OK, so I originally had this idea earlier in the season and totally forgot about it. Then Amazin Avenue had something similar, and it reminded me to do it.
As you know, a different blogger gets each series that the Braves play. In the beginning of the year, Gondeee, Pacgnosis and myself (mvhsbball) all spent time covering the series. Then Gondeee had to head off to the big times with SBN Atlanta and BenDurino was brought on to the team. So without further adieu, here are the standings for the season between the four bloggers:
Ben: 13-9, .590%
Jacob: 23-16, .589%
Martin: 12-5, .705%
Scott: 20-19, .512%
So in other words, Gondeee brings the wins, Jacob and Ben are consistently good, and I suck. Everyone already knew that though.
This will be updated at times throughout the year. Stay tuned.

DFA SCOTT
NOT A WINNAR
Erihury - August 15, 2010
hmmm
Scott=KK. A stint in the minors might do you some good…
hawves - August 15, 2010
Hey c'mon, he's above .500!!
Glass half full
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
i find this very interesting actually
JKowalek - August 15, 2010
Gondee
Proven Winnar!
Scott must be like the KK of this bunch.
Bronn - August 15, 2010
Scott better step his game up for the stretch run to the playoffs
Otherwise, he’s a candidate to be non-tendered in the offseason, and will likely get picked up by the KC
BravesRoyals blogleedawg - August 15, 2010
this is excellent!
scorby911 - August 15, 2010
So Martin is Huddy.
Ben is JJ.
Jacob is Hanson.
And Scott is Lowe?
ATLforlife - August 15, 2010
no russ ortiz
JKowalek - August 15, 2010
Pretty much.
Scott Coleman - August 15, 2010 via mobile
I'm not a red-head,
but I’ll take that comp any day of the week.
Jacob Peterson - August 15, 2010
I’ll allow it.
BenDuronio - August 16, 2010
I am the baldest of the group, so the Huddy comp fits.
gondeee - August 16, 2010
SCOTT STINKZ TRADE HIM!
MBL1 - August 15, 2010 via mobile
If you want a win, you should put in Hemmerling
Bronn - August 15, 2010
Hemmerling for Mitchell?
Go back to Cincinnati!
forgotten_glory - August 15, 2010
aaaaaaand BANNED!
atl192485 - August 15, 2010
I like how this post includes just barely enough information that those of us who don't know people's first names can logic it out.
:-)
AllSaintsDay - August 15, 2010
Home run Reyes. 1-1. Bot 3. Beat the phillies to a pulp, mets
MBL1 - August 15, 2010 via mobile
may be hard to do
atl192485 - August 15, 2010
Yuck,
A team OPS of .600?
ATLforlife - August 15, 2010
LOLMets
MBL1 - August 15, 2010 via mobile
Anybody else thinking back to that “The Mets are the team to beat because they’re getting Beltran back” article? Yeah, those were good times. LOLMets

joe morgan
said statistical numbers. my head is about to explode
lingsched - August 15, 2010
He haz teh bead on itz.
Tim Goad - August 15, 2010
That Diamond Trax is awesome
never seen that before
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
what's diamond trax?
atl192485 - August 15, 2010
On ESPN
It times the runner going from 1st to 2nd on a steal, then a combination of the throw home + the throw to 2nd. Then compares the two, and it shows whether the runner was safe or not, was pretty damn accurate on Reyes steal that was a blown call
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
interesting...
although i can think of a few problems with it
atl192485 - August 15, 2010
Yeah, I don’t know how seriously they would ever use it, but it was pretty accurate on that steal. I’d be interested to see it used more often, even if it’s only for the announcers to use
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
well
that throw was pretty accurate, it would be off if the throw weren’t as accurate, right?
atl192485 - August 15, 2010
Not necessarily
Because I’m pretty sure it’s timed from when it leaves the catchers hand to when the tag is put on, so the throw wouldn’t matter as much if they base it off the tag
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
did’nt joe morgan say that there was a 8/10ths of a second gap between when the phillies middle infielder (forget who) caught the ball and made the tag?
atl192485 - August 15, 2010
Could have, didn’t hear that part, either way I still think it’s pretty cool. I’m calling for more testing to see how accurate it really is
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
moar joe-isms
“He gets in there before the throw, and that tells me that he’s safe.”
Oh Joe, you are so smart!
MBL1 - August 15, 2010 via mobile
Him and John Madden must be related somehow
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
joe morgan = JM
john madden = JM
QED
atl192485 - August 15, 2010
We should use that as a torcher strategy
Put people in a room for days listening to games done only by Joe Morgan and John Madden
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
PERFECT!
but why not play some Justin Bieber music too?
MBL1 - August 15, 2010 via mobile
It think we just collectively solved our terrorism issues. Someone send out the memo!
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
Joe & Jon are arguing over arguing
MBL1 - August 15, 2010 via mobile
“It wasn’t like he blew the call totally”
No Joe, he half blew the call, the other half he got right, wtf
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
“You can’t go out there and argue the call!”
“Well then why did he go out there?”
MBL1 - August 15, 2010 via mobile
so apparently you can now drop bunts while being two feet in front of the batter's box
atl192485 - August 15, 2010
MLB Umpires suck
So yes
KJDH2154 - August 15, 2010
Where do I vote Haithcock, fatazfoot, and Baseball Greastest?
TradeAndruw - August 15, 2010
now that I think about it,
it really speaks to the strength and consistency of the team that all four bloggers have winning records. This is all about winning series’, and that’s what the Braves have been doing so often this year. Sweet!!!
scorby911 - August 15, 2010
oh and Scott,
you’re doing a great job, but I’m sure it’s just poor run support and sloppy defense backing you up.
scorby911 - August 15, 2010
the KK comparisons are getting stronger then
forgotten_glory - August 15, 2010
I really need to win the last game of this Dodgers series to pass Ben. I know I won’t catch Gondeee (what a mark!), but I can at least make a run for second.
Oh, and Scott— you’ll rock it during the stretch run, I know it. Great players succeed when their team needs them most.
Jacob Peterson - August 15, 2010
Lol
Watch us get swept by the Nats this week.
Scott Coleman - August 16, 2010 via mobile
Mets lose
oh well.
Bronn - August 15, 2010
In an alternate universe,
they won, however.
So there’s that.
UMDBHIK - August 16, 2010
I didn’t realize that results were dependent upon which particular brand of lazy journalism was available for the day.
Good to know.
UMDBHIK - August 16, 2010
I feel like my post-Braves-victory celebrations and/or block parties just got a lot easier to plan.
Sarahbeth - August 16, 2010
Haha
I like that.
UMDBHIK - August 16, 2010
If it makes you feel any better, Scott
Your recaps are perhaps my favorites to read, even if we have lost almost half the time. :)
Sarahbeth - August 16, 2010
Thanks!
This lazy journalist appreciates the kind words.
Scott Coleman - August 16, 2010
Hey Scott - but your dog is adorable.
That has to count for something. :-)
And, there should be points for Bravery – because you join us in the GTs more than the rest :-)
