Both Eddie Christian and Cheatle were in the on-deck circle, but Cheatle made his way to the batter's box. A minute later, he was rounding the bases after his third homer of the season tied the game. The Steelheads went on to beat the Bullfrogs 7-6 on Paul Torres's homer in the bottom of the 10th. Eddie Christian is standing right there, and he's one of the best hitters in this league. The bottom line right now is winning games, so whatever is going to help us win.
Most players say that line with ease.
Cheatle lives it every day. He's also the designated mop-up pitcher when the Steelheads are getting blown out. And he's not bad, either. He's playing outstanding. And he's starting to muscle up.
