And sure enough, mere days later, McMillan and Chatfield started hitting long balls regularly. It was kind of funny because I believe Chip shared a story that Cori told Pete she always starts seasons a little slow. Annika has mostly done a very nice job in the field. Overall you have to be impressed. Her bat has perked up a bit lately, too. Pete has done a nice job of balancing letting her hit as much as possible but pinch hitting for her in certain high leverage situations. But indeed, others stepped up in Castine’s absence.
