Yeah, we had this conversation in the WBC thread. No real defense for Chipper's playoff performance, though I tried.

Perhaps I'm blind, but I don't see the lack of hustle. Not as much emotion, but that can maybe be attributed to the injuries and just getting older. I don't think he's trying any less, maybe he's just not capable of any more.

Curious what you think of Andruw... his not running out ground balls and showing up out of shape bugs me more than anything Chipper does or doesn't do.
