Braves Bench Conrad for Game 4

You have to feel for the guy.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Brooks Conrad is not in the starting lineup for Game 4 of what could be his club's final game of the National League Division Series on Monday night against the Giants at Turner Field.

Instead, Troy Glaus was at third base and Omar Infante at second a day after Conrad set two NLDS records by committing three errors in Sunday's 3-2 loss. The Giants lead, 2-1, and can wrap up the best-of-five series with a victory Monday.  Glaus is not known for his defensive prowess either.

Conrad's three errors also tied the overall single-game postseason record shared by 11 other players.

Conrad wasn't available to comment on Monday, but after the game on Sunday, he stood tall and faced the media.

"It's completely embarrassing," Conrad said. "Once again, I felt like I let everybody down. I feel terrible. It's a whole lot to swallow. That last one, I tracked the whole way and tried to stay in front it at least. It seemed to go right through me. Weird feeling, but no excuses. It was a terrible performance tonight.

Glaus has played in 128 games this season for Atlanta, mostly at first base, batting .240 with 16 homers and 71 RBIs. He's played only two innings at third base all season and hasn't started at the hot corner since 2009, when he played for the Cardinals. He did play some third base during a one-week rehab stint at Triple-A Gwinnett the last week of August after recovering from inflammation in his left knee.
