Yes, it is.

Cischek owns us, hopefully Walden is ok though.

I guess everyone is happy we rested Kimbrel even though he hasnt been used a ton all year.

The Gattis bashing in this thread (and in general off and on lately) is stupid. BJ is the one who didn't hustle and made a bad throw giving Simmons no shot. Plus Gattis made a great block on the first pitch.

Or Walden for throwing him an 0-1 nut down the rail pipe....or give Hechervarafhydj a little bit of credit

I wasn't just talking about that single at-bat. I made the comment a few days ago on Twitter, I think it was the Cliff Lee game, that McCann doesn't hit lefties anymore. The numbers back that up.

As you can see he used to more than hold his own against LHP but just doesn't hit them anymore.
 
Not intended as a bash. The breaking ball in the dirt is a weapon against a guy who is aggressive. A pitcher needs to be able to throw it with confidence that the catcher will block it. I would have said the same thing if it had been McCann or Laird.
 
BJ wasn't running particularly hard, but he had the triple regardless. He was thinking three right away. The ball got caught up under the padding. Upton's throw was bad and the relay from Simmons was off anyway. Walden threw a bad pitch, he put a good swing on it. We should have avoided throwing a curve in the dirt, and Gattis couldn't block it. It happens. Try scoring for a change, and we don't have to worry about it.
