7/6/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ Milwaukee Brewers

Chip Carey says Braves team MVP is AJ, lol. Of course he and Joe also assert that he is very good defensively, etc. :)

It reminds me the spin by those two about CJ's defense at third, esp. his first year here.
 
Wisler almost waited too long on that force play, great play by Simmons to catch that and keep his foot on the bag.

He might be the best I've ever seen around the bag and making ridiculous plays look easy and blocking sliding players with his knee, etc. He's really something special defensively in many ways.

As fun as Simmons is to watch defensively, he's equally as frustrating to watch offensively at times

Simmons is on another planet defensively IMO so whatever he gives us on offense I count as a bonus. But I'll grant that he is frustrating to watch at the plate when he's going bad, I just wouldn't add the term "equally" to that description in his case. He is just too great defensively for me to go that far.

The "at times" would be the key part. When he starts screwing himself into the ground swinging and popping up on the infield every other at bat, it really disgusts me bc I think he can be a good hitter. Yeah though, it was a stretch on my part
