Another day, more late inning heroics give the Braves a win. I’d like to get back to the scoring seven runs in the first and just cruising for the last nine. I find those games less stressful. But, I got to say, if a double in the eighth is what it takes to win, I won’t object!

Greg Norton has started the last five games in a row. I don’t know how to check this, but I have to guess that’s pretty rare for Norton, a player who has only once topped 335 plate appearances in a season. Anyway, what’s remarkable is that he’s, well, not very good. In particular, Norton is (1) a very, very bad outfielder, and (2) a very, very bad hitter from the right side.
