Kevin Millwood had another strong outing, striking out seven in 6 2/3 innings. He also had two hits. The offensive stars were Matt Franco, with three doubles, and Keith Lockhart, with three hits, including a double and a triple. As you can see, Bobby still doesn’t have any consistent group playing first and…

ESPN.com – MLB – Recap – Brewers at Braves – 07/30/2002

The Braves (finally out of the godawful bowling shirt throwback jerseys) won, in a game that was kind of a reversal of pattern. They fell behind early in the game, 1-0 — rather than jumping to an early lead. But the Brewers couldn’t add to the lead, and the Braves…

Site notes on an off day

I want to allow myself a certain amount of sillyness here, so bear with me. Skip over this post if you don’t want to deal with it.

I don’t really have any general Braves stuff to talk about, so a couple of notes on the site. One is that about two hours ago…

ESPN.com – MLB – Recap – Phillies at Braves – 07/28/2002

Sigh. Just one of those games. The Braves lost 7-1. They fell behind 2-1 early and had a ton of chances to tie or take the lead in the middle innings, but simply couldn’t get the hit. Then Tom Glavine tired and pretty soon it was 5-1, and the Braves’…

ESPN.com – MLB – Recap – Phillies at Braves – 07/27/2002

Well, back to normal, except for the uniforms. The Braves won 5-3, getting four early runs (two on a Chipper homer, giving him a mere 11 on the season) and holding on from there. Greg Maddux got the win, and lowered his ERA to 2.56. Given that, he was probably…

ESPN.com – MLB – Recap – Phillies at Braves – 07/26/2002

The Braves lost, 3-2. Kevin Millwood had what I call a “Bad Maddux” start, seven innings, three early runs, eight hits, one walk, and a loss. It’s a good start, but when the team doesn’t get any runs no one notices. Unless the pitcher has been going well, like Millwood,…

I got sick of the Albie Poll, so I went to a Vinny poll. I don’t know if these are as creative as the reader-suggested ones of the last poll, but they’re probably meaner.

If Wes Helms (starting against a lefty) has four hits, and comes up just the triple short of the cycle, you know the Braves are having a good day. They had a great day, actually, arguably their best of the season, scoring six runs in the first en…

ESPN.com – MLB – Recap – Braves at Marlins – 07/23/2002

The Braves got back to their winning ways, 5-3, in a game that to me shows some of the problems in the way pitchers are evaluated. In the first game of the series, the recap talked about how Greg Maddux lost for the first time since April; in this game,…
