Brewerfan/3TO Love is well known - LATEST: BtA meets 3TO

[Oldcity]

Sunday reminded me how muched I did not missed 3TO for the past couple years.

A GOLDEN SOMBRERO!!

 

If you're going to dock him for one game-full of strikeouts, you probably need to acknowledge his 1.163 OPS so far this season. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

[sheethead]

Yes it did! That's the reason we like him! There's not too many people who can draw a walk one day. Strike out 3 times the next, and then the day after that get a walk and a Homerun.

Wes Helms can do this.

[jeffy]

Why isn't getting hit by a pitch a "true outcome" also?

[rluzinski]

Branyan has hit into only one career double play. It occured when a CFer brought a would-be HR back into the park and doubled up the runner who had already crossed home play.

 

True story.

[joepepsi]

Ironically, his career splits aren't really that bad: .814 OPS vs. righties; .764 vs. lefties. His HR rate against lefties is actually slightly better.

[endaround]

They really are considering he loses 30 points of OBP. He still has the same power, he just hits for an even lower average and takes fewer walks

[Brian the Automator]

So today, a couple of former co-workers and I were headed down to Ardor Pub & Grill on Broadway for lunch, but it happened to be closed. So we walked up the street looking for somewhere else to grab a bite, and I always heard good things about Cubanita's, so we dropped in. I ordered my food and sat down, and sitting at the table next to me:

RUSSELL FREAKING BRANYAN.

 

Normally, I wouldn't disturb someone I've never met at a restaurant, because I respect their privacy, but this was obviously an exception. I told him about the site and that a fair number of us were enormous fans and disciples of the "Three True Outcomes". He sorta looked confused, but shook my hand anyway. At least now he knows who we are so I wouldn't be surprised if he at least out of morbid curiosity checked us out.

 

BEST LUNCH EVER.

 

EDIT: at the right side of the table is Ty Wigginton... with his back towards the camera is Doug Brocail.

Wow! That's freakin' sweet. Wonder if he'd even heard of 3TO before that. Automator has introduced Branyan to his own religion. Praise be to 3TO!

[JoeHova]

It would be hard to believe he never heard of the three true outcomes. I would have thought some announcer or somebody would have mentioned it to him, not to even mention what he would find if he googled himself. In fact, the Braves announcers talked about it (though not by name) yesterday, when they said he had the classic Russ Branyan day: a K, a BB, and an HR.

 

 

edit: anyway, cool story. Did you say anything to Wigginton or Brocail?

[ELCABALLO45]

THAT IS AWESOME

3TO dining with the enemy? TRAITOR!

[Brian the Automator]

Honestly, I didn't know who either of the other guys were at first (in street clothes, it doesn't often pop out at you). I _knew_ I recognized Wigginton from somewhere, but I was so distracted with Russell and his aura that I wasn't able to think fast enough.

True story.

My Bran-Crush just grew exponentially hearing that fact.

[crewcrazy]

3TO dining with the enemy? TRAITOR!

Branyan was merely taking the opportunity to gain their trust before ripping their hearts out on the playing field. Now that he has Brocail's guard down, I wouldn't be surprised to see 3TO take him deep in this series.

What happened during the other 16 career GIDP then?

Nice hoax web page.

Brian, do not wash your hand until I can come by your house and shake it!

[JoeHova]

The funny thing about Brocail and Wigginton is that Russ was a teammate of each of them in 2006, but on 2 different teams (SD & TB, respectively).

[hawing]

Brian, do not wash your hand until I can come by your house and shake it!

I only hope the handshake left you with enough of his DNA to allow a cloning.

That sounds like you're either getting too much fiber or not enough. Probably too much, in my opinion.

Normally there is no lighting in the restaurant. That is until the aura of 3TO enters to angels singing. I will go as far to say that Branyan sits at the side of Chuck Norris while Bob Sanders sits on the other side to finish off the Triad of Power.

[And That]

Russell Branyan is the only person who impresses Chuck Norris. However, Branyan is not impressed by Norris.

[craigharmann]

What about Bill Hall? Has he been replaced?

 

[jwill535]

Halls bobble head sits firmly on my mantle of hate here at work along with Turnbows with a sign that reads "Will pitch poorly for food"

Bill Hall can pitch?
