GDT #36: May 11, 2014 Cubs (Jackson) @ Braves (Le Grand Harang)

^^^ I hate I'm missing that: I'm outside grilling. Lemke is on the radio side in place of Sutton,and, I must say, he's pretty good at it.
 
Chip telling a story about Fredi getting letters from fans... good when they're winning, bad when they're losing.

A fan sent a package to Fredi today... Chip showing Smoltz and Joe a sex toy... John figures out it's something to help them bunt. Looks like a face attachment piece to help Chip do his bumps.

In short, he says he's obviously really happy for all 3, but if he had to rank them he says he always knew Tommy/Greg would be HOF, he just wanted to make sure Bobby was recognized and that he's thankful for everything Bobby did for him (trading for him, etc.)

He also says all the HOF interviews are pre-screened and have to be submitted to the Hall before they speak. He says he wants to hear Maddux because he says Greg always gave crap and terrible interviews...

He also says Greg was the master of making his defense look better than it was to win GG's. He'd jump up a foot to "snatch" the ball to make it seem out of routine... He says once he wins an award, it's hard not to win it again.

^ This is just a wild guess, but I think that is how he controls his northern accent.

Well he's from a part of New York that's kind of like country... so the accent shouldn't be the issue.

You have to listen to him consistently. He legitimately does sound like he's drunk by the answers he gives.

Offensively he is a mess, and darn sure doesn't need to hitting lead off.

Ok, so why give up a player with Heyward's value, to get a "true leadoff" hitter.

Michael Bourn was a true leadoff hitter, Heyward when he's on can run circles around Bourn. Heyward isn't even 25 yet... lol
