PrintAtlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants, Aug 6, 2008 3:45 PM EDT
If there is such a thing as a mercy rule in baseball, then it may have to be applied in this game. Chuck James versus Tim Lincecum -- the results could be eye-popping.
The old Mr. Glass did pretty good last night. Too little too late, but maybe he's upping his trade value and we can get some sort of middling prospect for a team desperate to replace an injured starting pitcher.

ahahahaahahhaa chuck is gonna die, no matter how much the giants offense may suck
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
hellllllllloooooooo
its been a LONG time since i’ve been on here…. man, i was getting the shakes.
this is going to be brutal
i’m still confused as to how bengie molina beat out escobar’s throw.

escobar has more errors than kelly. just sayin.

errors are a stupid stat.
I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

johnson has a higher RF, but escobar has a better ZR. and “thumbs” tends to refer to the fact that he makes a lot of errors. so yeah
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
Well…errors are extremely subjective so I don’t pay attention to them anymore. With that being said, the reason he’s called “Thumbs” is because he looks like a butcher out there. I was the #1 anti-Kelly person on this site b/c of his defense, but after looking at how BP rates him…he’s playing well above average and is actually almost equal to Yunel is every stat:
Escobar
Rate: 109
RAR: 21
RAA: 8
Johnson
Rate: 108
RAR: 22
RAA: 8
And now for some comparison’s to the two Gold Glovers of last year (all stats below are 2008 stats):
Jimmy Rollins
Rate: 99
RAR: 11
RAA: -1
Orlando Hudson
Rate: 113
RAR: 28
RAA: 13
I apologize Kelly!

Hey Lemke..
yeah there is something wrong with Chuck James, HE SUCKS!!
The Braves...
...really need to close the book on Chucky. He’s proven to be nothing more than a AAAA pitcher at best.
hopefully he’ll be nontendered or traded this winter. maybe dayton would take him on…i mean, he’s got HORACIO RAMIREZ as well as davies and mahay over there
Following the Braves...one long hard drink at a time.
Well..
...non tendered seems more like it. I don’t think we could even get a bucket of balls for him at this point. Unless someone is in need of organizational filler.
They're...
...always teams looking to add filler. Hell maybe the Long Island Ducks or some other Indy team could use him.
I wonder what his...
...over/under is for sticking around for 2009. I shudder to think about it really…
