Chipper and Heap are the only guys on the team who know how to work a pitcher. Why doesn’t anyone else learn from Chipper like Heap has?

If by home run PWH, you mean swining at a pitch 2 feet outside the strike zone for a strike out then you sir, are correct.

I actually don’t care if Frenchy hits another homerun all year as long as he keeps hitting in the clutch like he has.
