We will see. I hope you are right though. I have just seen him dog it down the line or jog in the outfield to cut a ball off too many times. When you are struggling it is these little things that people notice. Uggla hustles his butt off no matter what.

Yeah. That was my first thought: Fredi wants to go back to bunting like crazy. Wouldn't be a horrible strategy with BJ, all things considered.

Hopefully he'll do it punching Bryce Harper in the dome. Probably more likely he'll do it while carrying Avilan off the field after Luis collapses from exhaustion. Or while bunting.

I predict we score 10 runs today.

That's usually what happens when everyone complains about the lineup.

I've been told in the past where you hit in the lineup doesn't matter, I think it's pretty obvious people don't believe that otherwise they wouldn't complain so much.

Gattis has shown to be a above average defensive catcher so far so if he's still that then we will be fine and not need a trade. But you hope for some offense at least.

"Hey look Khris Davis. Isn't he the one who hit all those HR's last year? I mean....it's spelled differently, but I bet it's just as good as the other. Plus, it's only like a dollar and change...."

they are wrong. managers get 1 challenge to start the game. if they used it and its overturned they get another one. if the manager has zero challenges left after the 6th then they can ask the umpire to initiate a challenge. but if they still have one they can use it.
