  • The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club February 2019
    The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ February 2019 By Dave Badertscher; photos by Linda Lovejoy The Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club held its annual Gameboree banquet and fundraiser on Saturday, January 19, 2019, at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest at Galleria. This year’s theme was “All-Stars, Gold Gloves and National League Honors.” More than 180 Braves fans, honored guests, and Braves officials turned out for the Fan Club’s largest event of the year. Emcee Paul Byrd (pictured below) was a big hit. The reception and silent auction opened at 5:00 with a fine selection of Braves and other baseball memorabilia. Thanks go to Silent Auction and Raffle Coordinator Nate Morgan and his crew, as well as to Fan Club members who generously donated items. As usual, all proceeds go to the Phil Niekro Scholarship Fund. This year guests in the Auction Room were entertained by Braves organist Matthew Kaminski. Quite a nice treat! Once everyone was seated for dinner in the Cobb Ballroom, Fan Club President Howard Evans introduced the guests and award winners at the head table. Atlanta’s favorite tenor, Timothy Miller, sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” During dinner folks enjoyed a slide presentation highlighting the Fan Club’s many fun and worthwhile activities over the past year. Following dinner, Howard thanked Club members who were involved in planning, organizing, and setting up this year’s event, especially Gameboree Program Coordinator Wayne Coleman and Logistics Coordinator Judy Messer. Howard talked about upcoming Club activities in 2019, including six monthly social gatherings in the SunTrust Cabanas, our Major League trip to Washington, DC, on June 21-23, and minor league trips to see the Rome Braves and the Gwinnett Stripers this summer.

  • Padding the Stats: a Study of MLB Player Performance in Meaningless Game- Situations
    Padding the Stats: A Study of MLB Player Performance in Meaningless Game- Situations Evan Hsia1, Jaewon Lee2 and Anton T. Dahbura3 Department of Computer Science Johns Hopkins University Abstract This paper presents the concept of Meaningless Game-Situations (MGS) in Major League Baseball (MLB), defined as situations in which a team has a 95% chance or greater of winning the game given the score at that particular inning in the game. We determine the run differentials for each inning that yield a 95% chance or greater of winning the game based on 2013-2016 MLB statistics and look at individual batter performances under MGS. We argue that including a split for MGS in major baseball statistical references should be considered. I. Introduction Hope springs eternal, especially in the game of baseball. But should it? Perhaps the absence of a game clock in baseball, unlike other major sports, creates the illusion that anything is possible, and in particular that one’s team can overcome even the largest of deficits, even late in the game. And, indeed, significant comebacks from behind are possible, but are so unlikely that in some cases they’re considered to be historic. For instance, in the game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies on June 8, 1989 the Pirates scored 10 runs in the top of the first inning. The Pirates’ radio broadcaster, Jim Rooker, proclaimed that if the Phillies were to come back from the 10-run deficit he would “walk home”. As fate would have it, the Phillies ended up winning the game 15-11, prompting Mr.

  • Snitker 36-Year Witness on How 'Content of Character' Is Byword For
    Snitker 36-year witness on how ‘content of character’ is byword for Braves’ success By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 Never is the quality of charac- ter in a ballplayer more need- ed than the trail of tears through the postseason just commencing. Baseball is the ultimate game of failure, and never are the odds more cruel than in the September stretch leading to the October minefields, trip- wires aplenty waiting to blow up proud 100-win teams long before they reach the World Series. A 1980s get-together of then-Durham Bulls manager Brian Snitker (left) with Hall of Famer Luke Appling, a Braves Cynics can lambaste the At- minor-league hitting instructor, and Snitker's sister Angela lanta Braves all they want, rip- Snitker Jachetta. Photo courtesy of Brian Snitker. ping the achievement of just one World Series victory in the nearly three decades they’ve ranked as the gold standard of scouting and player de- velopment. And yet the fact the Braves have continually replenished themselves from within has kept them almost constantly in contention, which is the object of the game, anyway. You can’t be in position to reach, and win, the Fall Classic unless you’re also within hailing distance of first place or the wild card. The Braves almost always have had both in sight. Serving as a model for underachieving Chicago teams seeking to build back their farm systems, the Braves have had just one short dry spell, in the late 2000s. That’s a stellar record beginning in the Reagan administration when the likes of Ted Turner, Bobby Cox and Paul Snyder invested money, time, effort and people in out-developing almost every other team.
