TnBrian What is Mac’s numbers against Johnson and that might explain why he’s not in there.

Pointless stat alert!
10 of the best one-season rotations ever (arguably, and not including Atlanta):
1964 CWS (3 in top 5 ERA) – no playoffs
1927 NYY (combined 3.13 ERA) – WS champs
1954 CLE (3 in top 5 ERA, combined 2.86 ERA) – swept in WS
1954 NY Giants (3 in top 8 ERA) – WS champs
1966 LAD (2.68 combined ERA) – swept in WS
1986 NYM (3 in top 5 ERA) – WS champs
1971 BAL (4 20-game winners, combined 2.89 ERA) – lost in WS
1988 NYM (2.92 combined ERA) – lost in NLCS
2003 OAK (3.42 combined ERA) – lost in ALDS
1906 CHC (1.63 combined ERA) – lost in WS
So, out of these, you have 3 WS winners. And I thought teams with the best pitching always won it all, in spite of the manager! Gee, maybe Bobby isn’t such an idiot…

JJ,
Norton is not Wren’s call. How much do you think Wren actually has invested in Norton? Bobby is out to prove that his decision about Norton was correct even to the detriment of this team. Bobby is at a stage where he has put himself before the team in order to prove he is HOF caliber. This is the biggest decision facing the organization at seasons end. Bobby or Frank

McCann should not have been asked to bunt…
If this is the case you pinch hit McCann with someone who can bunt…like a Javier Vazquez…
Now at the same time…I understand if Bobby wanted to try to surprise bunt em…
But the fact of the matter is…We need to get those runners into scoring position…second and third and try and remove the double play.
If it doesn’t work…it doesn’t work…
But at least it was an attempt to move up the runner and you avoid the DP…the errors were huge in the game yes…but that McCann AB was a critical part of the game…game changer really

Chewbacca/Barbaras or whatever his name is would be a much better pinch hitter than Norton. so would conrad. But diory has proved he cant hit. My thoughts would be to find the one that can make the best contact. That is the one you want to bring up. when they get a chance to hit in critical situations you want someone who can put the bat on the ball. Gorecki has played good outfield but has shown that he cant hit.

Is ERA the final determinant for “best pitching”?
It never has “seemed” to me that the best pitching alone wins the world series. However, when team’s have multiple power arms, that team often seems to gain an advantage in a play-off series, especially a short one (5-gamer).
Having to face the likes of Kerry Wood 2x in a 5 gamer, or Schilling and Johnson 4 times in a 7-gamer, etc., is a pretty daunting task, especially when you have a manager that seems afraid to do anything unconventional to put pressure on the defense.
Look at the Braves pitching. Smoltz was rarely considered to be the Braves best pitcher during the 1990’s; however, he was, with little doubt, the Braves best post-season pitcher, and one of the best post-season pitcher of all time.
Maddux and Glavine both had some huge games in the post-season, but in general, they were less dominating in the post-season (Maddux especially) than they were in the regular season.
Personally, I think if Steve Avery had continued to develop, rather than getting burned out, he and Smoltz might have become the dominant 1-2 punch that the Braves needed to reel off more titles.

Can one of the sports writers please ask Bobby Cox to explain why he continues to use Norton as his primary pinch hitter? The braves have more talent than the marlins, giants, or rockies but they cannot win close games when critical managerial decisions is the difference between winning and losing. This is the main reason the braves will not make the playoffs. Insanity– to keep dong the same things and expect different results ! Where is the fan outrage ?

Meant to post some notes on BMac vs. Josh Johnson for ya:
BMac hasn’t gotten a hit off Josh Johnson since hitting a solo HR off him in the fourth inning of the July 26th, 2006 game against the Marlins at Turner Field. Since then, he is 0-13 with 3 K’s.
Overall, he’s 5-24 with a double, a homer, 2 RBI, and 4 K’s against Johnson.

Did the Braves give up on Wainwright too soon? Yeah, but my God, it’s not like Glavine/Smoltz/Avery/Mercker were all traded off and won Cy Young’s for other teams. Doesn’t look like Hanson or Jurrjens will be traded any time soon, so the team has and is doing great with their young starters. Wainwright is one damn pitcher… so what and I guarantee he wouldn’t be 16-7 with this offense backing him every start. Jurrjens should have an equal or better record so note to AJC— we’re not losing sleep over him pitching for the Cards because we have two starters equal to him right now.

The AJC derives business, and therefore cash, from covering the Braves. Does it really make sense for DOB to badger and alienate Bobby? Why don’t you go kick your neighbor in the junk and then ask to borrow his car?
Why do you people insist on treating the Norton/KJ/Chipper/etc. issues like major scandals? It’s freaking baseball. Enjoy watching your pretty good team, or quit watching and go back to trying to prove there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll.

Liberty Media owns the Braves.
Liberty Media employs a Professional Major-League Baseball Manager, Bobby Cox.
Bobby Cox’s JOB is to win as many games as possible, and in doing so, make the most possible money for Liberty Media. Empty seats do not generate cash.
Bobby Cox should exhibit enough professional decorum to maintain a healthy emotional detachment from players. He can’t make unbiased business decisions (every move Bobby makes is a business decision) because of an unhealthy (decision wise) emotional bond with certain players. When he sends Ed Norton to bat with game on line, is that a sound business decision, or a decision heavily swayed by that bond? His overly-strong emotional attachment to players is a blatant conflict of interest. He’s obviously not doing his job in that regard…

So when the Braves need a bat in CF in Philly, where the outfield is the size of a high school outfield (according to one Brave)and there isn’t that much ground for the CF’er to cover, Bobby puts the kid in Center Field! Why? According to Bobby he likes the kid defense. His defense and range wasn’t really tested and his bat was pretty anemic.
Now they go to Land Shark where the outfield is the size of four football fields and the Center Fielder in fact DOES have lots of ground to cover and Bobby sits the kid and starts Infante in Center!

Shamus Thacker – Liberty Media own the Braves from part of a bussiness deal, as long as the Braves don’t totally turn into a money drain, they could care less. As owners of XM/Sirrius Radio you would think there would be more of a connection there, there isn’t. Ultimately once they have held on to the Braves long enough to satisfy the tax restrictions they have from the deal, they will sell. Liberty Media employs upper management, JS, McGurk, et al, who employ Bobby Cox, who will stay as long as he wants while said upper management remain. Simple as that.

nc scoots: when you took girls in dresses to the football games, did you wear cashmere pullover sweaters tucked into your pants, belted with a monogrammed, alligator belt to match your alligator, tasselled loafers? That whole scene was surprising to an incoming USoCarolina freshman from Hawaii. I was used to madras shorts and thongs to everything! Of course, that was waaaayyy back in the day.

MFin04, those numbers would get any other manager fired for just that. But no with Bobby and his increadible luck to have a healthy Maddox, Glavine, Smoltz(sometimes) & plug in 4 guy Avery, Neagle, Milwood for 14 yrs. Did I say that thing about a retarded monkey…… never mind. Despite not because my friends. Wake up.

Furman: Well, since this teams offense has scored lately as much as me on a Saturday night, please stop it. I really am a lonely fella, and my blow updoll, Isis, in in the shop, for repairs.

CaliChopper: Shamus Thacker – Liberty Media own the Braves from part of a bussiness deal, as long as the Braves don’t totally turn into a money drain, they could care less. Ultimately once they have held on to the Braves long enough to satisfy the tax restrictions they have from the deal, they will sell.”"
And you don’t think they care how much the team is worth when they sell? Or how much money they make in the meantime?
Playoff teams are worth more than October vacationers…

Isis is kind of an airhead, isn’t she?
