Pep Talkc Murphy and help him to get back his groove. TTie Braves are only batting .203 as a team, which is also last in the league, but they only had three weeks of spring training. So give them a chance. They'll come around. The acquisition of Jim Presley was a good one. The Braves now have a young third baseman who can field and hit. His .278 average is second on the team to Tread way s .279. The outfield is a fairly solid one with Odibe "oh to be young again", McDowell, Lonnie "Pillsbury" Smith and Murphy. The problem for manager Russ Nixon in his attempt to keep from being added to the long list of fired Braves managers is trying to find the right combination of players and grouping them together so that they will perform more like a team and less like a group of individuals. The Braves seem to suffer from a losing mentality. All of the hitters think that they need to hit a homerun every at-bat, and all of the pitchers think they need a strikeout every pitch, and this only adds to the problem. Sometimes I get the feeling that they are inct waiting for something had to happen to them. TTie lack of patience shown by the Atlanta press and fans only add to the pressure.

Go Braves ? And Take The Falcons With You Mathematical Elimination Fever ? Catch It! Atlanta Braves ? Still In The Major Leagues Come on guys, have some patience. To add to the comedy, the Braves front office has hired Jim Varney, of Ernest fame, to do some publicity work. Ha! Ha! Ttc nnt fnnnv mant To add to the Braves frustrations, they just happen to be in the same division with what I think is the best team in baseball ? the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds are playing as good as the Braves are bad. Maybe baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent will allow Pete Rose back in baseball and old Marge will fire Lou Pinella and ? well, you get the picture. The Braves just need a little good luck. As Braves announcer Ernie Johnson said "a four-leaf clover, a rabbit's foot, twelve runs scored and shutout pitching will bring a win every time." Well, the eternal optimist is through for now and since this is the last issue of The Gamecock until June, you won't have to hear any more Braves talk, But. . . .
