Zero HRs in the last 556 PA. That's impressive. I thought it would be fun to look at various players' HRs per PA for comparison.

So here is a list of how many PA's per HR these guys have over their careers.

Henry Aaron- 18.46

Javy Lopez- 22.3

Chipper Jones- 22.7

Michael Tucker- 37.5

Marcus Giles- 43.9

Luis Polonia- 147.11

John Smoltz- 233.4

Greg Maddux- 362.4

Mario Mendoza- 364

Otis Nixon- 527.3



Drum roll please...

Rafael Belliard- 1,262



This team is almost half way to Rafael Belliard HR futility. Anyone got any other interesting comparisons?

Fredi: "Why run around the bases to touch home, when you can stand and stay at home?"

You would think that someone would run into the ball and hit one out sometime or another. It tells you how awful these hitters are.

I'd put odds on that we won't hit another homer until we get out to Colorado? July 21-24.....believe! Reason to believe, though, the Braves could walk into one sooner at Philadelphia.

Freddie will lead the team with 16 homers... no one else will get double digits.

Ozzie Albies with a lead off homer today.. maybe go ahead and call him up and he can boost our power potential..

have 2 different bets with a friend while we were sitting there at opening day

Markakis won't hit more than 8 homeruns this year and that Garcia will hit 30 or more


i feel safe in both of the bets that i will win

Power is overrated. Speed is everything.
