-=> Quoting Ed Grinnell to Stephen Frazier <=-
 EG> Stephen was hit by a Randy Johnson fastball for uttering:
 SF> I didn't see Brown all year, but I heard or saw every game the Braves
 SF> played. Maddox, as good as he is, tends to make ONE mistake per loss and
 SF> that is the mistake that kills him. Smoltz makes LOTS of mistakes, but
 SF> they are usually non lethal ones. As a result, Smoltz gets into more
 SF> trouble, but pitches through it better than Maddox, who gets into hardly
 SF> any trouble at all.
 EG> For a guy who says that he heard or saw every game, you certainly
 EG> don't show it. ANY mistake the MaddUx made was lethal because he got
 EG> damn little in run support. Smoltz could afford to make mistakes
 EG> because he had a lot more to work with in terms of runs. His mistakes
Gee, Ed. YOU read it again. I do believe you just quoted me almost verbatim.
 EG> caught up with him more later in the season as he stopped getting 7+
 EG> runs per game. Give MaddUx that kind of support and he'd have had a
 EG> year every bit as good as Smoltz.
We won't know until we know, right?
