 TM> I guess Lonnie Smith's base running prowess was "physical."
No, but putting a junkball pitcher (Liebrandt) into a ballgame against the 
best junkball hitting team in the league, to face the best junkball hitter 
(Kirby Puckett) in the league sure as hell was.
And a game lost to the actions of a player are more acceptable (to baseball 
people, anyway) than those of a coach or manager.
And whose fault is it that a baserunner doesn't know to look to the COACH 
when 
rounding second base? Even  little leaguer knows to do that, and they don't 
earn millions to do it. The reason the Braves are so bad at fundamentals is 
because they have no one teaching it to them.
