculating who they were written about. Cyrus revealed the tracklist ahead of time, and now that fans finally got to hear songs like "Night Crawling" and "Bad Karma," they can't get enough.Īs the lead single off the album, "Midnight Sky" became an instant standout, but now there are a few other tracks grabbing major attention. ![]() 27, and the 15-track album instantly stole fans' hearts.
