[Braves1976]

Are you kidding me? Phillips just robbed us again. What a catch that was!

[Hulavol]

Yep.

[jsebe10]

Yep, right after they said Simmons is the hardest to strikeout in the Majors.

That's a very surprising stat...especially considering he's standing in the LH batters box after every swing.

[The Chosen One]

Thom Brennaman sure isn't hiding the fact he's biased to Cincinnati, on a national telecast meant to look neutral.

[The Chosen One]

That's a very surprising stat...especially considering he's standing in the LH batters box after every swing.

Simmons striking out, Simmons hitting into a DP, Simmons hitting a mile high pop up.

What's the difference?

[Braves1976]

Yep.

No way any second baseman on our team makes that catch, he went well into RF to catch that ball. I thought the only chance was if the RF came in to get it, wow.

[yeezus]

If he keeps this up, you know he is going to Macy's tomorrow morning to celebrate.

Might wanna beef up security around malls tomorrow.
Leake throwing a Five Finger Discount Dandy.

I fully concur. But at least for us, Heyward would have been there to make it...

Simmons has always been great at making contact though. He reminds me of Prado in that way, though he is actually harder to strike out than Prado.

[Braves1976]

I fully concur. But at least for us, Heyward would have been there to make it...

True. Plus we have a second baseman of the future who can make amazing plays like that or similar in AA.

[sturg33]

Simmons is living proof that "putting the ball in play" is a little overrated

[CyYoung31]

Man, Harold Reynolds almost makes me miss Tim McCarver.

[USMA76]

Game just came on Directv 618. Hooray!!

[sturg33]

If the goal was for Ervin to effectively replace Kris Medlen, I'd say mission accomplished

[Braves1976]

He's bad no doubt, but nothing would make me miss McCarver.

[yeezus]

Can't even find a stream that works for this one.

[Hulavol]

Damn right. Erv is the real deal. GREAT move by Wren.

[jsebe10]

Why is it so hard for you to take a walk you fckn bafoon?

[Garmel]

CJ swinging at more **** in the dirt again.

[Julio3000]

Erv got a little swerve.
