It is mental softness that these guys warming up and throwing 16 pitches would make a pitcher back up 2 more days.

I'll grant you that, even if both give maximum effort. But I submit the BP's average effort on all his runs to 1st base is 10% to 20% less than Wright's average percent of max effort. Say David Wright averages 85% of his max effort on all runs to 1B, then I'm saying BP averages only 65% to 75% of his own max effort.

I like numbers....but simply put David Wright plays the game consistently harder than Brandon Phillips, as do many.

EE bails out Chappy

This is awful.

One fucking hit..boring

Manny freaking Machado

This game has 4 talented guys at 21 years of age or younger.

That Machado play was worth about 5 hits

Wasn't really THAT great..

Name 5 non-pitchers who hustle less than BP.

Yeah yeah yeah

You hate BP

I think david Wright is vastly overrated personally. I don't give two shits about hustle. You want denorfia back?

Fuck Jim Leyland if he puts Mo in for the 8th with a lead.

Sitting in my living room with me you wouldn't think that.....reading my stuff on here you would. I don't hate BP....but I don't like how ridiculously often he swings for the fences, his base running is unnecessarily below average.....what I hate is Thom blowing out my tv speakers when he makes a very good play that many other 2B make.....BP does have the great highlight plays that few other could make. People act like he is the only great fielding 2nd baseman (he and Cano by far have the most flair and style)...but for the most part every starting 2nd baseman is a darn good defensive player.

I'm not a hot dog fan between the lines....sorry. I do appreciate his HOF talent, but he'll never do enough to make it.

He is one of the best defensive 2nd baseman I have ever seen....but Alomar takes it for me.

Kipnis time!

I don't believe that....and I've never liked Denorfia but he has at least made a decent career.

Lol unreal

I can't even respond back

Is he really going to bring Rivera in to pitch the 8th and not the 9th?

An 8th inning song?

It appears that way.

Well, maybe Leyland wont fuck this up and save Mo for the 9th with a 3 run lead...
