2014-04-01 Braves (Wood) at Brewers (Lohse), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-2]

[FVBrewerFan]

Sorry, it's just weird not seeing Yuni's name 187 times every IGT.

[topper09er]

Thank you for apologizing

[jjkoestler]

Just flipped on the game and saw a GoGo walk. Love to see that.

 

Keep bringing the trivia, Topper.

 

Prince hit 50 in 2007.

[topper09er]

It's a Braves franchise question. Prince is the answer for the crew so good work on that

[Baldkin]

Who is the only Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Brave to hit 50 HR in a season?

 

One of my all time favorites. The other Mr. Jones. Chipper's twin brother, Andruw.

Correct, Aaron, Mathews and Chipper never got to 50.

 

 

Who is the only Brave to win back to back MVPs?

[topper09er]

Who was the only non-Brave to win the NL Cy Young between 1991 (Glavine) and 1996 (Smoltz)?

[hawing]

Saw the FSWI replay of the Polish going down hard in the sausage race. Ouch.

[jjkoestler]

Who was the only non-Brave to win the NL Cy Young between 1991 (Glavine) and 1996 (Smoltz)?

 

The Mad Dog with the Cubs.

nice work on the trick question

[topper09er]

Who is #2 and #3 on the list of career manager ejections after Bobby Cox?

[owbc]

Is Lou Piniella on that list?

 

Meanwhile, nice start for Lohse tonight, too bad the offense is non-existent.

[topper09er]

On the all-time single season HR leaders by position list (edit: to be clear, not counting pinch hit HRs or HRs hit at other positions that season) the Braves have 2 leaders, who are they (the HR total is the same for both of them)?

Sweet Lou is 11th on the list

Who is the only Brave to win back to back MVPs?

 

Dale Murphy. I loved Dale Murphy and grew up with a plaque of his two MVPs.

[Baldkin]

On the all-time single season HR leaders by position list (season total playing >50% of time at the position) the Braves have 2 leaders, who are they (the HR total is the same for both of them)?

 

I can name the leaders for almost every position fairly confidently (I think), except 2B and C... so I'm guessing it's those two positions but no idea who it would be.

[craigharmann]

Zach Duke is looking fantastic! I think he will be a great help to the bullpen!

 

Nevermind.....

[BuckyBrewer61]

Earl Weaver and Connie Mack for most ejections?

[TURBO]

Nevermind.....

 

should be in blue perhaps?

Until the HR, he was looking good and I was serious. Now......not so much.

[trwi7]

Token bullpen gas can this year is Zach Duke. He is also the guy that Roenicke is going to have way too much confidence in for some reason.

It is C and 2B

Weaver yes, Mack no

 

LaRussa?

[jjkoestler]

Duke looked good until Freeman's HR. He will be fine as LOOGY. (Early season optimism blinders on)
