Hope this is precautionary for Fowler

1) pretty sure that was announced prior to today's game

2) If THAT is our plan if Dexter misses time, it's pitiful

You're right, Jesse tweeted it 7 hours ago. Thank God.

Brett mentioned the possibility of him being a designated base runner in the playoffs. I didn't know he was that fast, but that'd be interesting. Not sure he'd be any better equipped than Szczur though.

In his big league career, he’s stolen 25 bases and been thrown out exactly zero times. In his minor league career, he’s at 351 steals and 84 caught stealing, which is already great, but it’s gotten even better in recent years. Since 2010, he’s stolen 178 bases and been caught just 34 times. This year, he was at 35/6. The guy has become not only an exceptionally prolific base stealer, but he’s exceptionally efficient at it.
