    Making the other pitcher run the bases on hot nights has been a heck of a strategy
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

O'Day is trying to make it back for Sept. and would need one spot if he can do so.
    I dont know about that, Hech is a good defender, and useful come September. There should be a spot for him.

    Nice, Julio makes the pitcher stay on the bases all inning, good strategy.

    As quick and easy as he recovered it made it seem like he was just toying with them. I am going to make your pitcher run the bases and then set you down in order including your best hitter for the last out.

    Ronnie leads off 3rd with BBs. We're going to see 30th steal attempt now!!

    Edit-- bad wording there!!

    We're going to see his attempt at 30th steal now.

    That sucked, caught stealing and two bad ab's chasing balls off the plate. Smith is not throwing many strikes.

    What's it matter as long as we still have our core offensive players, Flowers, Hechevarria, and Ortega.

    I’m a little concerned that Ronald seems to be forcing stolen base attempts rather than trying to find good spots. I wonder if he isn’t thinking about the 30/30 40/40 marks.

    Pitchers seem to always hit against the Braves, extremely annoying.

    Wonder how much the a-hole fan's interference impaired Charlie's ability to catch and throw that ball?

    The extended netting will prevent that from happening more often. What was the guys name in Cubby town??

    Had Charlie nailed Smith at 2nd, the Fish would have challenged the non-interference call.
