As a preliminary matter, I was wrong about Francoeur. At least for the week.
That's not what I am here to say, though.
Early in the game, Chip Hale held the runner at third, even though there were two outs and the Marlins were going to walk Cora and get the pitcher out.
This sparked a discussion about how great Chip Hale has been this year. That is true. He has been great.
Gary Cohen, in response to Ron Darling's comment to that effect, said: "I couldn't agree more, Chip Hale has done a great job."
Ralph Kiner chimed in with: "Yeah! Certainly much better than last year!" This was followed by the sound of crickets....
Lest we forget, Razor Shines (last year's third base coach) is still with the team (as the all important 1st base coach).
If Kiner and Shines meet in the clubhouse after the game, this could get ugly. I am betting on Kiner. Shines was off the mark so often last year, he would probably try to punch Kiner, and miss!
