Smoltz watching the Brewers strike out a bunch and hit a ton of homers for four games in the NLCS and yet continuing to talk about them shortening up their swings is amazing feel for the game

oh hell yeah it's time for my first of a million offseason reminders that "willing to listen" does not portend anything, and every front office should be willing to listen on virtually every player
