One-way Player
Chipper Jones is a great hitter, but he can't play defense. They moved him from third because he couldn't handle the hot corner, and now twice today he's shied away from balls near the ivy covered walls of Wrigley that he could have caught. Simon got a double on Jones' timidity, and Damien Miller hits a solid double to left to cut the lead to two. It's 6-4 Braves, with no out, and Lofton representing the tying run.
Update: Lofton strikes out for out #1. Because Sosa bats third, he'll probably have a chance to tie or win this game with one swing.
Update: Smoltz is going after Sosa with first base open. Sosa has never hit a HR off Smoltz in 41 AB, according to the broadcast.
Update: Grudzielanek pops out, it's up to Sosa.
