just reading over what was blogged during the game yesterday…its nice to go back and see what happend. i find the anderson/norton debate pretty funny. one funny thing is doc holliday insisting that infante could cover 1B better than norton in case of injury…infante has never ever played first base in a MLB game. not one inning, not one play. so how would he be better at 1B than norton?
there is no reason to keep anderson over norton. that would be dumb, and would weaken this team. what the braves should do is carry 5 outfielders into the season (keep anderson on the roster) until glavine is ready to join the team around the 19th. putting anderson on waivers 2 weeks into the season might give him a better chance of clearing.
p.s. the +6 rating for the marlins defense has got to be a typo. they dont even have one player thats as good as escobar defensively. their infield is full of butchers. (cantu is not average, he is bad)

I know everybody is excited about Schafer as they should be.I still have a lot of concern about whether he is truely ready.A lot of times spring stats do not carry a lot of weight.My preference would still be to keep Josh and Jordan on the opening day roster.Surely we can figure a way to do this until we can get a little more experience for Schafer.

i agree with you on the over-specialization. i think it started pretty innocently. managers graded thier relivers and gave their best guy the job of finishing the game for them. when it gets out of hand is when a “closer” wont be used in another situation because it isnt the 9th inning, or isnt a save situation, ect. to me, you should know who your best relievers is, and use them when you need them. if that in the 9th, fine. if it in the 7th with a bases loaded situation, then use them! i often see situations where i think…its time to use our BEST guy. i dont care what his title is. the 9th inning might be the bottom of the order with the bases clear…weve got to get out of this first to have a chance to win this game.

I love most of their work, but their defensive FRAR analyis ain’t very good. Baseball prospectus’s defensive metrics ain’t one of the five most worth looking at.

We’ve got two other quality arms in Soriano and Moylan that I’m more than comfortable with pitching the ninth.
But…if you’re comfortable with those two in the 9th (and I would be, also), aren’t you just as comfortable with them in high-leverage 7th and 8th situations? If so, wouldn’t consistency of roles be an added value, as opposed to having all three pitch anywhere from 7th to 9th?
It’s an interesting question, for sure. As I said, I’m no huge fan of the over-specialization, either.
One thing: probably aren’t that many squads that could throw out three arms like healthy Gonzalez, Soriano, and Moylan, disregarding role altogether.

Well, I get to follow the game today. I’m off for 9 weeks. They closed our plant on a rotation system. We’ll be closed until June 1st, then they close another one. I’m glad I’ll have a job to come back to, and glad for the time off. This is my favorite time of the year. That Tiger Woods comeback yesterday got me ready for the Masters in 2 weeks, and I’ve been ready for the Braves to start playing games that matter. Plus, Who wouldn’t want Spring time in Georgia off? I’m definitely in for the viewing party at Jock’s and Jill’s next Sunday KC. See some of you there. I’m excited for the new HD programming that FSN, and Sportssouth are doing this year. If you haven’t heard, 99 of their 104 scheduled broadcasts are going to be in HD. Plus, all of the P-Tree(45), ESPN(2), and FOX(9) broadcasts are in HD as well. There’s 2 games currently not scheduled to air. One of them is most certainly going to be picked up by ESPN’s Monday night baseball (vs. Cubs on July 6th), and the other one may be an ESPN Wednesday night game.

Smoltz is playing golf again with Tiger later today.
By the way, Smoltz looks more fit, bigger in the upper body, than I’ve seen him in a long time. Said he’s been lifting weights, when Bobby asked about it. Diet and fitness regimen upgraded, and it’s obviously working. Seriously, he looks younger.
Was wearing a Georgia basketball shirt, by the way, when he came over to Braves dugout. I think because he needed something with red on it to wear with his Sox shorts for his workout, if he was going to be seen outside the clubhouse, etc.

Doesn’t appear to be any other way to go, based on the currently available info. I’d certainly be shocked to see Schafer hitting 1 on Opening Day. Maybe at the All-Star break.
I’d really prefer to see Johnson hitting at 3 and Chipper at 4, but I assume that’s an extremely unlikely scenario, even if Schafer were to hit leadoff at some point.

Yeah, I’d like KJ hitting third myself. He’s ready for it, and he’d be no worse than a league average 3 hitter. There are just too many lefties in this lineup and no one ready to assume the leadoff role besides KJ. The lineup would work better if they had Escobar second, Chipper fourth, Frenchy 6th so that it would be left, right, left, switch, left, right, left, left. Just don’t think Schafer is ready for leadoff yet. Josh Anderson ain’t really a leadoff hitter either but he’s just a pawn you let get chewed up and spit out at leadoff while Schafer is more of a rook or bishop and maybe later a king or queen that you try to protect down in the order when he’s first called up.

Agreed. The question is, which better makes him ready: 200 appearances batting 8 in the bigs, or 200 hitting leadoff at AAA? Don’t know, plus there are other variables involved that may or may not be more important.

Forigve the poor writing on the chess reference. What I’m kinda trying to say is that Jordan is back row royalty on the chess set that you protect and deliberate like crazy about before you move and expose. Josh and Gregor are front row pawns you throw out there for the slaughter in order to protect the back row royalty. Still poor writing on my part but, oh well.

Random, Richard Linklater wrote the sprawling script to Waking Life, but he is definitely Philip K Dick influenced. In fact, the climax (if a trippy cartoon dream-movie can be said to have a climax) involves a conversation about a story by PKD. And, if I’m not mistaken, the next movie Linklater directed in that same animation style (A Skanner Darkly? Something. Too lazy to google; that’s bad…) was based on another story by PKD. So, even though I don’t remember the digital clock business being credited to PKD (I like to type PKD… PKD… PKD…), it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s where he got it.

“Pawn – To the ill informed, the pawn, or foot infantry, was the most expendable of all chess pieces. As Paul Keres, Estonia’s chess grandmaster, once said, “The older I grow, the more I appreciate my Pawns”.
That was a quote from a chess book. Don’t be so quick to “ruin” Josh or Brandon–they could be saving us down the road.

Raindawg722:
I posed a related question about Francoeur going to another team’s hitting coach a couple of weeks ago. One of the other bloggers here (whose handle I now forget) kindly answered.
Basically, Frenchy PAID for that session with Jaramillo; paid him directly, with a check or cash or whatever. The ballpark figure was, like, $2000 a hour. Neither the Rangers nor the Braves organizations were involved. It’s like a little freelance side gig for the coach, and I know it’s not terribly uncommon. Now, if Frenchy had just been doing off-season work with TP, or another Braves coach, well, that’s all just part of the job description for the team and no money need change hands between the player and the coach.

Dave will probably send Guido over to break some of your fingers if you type any Ohman stuff again!
Overspecialization of the bullpen:
I have stated in the past, and definitely agree that you use your BEST guys sometimes first. It is hard as heck to get to the 9th, if you blow the lead in the 7th or 8th.
I really like the idea of a “stopper” for the bullpen, similar to what Moylan did in 2007. I say use the best guy for the situation, and don’t worry about who got some meaningless stat called a “hold” or a “save”.
Whaddya think?

This team isn’t going to hit anywhere near 200 HR’s, obviously, but they’ve got a good chance to top 160 as a team, and have a good chance to lead the league in team avg. and/or doubles.

If you really want to hear some whinin’ and complainin’, just wait until the season starts and for the Braves to lose 2 in a row, or for somebody in the pen to blow a lead, or for Frenchy to ground into a DP. Then anything Lew might do will be child’s play in comparison.

Contestant #1: “What is 14.5 inches of snow (and still going) reported at the Bismarck Airport in the past 15 hours, and headed DIRECTLY towards Fargo.”
Yup. Just when Fargo thought they were in better shape than first reported. Mother Nature decides to let everybody know, that in the end, the human race has ZERO control over this stuff.
Here in Bismarck, we’re at 97+ inches of snow for the “season”, 4 inches away from the alltime record, and the pundits expect us to break that record (easily) by mid afternoon.

With all this talk about absolutely needing Ohman (or another of his ilk) because we face so many good LH hitters, I figured I’d check something out. I don’t have the time or inclination to check everyone we face, but since Utley is prominently mentioned in such conversations, I thought I’d look up his Braves’ RH/LH splits. Many might find it enlightening.
Against RH pitching, he hit the hell out of Morton, Campillo, Acosta, Stockman and Parr. However, he only hit .200 against Jurrjens, and .000 against Bennett, Boyer and Vlad Nunez.
Against Braves’ LH pitching , he creamed Hampton, Reyes and Chuck James, but only hit .222 against Ohman.
Make of it what y’all will, but it looks like good RH pitching can get at least Utley out.

i cant take it anymore, no… I try to dream about more interesting things than baseball stats. =)
Of course… you can’t always control your dreams. One minute you’re in a pool with a young Christy Brinkley… the next moment you’re shooting pool with David Brinkley.
For realseys though, if you tell me which hitter’s “attainable stats” you find to be unrealistic, I’ll be happy to tell you exactly how I came to those numbers.

Wayne – I agree with you on your bullpen post. If the number 3 batter is leading off the 8th inning, that is more likely to be the inning of decision than the 9th.

Wayne…
I am ready for that! I was just giving Lew grief because he gets a lot of grief about all his bellyaching! (said good naturedly)

Bubdylan–
Yeah…my computer screen is all fogged up now…
KC–
Ease is right. Ya know, McCann did have five SB in five tries last year.

Ease19-I only whine and complain about those who deserve it. Actually, come to think of it, I complain and whine much less than many like Jeff321 does. For example, I’ve never laid a pitcher low for giving up two choppers off of home plate like Jeff 321 did yesterday.

Wayne, I’m fine. We’re in no real danger. Unless you count back pain, from snow-blowin’ all this heavy, wet snow.
Fargo, on the other hand….. Yikes.
But thanks.

i-can’t-take-it-anymore, KC’s predictions are never predictions. He’s the baseball Nostradamus version of the kid that puts his finger an inch from your face, saying “I’m not touching you… I’m not touching you…”
(smiling at KC, who is still out-homered by me any day of the week…)

Wayne-At least there has been no surge towards providing gallows or chopping blocks in the on deck circles so bloggers could have players summarily executed during an at bat.
Somewhat ironic that what those who claim that I whine and complain are whining and complaining about my supposed whining and complaining.

Nathan-Hell, at this point in time, Vermont should look good to you. We’ve been above 40 for three weeks now and the glacier has receded. Hardly any snow (comparatively) this year.

Lew – Honestly, I can only recall you whinin’ and complainin’ about others whinin’ and complainin’…which is totally understandable…MnFn04 (or something is the same way..as Jeff321)
