Atlanta Braves III

Beat. The. Cards.

At least it's not a lefty.

Truth.

I still think I would start Ross. Not going to happen, would be an upgrade on defense especially with Mac's gimp shoulder

I hate the cardinals

Memphis Card fans are the worst

Ben is throwing hard. 94-95.
Wish he would come out of pen.

.303/.401/.529

Chipper career line. Just silly.

Dbake, are you a closet braves fan?

 

[005]

I was a Braves fan when I was younger. I appreciate greatness in pretty much all forms.

Sheets threw 10 fastballs in the first inning. All were above 93 mph and the last one topped out at 96 mph -- Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman)


Seems like a good way to end your career. He struck out his final batter.

I meant to watch a little of him but didn't know he was only going to go one inning. Missed it.

He was pretty emotional. You could tell he was going all out, and trying to throw as hard as he could for one inning. Nice ending for a good talent and guy.

Pinch hit single for Chip

.303/.401/.529

Chipper career line. Just silly.

Chipper: .401 OBP, .303 BA 1,623 RBI's 549 DBLs 1,618 R

.529 SLG 2,725 Hits 468 HRs


Mantle: .421 OBP, .298 BA 1,509 RBIs, 344 DBLs, 1,676 R

.557 SLG 2,415 Hits 536 HRs.


Chipper played in 2498 games and Mantle 2401. Arguments can be made that Chipper had a better career than Mantle.

Ehhhhhhh.

A worn out tape of Chris Leroux......

With the advancement of scouting, video, bullpen specialization, and pitching in general, I'd have no problem saying chipper is better than mantle. However that'd be unpopular and controversial and well, we just don't make those statements around here.

On the whole, athletes are bigger, stronger, faster, better today than they use to be.

Mantle was a Yankee, Chipper played in ATL.. so Mantle is better IMO.

Kimbrel faced 231 batters this year and fanned 116 of them.

I don't get paid to work with numbers or anything but I do believe that is a shade north of 50%

First time in the history of the game for a pitcher to K half or more of all batters faced with more than 50 batters faced minimum.

Yeah, they should probably put him on the postseason roster and keep him next year.
