The Braves have the luxury of being able to load their lineup with lefties. If only the Reds could do that.
I understand there are a million ways to score from third with one out, but how many ways can you score from the bench? I think all this aggressive base running is comparable to base stealing. You have to be safe a good percentage of the time or else you are just hurting the team.Quote:

They've been taking early and getting ahead of Cueto. They have much different management and a huge difference in hitting philosophy. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your point of view, a Baker led team will not use that strategy.
Pass this idea on to Walt.Quote:

Not looking good. I wish we had an offense comparable to Atlanta
Any chance that Walt is dyslexic and feels like the team has enough lefties already?
I recall that the Braves hitting philosophy was very impressive down the stretch last year. :laugh:Quote:

Rookie draws a walk.
I run Cozart here. If he gets thrown out, so be it.
Into the brig for Cozart. How dare he take a walk.
