I’m sure he will redeem himself with 2 outs and Nick Green on and … oh never mind.
Even more improbable (from ESPN’s Gamecast):
Play By Play: Furcal batting, 5 balls, 0 strikes.
If it’s possible for a player to lose a game all by himself, Furcal sure is giving it a good try today.
Bases loaded in the ninth, one out, Furcal up to bat. Doesn’t look good?
there’s a little redemption in the 9th…
If he hits into a double play here, MLB needs to launch an investigation.
REDEMPTION! The reverse jinxing finally paid off! 😉
…and all is forgiven.
Andruw just popped up on the first pitch with the bases loaded and a chance to get insurance. A typical Andruw at bat with men on base. Drew flies out to deep left; if Andy does that, it’s a run.
Heck of a win. This is the difference between the Braves earlier in the year and now, they are finding ways to win instead of ways to lose.

Andruw Jones 2004:
OPS: 856
OPS w/ runners in scoring position: 804
OPS in Close and Late situations: 1026
Chipper Jones 2004:
OPS: 742
OPS w/ runners in scoring position: 838
OPS in Close and Late situations: 478 (4 for 39!)
If you are going to make incrediably annoying comments like this all the time, maybe you could bag on the other Jones for a while. At least then you would have some facts to back you up.
I think Furcal made up for it, no?
The close and late stat is surprising; a fairly small sample, but I still wouldn’t have called it. The bases loaded stat you give is based on only 12 PA, but I wouldn’t have even predicted that.
Andruw with RISP, 2004 and career: 221/355/442, 261/358/450
Andruw with RISP and 2 out, 2004 and career: 156/325/281, 215/347/387 (over 700 PA)
Andruw with bases loaded, career (since you already posted 2004): 291/308/393
The bases loaded stat you give is based on only 12 PA, but I wouldn’t have even predicted that.
Actually it’s not a bases loaded stat, it’s a – as it says – stat with men in scoring position which is based on 136 PAs. So while small sample size caveats still apply, it’s not quite as meaningless as a 12 PA stat.
