Atlanta Braves Notes, Quotes 2009-05-04
--3B Chipper Jones was originally charged with two errors Saturday, which would have been his first two-error game since March 31, 2003 at Montreal, when he was playing left field. However, the official scorer changed the ruling on one of the two plays the next day, making it a hit for Houston's Lance Berkman. Of the remaining error, Jones said, "Inexcusable. They don't come any easier than that. Just bad, bad infield play."

--C Brian McCann won't be playing for Class AAA Gwinnett until he gets his sports glasses and new hockey-style catcher's mask because that's the whole point of being on the disabled list and rehabbing: to find and become accustomed to a solution to his changing vision.

BY THE NUMBERS: 1.04 -- Bullpen ERA in 11 games from April 19-May 1. Through the first 11 games of the season, the relievers' ERA was 7.75.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "I hate being on the DL. I just feel like I'm not here." -- C Brian McCann, who is on the 15-day disabled list while he tries to eliminate blurry vision with new eyeglasses and a hockey-style catcher's mask that accommodates them.
