By now those who follow Talking Chop on twitter should be well aware of the weekly Thursday night Q&A's surrounding the Atlanta Braves big league club with our very own stalwart Ben Duronio. Once again he fielded cleanly, as does Andrelton Simmons, many quality questions and here are some of the web gems from the night.
"@cmdod: @TalkingChop How do you feel about David Hale's chances for a strong season?" I like the low BB style. Solid back end guy.
