How is Andruw Jones not voted into the HOF again this year? Only got like 58% of the vote.
That dude is one of the best center fielders of all time. This kind of play was just a day in the office for him.

Yep, chip was loyal. Sometimes almost too much. French and chip would have you wondering how the braves could ever lose a game. Made every player sound like a future hall of famer. Having the extra inning package, he's still better than a lot out thereHe’s the voice of the Cardinals now..
I will say that Frenchy has moved mountains compared to his first year in the booth. I think that once he got comfortable that he's been pretty good.
Was definitely serviceable. Never did make the needed adjustments at the plate like many. He probably had unrealistic expectations put on him coming up. Much like Hayward who never lived up to the incredible hype. Baseball media is always trying to crown the next great one.First year or two was tough...but when he started relaying his real MLB experience to the game at hand he became relevant. Despite what some believe he wasn't a bad MLB player.
Look up his stats sometime. He exceeded 100 RBI's twice and won a Gold Glove. Not a HOF'er but respectable.
Agree. If or when Andruw Jones gets in, that’ll be 5 HOFers on one team and Bobby Cox didn’t win a WS with that.Happy for Snit. Just signed a 3-year extension thru 2025. I realize it is much too early to be talking about it, but is his career, currently with over 1,800 major/minor wins, playoffs 5 of his first six seasons, 5 straight division titles, plus a WS ring, worthy of HOF consideration?
I think now, no. But three more 90+ win seasons, plus 2-3 playoff runs, and maybe another WS title, would get him there.

an automatic strike concluded a 6-6 tie between the Braves and Red Sox
Plate umpire John Libka ended the game when he issued the automatic strike with the bases loaded, two outs and a full count against Braves second baseman Cal Conley. Libka ruled Conley wasn’t ready to hit in time.
a batter must be in the box and alert to the pitcher when there are eight seconds on the clock. The catcher has to be in the box behind home plate with nine seconds on the clock, standing or crouched.
Cal Conley of the Atlanta Braves thought he had just won the game with a two-out, bases-loaded walk-off walk on Saturday. He took a few steps toward first base, bat still in hand, when umpire John Libka jumped out from behind the plate and indicated strike three.
Conley, facing reliever Robert Kwiatkowski of the Boston Red Sox, wasn't set in the box as the clock wound under eight seconds.
The penalty is an automatic strike, which led to the game in North Port, Florida, finishing in a 6-6 tie. Kwiatkowski got the strikeout after throwing only two real strikes.
Hate to hear that about Anderson. Maybe he can get it turned around...sure hope so.
Well, Acuna is stinking it up in the WBC. Thats not good.
Saw where they sent Anderson to the minors. Was hoping he would regain form.
