dtpollitt, you made my day by recognizing the logo!
Yes, I am an undergrad…a sophomore specifically, so I guess I am the baby of the bunch.
When did the others graduate?

Lilly going 7 IP and saving our bullpen for tomorrow and Marshall, if necessary
Riot pulled early to get a breather
Ward with a PH-hit
I hate but use PP…at least it’s image rather than bullet point-driven. I’ve actually got something to say but they’ll be nodding off anyway so all applause gratefully accepted.
I guess I thought this stat existed…not just blown saves, but as a gauge of bullpen quality. Because a bullpen can lose a lead, or have it become tied, and still get the win. Does this make sense?
…and played in 148. A little low for a full-time starter, but it’s not like he’s getting worse at stealing bags as the season has worn on. He sucked eggs at stealing bases in April.
But I still dont get it. Pitchers pickoff moves are their pickoff moves. I mean did tey invent a new kind of move in the last year that Ryan hasnt seen?
The other quick-and-dirty indicator of speed that I use (triples as a percentage of non-home run extra base hits) has actually gone up a tick this year. Doubles as a percentage of hits has gone way down, though. Ellifiknow.
50 quick arm motions from the middle of the infield for the old guy on the raised hill to the guy squatting behind the white diamond-shaped dirt covered thingy

Not really
You put unnecessary pressure on him
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
Can anyone think of a worse ump in MLB than C.B. Bucknor?
DeRoMyHero - August 14, 2008
Darrel Cousins?
Joe West?

Joe West.
But Bucknor is right up there.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Angel Guzman?

LOL
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
THAT...WAS...AWESOME
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Nope...
… he’s actually calling those outside pitches balls, unlike what Glavine got ten years ago.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Glavine needs to understand that
Its not 1998 Anymore, Theres no one swinging at that outside part of the plate tonight
Galvan316 - August 14, 2008
Drat.
DeRo should have taken that pitch.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Come on DeRo
that probably was ball 4
Galvan316 - August 14, 2008
Well, it is a game 3...
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
Oh, man. That's cold.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
sorry. couldn't help it.

Let's get the result of THIS game 3 to be different!
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
+1
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
Rewound and watched again
It was a strike
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
Gameday says strike.
Inside of the first strike anyways
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
But 3-1 you still take one that close
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
3-1 is a hitter's count
Too close to take.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 14, 2008
The only time "too close to take" count is with 2 strikes.
In hitter’s counts you can afford to be picky.
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
That pitch was too close to take
Hindsight is wonderful, isn’t it?
Not Bruce Froemming - August 14, 2008
Defensive much?
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
Only when confronted
by a very odd statement.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 14, 2008
Glavin @ 28 balls thrown from 66 feet away
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
At this pace he'll be out of the game in the fourth inning.
Pitch count for Glavine likely to be limited to 85, said Len
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Well, this is his first game since early June, right?
I don’t even know if he’s gonna last that long…
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Like the 2 runs
but we should have gotten more.
salparadise23 - August 14, 2008

When was ATL this bad? Early 80's ?
Employee22 - August 14, 2008
late 80's...
… just before they started winning in ’91. Remember? They were the original “worst to first” team.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Most of the 1980's, I think
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
They made the playoffs in 1982.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
right on the cusp
of when I started paying attention…
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
are you a
walking baseball encyclopedia?? i love the game…but you take it to another level, lol
preachermancubsfan - August 14, 2008
LOL
If you think I am, you should talk to Mike. I ask HIM whenever I don’t know something.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Late 80's...
…but a lot of that is due to injury.
Clutch16 - August 14, 2008

dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
OK...
… understood. I just wasn’t sure what you were looking for.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Im sorry
I took it not as a question but just as a comment…..
Sorry sir
Galvan316 - August 14, 2008
Yeah, no worries
I guess I thought this stat existed…not just blown saves, but as a gauge of bullpen quality. Because a bullpen can lose a lead, or have it become tied, and still get the win. Does this make sense?
Dan
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Just blown games
Like when a team has a lead and fails to keep it.
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Oh.
I don’t know of any site that has that. You might try baseball-references Play Index tools.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Glavine walked Theriot
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Glavine cracks me up
He’s so used to having a 21" wide plate, that he thinks he’s being squeezed when an outside pitch is actually called a ball.
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008

californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
This is like throwback time for me
THESE are the Braves I remember from the 60s’ 70s and till about 1980. Not very good. Let’s see how the fans react over the next few years in Dixix.

Wait till you see what Theriot just did.
jbau - August 14, 2008
Ugh
salparadise23 - August 14, 2008
what's the deal with that??
joeschmitt - August 14, 2008
Theriot picked off.
Bad baserunning play. He should never do that again.
There, gary varsho. Satisfied?
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
You forgot to throw an "or else" on there
Clutch16 - August 14, 2008
Maybe I'll do that in the recap.
Think he’ll be satisfied then?
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
I think he'll laugh
He should, right?
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
No, I wouldn't.
It was silly to say it about Soriano, and it’s silly to say it about Theriot.
gary varsho - August 14, 2008
No sense of humor, then?
I guess I"m not surprised.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
I laugh
at things that are funny.

Like arguing semantics
in a baseball blog?

Because It was funny :)!
Galvan316 - August 14, 2008
No, Al, that's not right -- you weren't paying attention
He BETTER never do that again
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
I think you mean, "He had better never do that again"

Damn, we need a sarcasm font here.
But 1000 BCB points for using “pusillanimous”, and another 1000 for spelling it right.

this is what keeps me here

Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Me...I sorta "run" things around here.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
Yeah
This is true. It’s the rules, you can’t change ’em.
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Hmmm.
I better check into this.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
sorry Al
“Employees of SBN, BCB, and its properties, sponsors and their immediate families are not eligible to win points”
stadiumguru - August 14, 2008
That's four confirmations
This is definitely a rule of the BCB Points & Sweepstakes Eligibility Requirements, as defined in Section 184 Code B Subsection Q.
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
and it's in bullet-point seven
stadiumguru - August 14, 2008
Sheesh.
I better go change the rules while I still can!
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
What are you implying here?
gary varsho - August 14, 2008
Be nice to Theriot...he didn't mean to get picked off...again...for the second game in a row.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
I have a feeling if this was Soriano...
…the masses would be up in arms about his lack of focus/drive/etc
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Rammy used to get that too.
But since he is a god among men, that crap has stopped.
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
Soriano watches long fly out.
Theriot picked of/CS. Just another day in the life….
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
Theriot will make up for it with his glove and arm in the bottom of this inning.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
no his range
joeschmitt - August 14, 2008
LOL
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Seriously. What happened to Theriot? He once had a great SB/CS ratio. Now he sucks
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
It's all the weight he's put on to increase his power....
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
You're not saying ...
jbau - August 14, 2008
Are all the blooper singles to right going to his head?
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Hell, they barely go to the outfield
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
Or maybe he's upset
at his failed attempt at a porn-stache.
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
Look pretty good to me.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
needs more LaRue
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
That is scary.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
no likey
sue369 - August 14, 2008
ITSA MARIO!
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
Way ahead of you.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
Glavin @ 38...better inning for him
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
That still won't get him past the 4th.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
They've been doing a nice job
of waiting him out. And Bucknor isn’t giving Glavine the outside corner.
Not Bruce Froemming - August 14, 2008
While we were yakking about other stuff..
… the first two Braves in the 2nd were retired.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Francoeur singles with two out.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Al
Of all the games at Wrigley you’ve been too….
What was the worst and best promo item you got?
Galvan316 - August 14, 2008
The best was that guitar I won last year...
… the worst… hmm. Has to be all the keychains. I really don’t need any more keychains.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
how'd you win a guitar and do you play?
Emelie - August 14, 2008
Scratch off card.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
rigged.
joeschmitt - August 14, 2008
galvan u r so creative
that would be a decent topic for a fanpost
joeschmitt - August 14, 2008
Yes, it would.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
I will post one after the game
Thanks
Galvan316 - August 14, 2008
what?
joeschmitt - August 14, 2008
Yes, it would.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
oh.
joeschmitt - August 14, 2008
How did that one post twice?
Weird.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
welcome to SBN land
Emelie - August 14, 2008
there goes the perfect game
AND the no-hitter
joeschmitt - August 14, 2008
I really like Francoeur...and he's just bombed this year
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Crap.
Kotsay triples, Francoeur scores, 2-1.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Kotsay triple
2-1
jbau - August 14, 2008
there goes the shutout
joeschmitt - August 14, 2008
Mark Kotsay was awake long enough to hit the ball and run all the way to 3rd without stopping?
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
Kotsay runs like he doesn't want to spill hot coffee
Employee22 - August 14, 2008
Lilly should plunk him in his next AB.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
Someone on the Braves will wear one tonight
Employee22 - August 14, 2008
A hot coffee-stained jersey?
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
Settle him down Geo
sue369 - August 14, 2008
dang and... yep
Emelie - August 14, 2008
throw
glavine a strike please
LT - August 14, 2008
Tell me your not going to walk the pitcher Ted...please....
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
Sigh.
He did.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
-no hitter-
cubswgnrocks - August 14, 2008
?
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
THE OLE WALK THE PITCHER TO GET TO THE LEADOFF HITTER TRICK!!
I HAVEN’T SEEN THIS FOREVER!!
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Funny
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
Sorry about that, Chief
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
works pretty good sometimes!!
LT - August 14, 2008
It worked!
Escobar struck out, inning over.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Escobar
Major hack….. noun
Employee22 - August 14, 2008
c'mon Lilly
Emelie - August 14, 2008
whew
Emelie - August 14, 2008
come on Ted
sue369 - August 14, 2008
thank you
get some runs!!!!!
sue369 - August 14, 2008
WHOO-HOO!!!
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
Lilly getting squeezed while Glavine gets a foot off the corners?
Is that happening?
CubFaninNY - August 14, 2008
Nah...
… I think Lilly was just a little wild.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
looks to me like this umps strike zone is not consistent
both ways
LT - August 14, 2008
I think Glavine's actually upset
he’s not getting his usual foot-off-the-corner call tonight.
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
let's call that a turning point!
LAcarl519 - August 14, 2008
I call it 3 bullets dodged.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
a glass half full...
LAcarl519 - August 14, 2008
Ted Lilly says to Escobar...
YOU’LL GET NOTHING AND YOU’LL LIKE IT!
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
YEAH!
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
Whew!
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
Wow
2 cute girls…
astroview - August 14, 2008
Amen.
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
Now lets rough up Glavine for a few more runs
before they take him out…
LT - August 14, 2008
Glavine @ 38, Theodore @ 33
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
AAAAAAHHHH...creepy albino-man TV commercial AGAIN!
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
Clay Aiken promo?
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
zekalman
that is not you, I hope.
jbau - August 14, 2008
FUKU!!!
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
-1
sue369 - August 14, 2008
Can't call him Dome?
He prefers that
Emelie - August 14, 2008
-1 on "FUKU!!!" - damn - rough crowd.
Alrighty then…
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
it has
been discussed thoroughly here
preachermancubsfan - August 14, 2008
I call him that at home
but not here or else you really get called on it.
tucsoncubsfan - August 14, 2008
Just saw D-Lee's slide from last night for the first time
Awesome.
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
Dome single...
he’s trying to win back his starting spot.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
D'oh May! D'oh May! D'oh May!
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
he's not single....
he’s married :P
tootle - August 14, 2008
Someone please describe to me the circumstances behind Theriot's CS.
Been required to do work for the past hour or so.
cwyers - August 14, 2008
Picked off
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
So you're telling me the Braves can read Theriot's scouting report...
…and Ryan Theriot can’t?
cwyers - August 14, 2008
He IS from Louisiana.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
Oooh, low blow
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
They're from Georgia.
cwyers - August 14, 2008
What the hell
13 SB 2 CS in a 1/4 season of ABs
28 SB 4 CS
18 SB 11 CS <—————————What is gong on here? Is he injured?
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
I think he's lost a step
playing everyday. That could just be me though.
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
He played every day last year though!
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
Really?
I thought he was the full-time starter beginning this year. Then I have no idea.
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
Theriot started 127 games last season...
…and played in 148. A little low for a full-time starter, but it’s not like he’s getting worse at stealing bags as the season has worn on. He sucked eggs at stealing bases in April.
cwyers - August 14, 2008
Maybe he switched cleats.
Contacts?
Jocks?
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
Yes.
In his head.
cwyers - August 14, 2008
Funny.
But I still dont get it. Pitchers pickoff moves are their pickoff moves. I mean did tey invent a new kind of move in the last year that Ryan hasnt seen?
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
Seriously, though.
The other quick-and-dirty indicator of speed that I use (triples as a percentage of non-home run extra base hits) has actually gone up a tick this year. Doubles as a percentage of hits has gone way down, though. Ellifiknow.
cwyers - August 14, 2008
Lee single...
trying to win back his #3 hitter status.
santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
lol
Galvan316 - August 14, 2008
he's also not single....
tootle - August 14, 2008

californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008

LT - August 14, 2008
Gotta give credit

chitownhawkeye - August 14, 2008

santoswoodenlegs - August 14, 2008
I think he ran
astroview - August 14, 2008
Ran, I think.
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
He hopped.
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
Hop-skotched.
Kind of funny actually.
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
Double handspring layout
with a twist. Stuck the landing too!
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
Finally...somebody
stuck a landing.
sue369 - August 14, 2008
Now, not falling off a pommel horse
thats tough!
californiachicagoan - August 14, 2008
Ouch
I like it
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008
It seems like the Cubs have the ability to win every single game.
cubswgnrocks - August 14, 2008
I can't believe you just typed that.
(KNOCKING ON OWN HEAD)
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
50 quick arm motions from the middle of the infield for the old guy on the raised hill to the guy squatting behind the white diamond-shaped dirt covered thingy

Please put up a goose egg here for us Ted...

Uh oh - come on, Ted.

Worse than bases loaded?
