AA is right to like having a back-up at short that is a plus defender at short and probably other positions too. Plus before today he had been hitting a lot better.

Problem is that Culberson isn't a plus defender. He's light hitting which makes people think he's got a great glove. Hes looked very average defensively.

Rough game for Ronnie. Whoever keeps pimping acuña before games needs to stop. He reads these forms and it is putting too much pressure on him

seems kinda pouty lately

Culberson has a track record of plus defense at short. He is no Simmons, not even close. But he is very good, esp. if you watch him play regularly.

Culberson has a 7 DRS, 0.1 1.7 0.8 2.6 15.2 in 241.2 innings at short.

That deal was about $. Down to the penny. They needed his 500K.

defensive subs were explained to Snit using Tucker as an example. Snit thinks Tucker is the only player in the world you defensive sub for...

Nah, I like green things.

It's pretty damn green there, actually: you're either just above, or just below, the Mogollon Rim. Lots of juniper below the rim, a sea of ponderosa above it.

If RF was in that inning is over. Snit asleep at the wheel.

Twit only knows how to double switch. He would have had to take Charlie out. Dummy

[bravesfanMatt]

I didn’t think Carle could pop 96

Carle has been a god send.

[Hawk]

[Russ2dollas]
