the ninth inning of a shutout for him to go in” Smoltz’s new life as the stopper was created in part by an elbow injury that caused him to miss the entire 2000 season He originally returned as a starter but switched to closer midway through last season when his right elbow couldn’t take the strain of working six or seven innings at a time But Smoltz is convinced his current role is hardier on his arm than starting He’s pitched in 71 games this year “I mean if die trend all year were like these last two weeks then it would be a piece of cake” he said “But you don’t know how '! many games you’re going to get” He blew his first save chance of the season giving up eight runs in one inning against the New York Mets on April 8 Smoltz has remembered that performance all season using it for motivation a reminder that anything can hap- pen “Just to know that it’s possible every time I go out that I can’t take this role or that inning for granted”he said “You can’t say it will never happen again You never know” It hasn’t happened lately He saved 25 consecutive chances from June 3 until Aug 7 when he failed to hold a lead against Arizona The Braves came back to win that game — they are 45-- 0 in his last 45 appearances — and he’s saved 12 in a row since then Last December when Smoltz signed a $30 contract with Atlanta he million three-yetalked about reluctantly agreeing to remain in

kind of game the Rams and Bucs ‘ pm late-inni- ng right-hand- er ' Will he eventually get used to it? “No” he said emphatically " Going into the weekend Smoltz had pitched in only three of Atlanta's previous 14 games saving them all to increase his season total to 52 He was one short of the National League record shared by Randy Myers and Trevor Hoffman and five shy of the major league mark Bobby Thigpen set with the Chicago White Sox in 1990 Smoltz already has joined Dennis Eckersley as the only pitchers with both a and a 50-saseason Smoltz reached Nos 40 and 50 this season faster than anyone else He broke the old Braves' record of 39 saves back' on Aug 8 Mark Wohlers had set that mark in 1996 the year Smoltz won the NL Cy Young Award with a 24-- 8 record as a starter “He can set the

leaves the bullpen at Turner Field and heads to the mound his appearance is greeted by heavy metal music blasting through the stadium’s sound system The Jurtibotron above the scoreboard shows lightning striking a hill and the result is the word “Smoltz” spelled out in lire It’s a recent innovation at The Ted a nod to the most prolif-ic closer currently in the game But even as he closes in on the major league record for saves Smoltz hasn't gotten used to his new role And he may never fully embrace it ‘‘I’m not used to it because it’s still a role that as you can see in the last two weeks I haven't pitched much" the Atlanta Braves said “Not much you can do about it but wait it out” pm AHL KENTUCKY-Sig- 7 3 12-3- 4 5 0 8 5 1 14 1 0 Oil TCMifb be HR” IP & Oil FloydN Agbyml 1
