John Kincaid was ripping Kruk for still wanted Smoltz traded, yesterday. Torborg was saying how the hitting is contagious…all the guys in the lineup are benefiting from this run…and it may spread to the pitching as well. Usually Torborg seems to talk much about the guys he knows, like the guy who played 3rd fro SD Sunday. Seems like he’d have plenty of material, as many Braves games as he’s done lately.
ARod used to have perfect throwing form…point, step, strong overhand throw. The other night he was flipping the ball. Haven’t heard anyone talk about that. Chipper has basically the same flip often times…sometimes with similar results, though often saved by LaRoche.
Tonight it’s Clemens and Maddux, right? Highest combined win total in history.
Added some pictures to my blog last night…making that long Cooperstown post even longer.
Also added some pics to a June posting about the day at the lake.
Would be nice if we could outscore them tonight.
We got the Charlotte paper ever day last week at the beach. Their minor league team sent a knuckleballer to the minor league all star game in Ohio, the one where Marte won the HR derby. The pitcher did well in the all-star game. He had dropped out of ball as a regular pitcher, took off 2 years, and made a comeback with the knuckler. The CWS hired Charlie Hough as a spring tutor. The guy was called up in May to make a spot start, but didn’t fare well that one day.
I’m working in Charlotte some next week, so I’ll check the Knight’s schedule. Anna may go with me, to spend the night with a neighbor that moved up there.
Funny story about the KC all-star game, where Buck O’Neil got traded after walking in the top of the first.
