Chipper fiddles with his buttons. He tells stories about setting up pitchers, about the time he was facing vintage Pedro Martinez when Pedro was with Montreal, took a terrible swing on a changeup early in the game to give him more confidence in his change (as if he needed it), then sat dead changeup on a 3-2 count later on, got one, and launched a grand slam.
Over on Grantland, Jonah Keri writes about some old guy on the Braves. Imagine being so good at hitting that you could set up the game’s greatest pitcher.
