D-Lee hasnt been worth a flip with runners on base
What? You forgot about the double with McCann on base yesterday?

Man, Lee really leaves a lot of runners on. If we ever get a cleanup man that at least drives runners home once a game, this offense will be very productive, for the 1st three hitters always seem to be on base one way or another. Anyone have an idea of Lee’s average with runners in scoring position, and how many times in those opportunities has he struck out? Seems like a a lot.

As a Brave, D-Lee is 8-for-18 w/ RISP and less than 2 outs, but he’s 2-for-15 with 8 strikeouts with RISP and 2 outs

By the way, Lee’s not alone in hitting well with RISP and less than two outs, but not with RISP and two outs. McCann has hit .304 (21-for-69) with RISP and less than two outs, but .183 (13-for-71) with 23 strikeouts in those RISP situations with two outs.

DOB, thanks for the response. Does it sound reasonable for the Braves to add a player like Wes Timmons or Matt Young for the rest of the week, in case they need a late inning pinch runner or defensive help, like Booby mnetioned yesterday, on his concern with using Diory?

Makes perfect sense for them, I would have been shocked if they did pitch Halladay. He’s got a lot of innings, I don’t believe he’s ever pitched into the postseason and of the big three he was the one who had been struggling somewhat for his standards.
