Cox said that this is not a record to be proud of. But I like his attitude in the field for trying to protect his players.

最近的比賽不管贏或輸、表現好或壞，真他馬的越來越好看了，今天的比賽又殺死一堆細胞 (Recap)。I almost gave up this game after Wickman's poor performance, but wait ..... Chipper hits a game winning double after 10 minutes.

依慣例附上今天的 Game Graph (referred to FanGraphs)。

Braves WPA leader: Yunel Escobar .376 ( runner-up: Matt Diaz .134)
Goat: Bob Wickman -.189 (runner-up Jeff Francoeur -.132)
Most decisive play: I'll give credit to Yunel Escobar for his nice catch in the ninth inning, he saves at least a run.
Most decisive pitch: Every pitch Bob Wickman made in the ninth inning!!
Total contribution by the hitters: .537
Total contribution by the pitchers: -.037

John Smoltz 七月 4 GS、27 IP、2.33 ERA，被 Soriano BS 一場，只拿到 1W-1L；八月繼續他的壞運氣 3 GS、19 IP、4.74 ERA，被 Mahay & Wickamn 各 BS 一場，拿到 0W-1L。七場有三場被牛棚搞砸 .....
BTW, perhaps Andruw should be benched or put on DL for a while, he needs more rest or adjustment for Braves sake.

我看過國外報導最接近「霸氣」的單字是 "intimidating"，這是個形容詞。如果討論棒球捨棄那麼多的技術層面不去探討，卻使用這種沒有邏輯的形容詞來比較球員，實在是很可笑的一件事。
