I would like to know how schilling got a save the other night. score 11-7. Schilling comes in 2nd and 3rd. He walks the bases loaded. Then gets out of the jam. WTF. He tried to fantasy **** me. I didn't think you could get a save in that situation.
if the guy in the on deck circle represents the tying run when you come in, you can get a save and that's what happened here.
All due respect but please give Bruntlett 4 more years of stellar play, giving it all for the team, being the epitome of team player before comparing him to The Great Bill Spiers.
Yes, if the Braves are playing the NL East teams, that is well and good, but I'm hoping they lose all the other games, to bring them down to the pack as well, in case a team like Philly goes on a tear.
I agree. Mentioning Spiers and Bruntlet names in the same sentence (as in that context) is both premature and somewhat disrecpectful to Billy. Let Brunt do his thing for more that 2 seasons then we can talk. He has to hit well and consistently through a full season as well.
Well, I know the first inclination is to expect a sweep over the Pirates. But their kid who's throwing tonight has been stellar. And Roy O has been average at best over his last 3 starts. Let's hope the dead arm is better. With the Nats going to Coors/Phills facing Peavy and SD/Marlins facing Lowry(who shut us down), we have a chance to gain so more ground with a W.
Actually, when saves first became an official stat in 1969, all a reliever had to do was finish a game to get a save, regardless of the score or situation. It is the modifier of the "save" stat that would laugh at him.
