I can't say that I ever thought the Braves had the team. I think they got lucky when they went on a tear, and now that they're back to earth, they can't seem to win anymore. --- InterEcho 1.19 * Origin: Deacon Blue's, Fritch, TX (1:3825/21) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DEW00000 Date: 10/26/96 From: ED GRINNELL Time: 02:53pm \/To: TERRY MAY (Read 2 times) Subj: Braves Terry May gave up a long homer to Otis Nixon and said: TM> Geez, back to this "back up against the wall" nonsense! Let's hope this TM> new tradition of winning on the road continues. Given the fact that they're back to not scoring and they've got the man that they don't seem to score for on the mound, I'm not too confident. I have to give New York credit for coming back but you have to wonder what in the hell Wohlers was thinking about when he threw that slider (The only thing that I've disliked about him is the fact that he gets too damn cute and doesn't trust his stuff as much as he should). --- TrekEd 1.00 * Origin: Johnson and Norm, then pray for a storm (1:170/1701) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DEW00001 Date: 10/26/96 From: ED GRINNELL Time: 02:58pm \/To: TERRY MAY (Read 2 times) Subj: Monday-morning Managers Terry was hit by a Randy Johnson fastball for uttering: TM> What am I missing here?

While *I* think it would have been better to let Bielecki thrash about in the 8th and THEN bring in Wohlers, if he fails to get anyone out, I can't argue with bringing in Wohlers. --- TrekEd 1.00 * Origin: Marge Schott, the cure for Baseball Fever (1:170/1701) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DEW00002 Date: 10/26/96 From: ED GRINNELL Time: 03:08pm \/To: HANNES ZIERY (Read 2 times) Subj: Red Sox Hannes was waived by Sparky Anderson and then ranted: HZ> Especialy in the first part of the season most of his possible wins HZ> were blown by the Bullpen. The Red Sox are still one of the best HZ> offensive teams in the MLB. You have a point because his expected record up until August 4th should have been 7-8 instead of 4-11 (Which is in great contrast to Wakefield, who had a record of 8-10 but should have had a record of 5-13. The bats were booming for him). The bullpen was a factor, however, the hitting was an even more important factor. Had they hit as well for him, the bullpen would have been even less of a factor than it was. HZ> Yes but Aguilera didn`t want to stay in Boston any longer and the closer HZ> market was not so big. I think they acquired one of the best available. Only if he puts together a *full* season. HZ> Slocumb went 5-5 with 31 saves. He had an ERA of 3.02 with 88 SO in 83.1 HZ> IP and limited opposing batters to an ERA of 222 Aguilera was 2-2 with HZ> 20 saves. He had an ERA of 2.67 with 23 SO in 30.5 IP. Better of course HZ> but he had not to go in so much Save situations cause the Bullpen worked HZ> much better in 95. The bullpen was NO better in 95, the difference was Aguilera. Aguilera got in quite a few save situations but your perception is skewed because you're not taking into consideration that Aguilera was pitching for Minnesota for 40% of the season. Aguilera moved guys into the long relief roles that they were more suited for and immmediately brought stability to the bullpen, Slocumb didn't start doing anything until the team was out of the race. The Red Sox were around the .500 mark in save opportunities before Aguilera came along and then they stopped blowing saves. The team was around the .500 mark again this year and that was WITH Slocumb. It wasn't until they were out of the race that they stopped blowing saves. --- TrekEd 1.00 * Origin: Striking a blow to purists (1:170/1701) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DEW00003 Date: 10/26/96 From: KYLE DEDRE Time: 01:54am \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: base i think that pat hengten should win the cy young he is like the best in the american league --- Telegard v3.02/mL * Origin: The DEATH ROW BBS * 204-253-1517 * Winnipeg/Canada (1:348/919) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DEW00004 Date: 10/26/96 From: KYLE DEDRE Time: 01:55am \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: base but i think any starting pitcher on atlanta can win the cy young they are so good --- Telegard v3.02/mL * Origin: The DEATH ROW BBS * 204-253-1517 * Winnipeg/Canada (1:348/919) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DEW00005 Date: 10/26/96 From: KYLE DEDRE Time: 01:56am \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: base I think taht atlanta will win the world series because they are a powerhouse. --- Telegard v3.02/mL * Origin: The DEATH ROW BBS * 204-253-1517 * Winnipeg/Canada (1:348/919) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 234 BASEBALL Ref: DEW00006 Date: 10/26/96 From: KYLE DEDRE Time: 01:58am \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: base I think alomar should of been suspended in the playoffs. if it was some nobody he would of being suspended --- Telegard v3.02/mL * Origin: The DEATH ROW BBS * 204-253-1517 * Winnipeg/Canada (1:348/919)
