When Harper makes that play, we all say he shouldn't be playing first base.
Extremely easy play and should be an out 999 out of 1000 times.

Hall reading the speculation that if Harper starts playing first, he may end up back in AAA.
Everyone is rested and we start our #5 pitcher? I am just not going to understand how this game is managed anymore.
Well Hall needs to improve his hitting …. or his fielding
I know part of it is managing the workload of guys like Wheeler and Nola who pitched deep into the playoffs last year
Shouldn’t winning the game be part of that calculus ?
