I hope that continues. Seems like Bruce hits the ball where it’s pitched and doesn’t try to pull everything. I hope that continues.

Otherwise, he's great...wonder if he's too cockey to work on that a little? Good game!

Chipper was on the grass and that was a rocket. I wouldn't be shocked if that one gets overturned. Should have been a hit. It was just as much a hit as Griffey's. Steve-I agree with you.

You don't need every position to produce offensively, especially catcher. By the way, great game by EE tonight defensively. When he doesn't think on his throws he has absolutely no problem.

That sucks considering how hard he smacked that one, but it did go right through Chipper's legs. Too bad, but in my mind, that one's a game winner if it won't count as a hit. I'll take a game winner.
