Dare I say... Heyward cares about baseball?

Almost. He almost cares.

 

[The Tariff King]

Tron just needs to bloop it into center and Heyward will score from 1st.

 

[UNCBlue012]

As I've said a million times, I like Schafer. Is he the ideal bench player? No. But, I love it when he starts.

 

[50PoundHead]

Following on Gameday, but it's nice to see Heyward hitting the ball the opposite way with authority.

 

[jason27nc]

So we are as close to having our best lineup in with Simmons batting 2nd and not Bj.

 

[AerchAngel]

No one is saying it because it's hard to maintain a .215 BABIP against all year.

so you are saying he is not a #1 and he is just a #2 that is lucky?

 

[thewupk]

pathetic man, you need to up it with CAPS. HEYBEAST!

Thanks I'll remember next time.

 

[Julio3000]

Gritty performance. Really grinding it out tonight.

 

[UNCBlue012]

What a catch for Parra! Dang. This is from a guy who has been way off defensively this year, surprisingly.

 

[The Tariff King]

So we are as close to having our best lineup in with Simmons batting 2nd and not Bj.

Simmons should not be hitting 2nd... too much GIDP potential. LaStella or Justin should be hitting 2nd... or even Heyward himself with TLS leading off.

 

[thewupk]

so you are saying he is not a #1 and he is just a #2 that is lucky?

To this point I would describe him as that.

 

[AerchAngel]

Parra is good.

But damn, Cahill has a stomach, almost like a lot of former closers we had over 20 years that had a marsupial pouches.

 

[The Tariff King]

Very disappointed Heyward didn't score from first there on that single.

 

[Julio3000]

To this point I would describe him as that.

He's not going to maintain his BABIP or his strand rate, or his sub-2.00 ERA. But he is damned good.

 

[AerchAngel]

To this point I would describe him as that.

Ah, consistency. I do agree there. He has that bulldog mentality potential though.

 

[atl717]

Julio has been a bit lucky, but he's getting more strikeouts now that offsets his luck on balls put in play. I definitely feel he's an ace.

 

[Julio3000]

Very disappointed Heyward didn't score from first there on that single.

If he loved baseball a little more . . .

 

[TURBO]

If somehow this inning gets to Kimbrel, he better be ordered to stand at very edge of box and not to swing at anything.

 

[The Tariff King]

LMAO... Parra already used his dive attempt for the inning.

 

[UNCBlue012]

5-2
