Read this post on a Braves' message board...


If you remove the pitchers the team only has 151 strike outs

also if you remove the two guys not really playing much (Goss and CB -- they have the fewest AB's) then the team looks like this... Remove pathetic EY and the team looks like the second set of numbers..

AVG ---- .260 --- .269
OBP ----.334 ---- .344
SLG ---- .412 ----- .424
OPS ---- .746 ---- .768

this is excluding last nights game. pretty much our regular starters are raking right now. Those numbers include Gomes in there too, who really isn't a starter. If CB could pick up his game a bit this team could score some runs.

**edit** also, CB, EY and Goss have 24 ks to only 9 BB. That is 2 and a half Ks to every walk. Where the rest of the starters (excluding those three) have 127 Ks to 81 walks.. or 1.5 Ks to every walk.. that is a really big difference and the reason you don't see them in there much anymore. Like I said above. CB will play because of his defense and Julio pitching to him... so he needs to snap out of his <funk..
