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?

Oh... and I forgot to mention that it's fun to watch

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

 

[UNCBlue012]

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.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

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.

With 2

 

[sturg33]

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

 

[bravesfanMatt]

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

Who breaks the drought??

Wisler!!

 

[msstate7]

Wisler!!

Hit one, not give up one. You were on it though

 

[Braves1976]

Who breaks the drought??

Garcia or Freeman is my guess.

 

[goldfly]

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.
