What happened on the single? I was watching and I thought I saw an easy fly out but somehow the ball was on the ground. I'm reading a book and watching Wheel of Fortune at the same time I'm watching the game, so I sometimes miss something.

Cesar Hernandez doubles (7) on a sharp line drive to center fielder Austin Jackson. Cesar Hernandez advances to 3rd, on a fielding error by center fielder Austin Jackson.
I think that Alfaro is getting pretty exciting. Obviously his BA has to come up but his game seems much more confident and "graceful". Nola obviously likes his catching skills as they wouldn't waste their best pitcher on a unwelcome battery mate. And lordybee, does he have a gun for an arm. Seems like the clubhouse likes him too.

Didn't see this play either. I'm curious as well.
On another subject, Belt has become a pretty good hitter.

Kingery and Franco cover the bag at the same time; they need to work on coordination. It looked like the throw had a chance but .....

Alen Hanson strikes out swinging.
His framing is much better than Knapp too. I think he is the de facto starter now. Probably won't get more than 2/3 of the starts but that is different from the beginning of the year.
