Sure, like Ron Gant wasn't completely out of line.  If I were Hirschbeck, I would have ejected, in order, Ron Gant, every single last Brave who came onto the field, and possibly Bobby Cox, depending on the language he used.  Since Cox was the only Brave rung up, I suspect I would have thrown him out too.  You simply cannot show up an umpire like Ron Gant did.  It is disrespectful of not only the home plate umpire, but of the dignity of the game.

Rogers is the "one-batter lefty" in the bullpen.  Dusty has also said he trusts Rogers to get the final out in a ballgame where Beck is unavailable, so you might see a couple of saves for Kevin.  Then again, if any of the regular rotation falters, Rogers is a possible candidate to start, though this would appear less likely now that Dave Burba did well in an emergency start.

What a shame about >    Charlie Hayes, huh?  Actually, according to the DA information posted by Sherri, Boggs is superior defensively to have.  Here's their Defensive Averages for the last five years: [compared to average at 3b, AL]              1988        1989        1990        1991        1992 Boggs     .643[+2]    .659[+47]   .550[-54]   .653[+33]   .634[+32] Hayes     -------     .601[-40]   .622[+18]   .606[-14]   .574[-28]  If Hayes is a defensive standout at third, he's done a good job in disguising it.  To put it another way, compared to an average third baseman last year:  Boggs converted 11 more grounders into outs, turned 2 more double plays, and prevented 11 doubles.  Hayes let 12 more grounders go by for hits, turned 6 more double plays, and prevented 4 doubles. --  Dale J. Stephenson |*| (steph@cs.uiuc.edu) |*| Baseball fanatic

They were indeed 6.5 up with 12 to go, but they won their final two games after the horrid 10-loss streak.  The final game victory (Bunning's 19th win, if memory serves) kept the Reds from tying for the title; they and the Phils were both 1 game behind the Cards, with the Giants(?) another game back.  The Mets couldn't hold an early lead against the Cards that final Sunday, or there would have been a 3-way tie.  Too bad they couldn't have saved some of the 15 or so runs they scored on Saturday when they crushed St. Louis. --

Just a few lines about my favorite team sweeping the Dodgers (one of  my least favorite) in LA (Sweet!).  Also the Mets (my other least  favorite team) loss to the Rockies made this this a great day and a  great start to the weekend as the Cardinals are on the ESPN tonight.  Big Lee Smith is having a great start and the Cardinals seem to be hitting in the clutch even though they have had a few games with lots of hits and not many runs.  Hopefully with the coaches stress on situational hitting in spring training, the runners LOB will be lower this year (probably due to the high strikeout numbers by Jose and Lankford and Zeile's off year).  I don't know why all the fuss about the Fillies.  The media and all the  Filly fans on r.s.b forget who is right behind them in the standings.   Give the Wild Thing a week or two before he starts blowing some games  and we'll see who is in first then.  I believe the Cardinal pitching  staff is more complete than the Filly staff and that will make the difference.  On a side note, a few years ago (5-6), a comment was made by some  baseball player or manager about the Dodger defense.  He was asked  where to hit the ball against the Dodgers and he replied "Fair."  I  remember it being in the "They Said It" section of Sports Illustrated. I would like to know who said it and what issue it was in.  GO REDBIRDS!!

A little delayed, but in the interests of fairness (stats from Elias);         BA    OBP   SLG  R  HR RBI RNI  %   outs Alomar .310  .405  .427 105  8  76 264 20.5 419 Baerga .312  .354  .455  92 20 105 316 21.2 480  So we see that Baerga has a large advantage in RBI (runs batted in), RNI   (runners not driven in) and outs.

For most career K's with one team, if it's not Ryan, perhaps Steve Carlton. With the Rangers, Hough was there for a long time.

In some other article,(Mets trivia), it could be Tim Leary in at least the losing to all teams, maybe beating all of 'em too.  Probably Seaver and Koosman fit too.

I tend to agree that players are not hurt by early play in the big leagues. The BRaves organization is a fertile ground to test this hypothesis, as they had little talent on their roster for some time.  Steve Avery, for example, was rushed to the majors, and he fared very poorly during his initial campaign. His subsequent pitching has not been affected by his 5+ ERA during his rookie year.  Bill James pointed out that it was relatively unusual to struggle so and then rebound.  Bob Horner was also rushed to the majors (out of Arizona State directly) had good numbers immediately.  I am not certain of the ages of people like Pete Smith, Craig McMurty, and Derek Lilliquist.  The Braves pitching staffs were so bad when they came up that they might have been rushed.  Lilliquist and Smith struggled, but it didn't hurt PS and DL may have been overhyped.  I seem to recall CM pitching well initially, though I don't have stats handy.

So THAT'S what happened to Denny McLain.  Sad.  For those of you who are interested, another baseball pariah, Pete Rose, has a weekday radio show on the Sports and Entertainment national radio network.  I think it's 3-5 PM locally, 6-8 PM on the East coast.
