Thanks for the blogs DOB. But man, the AJC coverage of spring training hasn’t been much. No pictures (did I miss it because I haven’t yet seen pics of G. Anderson’s press conference), spotty game coverage.

Why Met fans here. Is a being reminded of story:
Cousin Alphonse get very very drunk. Coming home late, trying to get key in door to his apartment. Is too drunk and drops key. Luigi seeing him sitting under lamp-post. hey Alphonse, what you doing sitting under lamp-post. Alphonse: I drop the key trying to put in door to apartment. Can’t find.

Ok, I take the bait…What if the (hypothetical) Braves were never to face Santana anyway based upon how the schedule worked out? Probably not gonna happen, but we have done well against the Mets historically so I am not that worried, regardless. Frankly a win is a win, who cares who it is against. I will cite my earlier post saying that Phillies won a World Championship last year…were they complaining that the Braves didn’t have much of a starting rotation?

Jarryd: Francoeur didn’t make the trip. Neither did Chipper, McCann or Josh Anderson..
RIP SKIP, you wrote: “… but man, the AJC coverage of spring training hasn’t been much. No pictures (did I miss it because I haven’t yet seen pics of G. Anderson’s press conference), spotty game coverage.”
Well, glad you appreciate the effort. We’ve had one person down here for the past eight days, or since our columnist and photographer returned to Atlanta. Sign of the times, RIP Skip.
Times are tough, my man. Budgets are very tight. Newsroom staffs are shrinking. Papers are folding every day. The Rocky Mountain News just published its last paper on Friday. The San Francisco Chronicle is in trouble. The Seattle Press-Intelligencer might go under. We’re still covering every day of spring training, unlike some papers.
So to complain about not seeing photos of G. Anderson sitting at a podium at his press conference … well, hey, I respect your opinion, but we’ve got some bigger issues than that, my man. If AP shot the press conference and moved a photo, we used it. If they didn’t, we probably didn’t have a photo.
And as for “spotty game coverage,” it’s the first week of spring training games, RIP Skip. How long have you been following baseball, and when (and where) do you remember there being more game coverage of the first week of games? (Not to mention the fact that this is a longer spring than ever.)
You’ve got a lot of minor leaguers playing the last half of most of these games, many of whom won’t sniff the majors this season. The scores, while important to some fans, mean very little, if anything, to the teams, especially early.
They’re getting prepared for the season, and these games, particularly in the first weeks of spring training, are nothing more than glorified workouts where a score is kept and admission is charged.
I mean, we’re let into the clubhouse during games, to talk to the starting pitcher after he comes out of the game and, in the case of road games, often before he leaves the ballpark (most teams let starting pitchers, and some position players, leave early via their own transportation, before the game’s over).
This is not about writing game stories and “game coverage.” There are a couple of places online where you can get that, if that’s what you want. But between writing features, notebooks and blogs, there isn’t enough time for much “game coverage” even if we wanted to do it. Not this early. Later in spring, when the regulars are playing most of the games, yes, to a greater degree. But not now.
Just to give you some idea how it’s done elsewhere, when we go down to Port St. Lucie, the only writers in the pressbox are usually a couple of us out-of-town beat writers and maybe a guy from a Stuart or Port St. Lucie paper. The 20 or so writers and columnists from NY teams are sitting in the press room, watching the game on TV (if it’s televised) or writing and not watching the game at all.
Personally, I like to watch the game while I’m writing. But actual game coverage, as in accounting for scoring and all as if the game result was the important story of the day? No. When we leave Florida, the results of these games will mean nothing.

I’m a little confused on some Braves critics out there. They say we don’t have the offense, but say we have the makings of one of the best rotations in MLB. These are more than likely the same people that say pitching and defense win championship’s. Of course we Braves fans know first hand all about that, but just confused with their take. I honestly could give a f– what they say, except for a few that make some decent points.

DOB,
If you want to see something truly kick-in-the-gut hurtful, go to The Rocky’s Web site and watch their 20-minute video on the end of the paper. Got a little dusty here watching that.
I won’t take shots at the Cox clan (that’s the folks who own the AJC, not Bobby and his wife and daughter) – some papers, like the Globe, have a battalion of folks at spring training (Mazz, the chick beat writer, the backup guy, Ryan/Shaughnessy in and out) but they’ve always done that. Honestly, in the 25-plus years I’ve been reading the AJC, either with a copy in hand (no longer, since the cutback of the distribution area) or online, I can’t remember more than a writer and sometimes a columnist (maybe another scribe down there for very brief periods for feature pieces or preview stuff or opponent crap) being at West Palm or now Dark Star.

There’s no reason anyone’s need for unreasonable amounts of baseball should go unsatiated just because it’s March…
This blog is a damn fine resource for Braves spring training coverage and discussion. Hell, there are even player Q&A’s every now and again.
If this just isn’t enough to quench your unending desire for baseball, then surely the MLB Network and a DVR will do the trick. Pony up the extra $5 a month to the cable company and enjoy a 24-hour barrage of baseball coverage and programming.
After all, what’s the worst thing about Ken Burn’s Baseball documentary?? That’s right, it ends… Unlike MLB Network (which incidentally shows Burn’s Baseball as well.
And in case you haven’t heard, Ken Burns will soon release a tenth inning to Baseball. It will cover 1993 to 2008, and it will likely devote an unreasonable amount of time to the Red Sox. Nevertheless, I’m sure it will be an excellent follow-up to the orginal film, and it’s bound to mention the “team of the nineties” a few times.
If all of that is not enough, then… Well… Wait until April. Maybe read a book or something….

Wow, just saw the highlights of Blake Griffin’s performance tonight, that leap over the scorer’s table after returning from a concussion….
Regarding Johan: Not hard to imagine how much consternation there is coming out of Port St. Lousy over the Santana elbow. Think how Braves Nation felt about the John Smoltz shoulder situation early last season, turned up a notch due to the fact that the Mets don’t really have the equivalent of a healthy Tim Hudson in the rotation (which the Braves did when Smoltz got hurt), and also considering the size of the investment the Mets have in Santana, one of the very best pitchers in baseball.
They’ve still got a talented team and a great back end to the bullpen, but his potential absence, if it’s long-term, could be a crippling blow to the Mets with their otherwise less-than-overwhelming rotation.

You asked in the last blog if I got any autographs.
I doubt you’ll see this; but, the answer is, “I didn’t try”.
But, autographs are and were very available at Spring Training games.
In fact, you really see an abundance of patience, IMO, from some of the players, willing to stand for several pictures, etc.
I watched as Adam LaRoche stood for multiple pictures with a contingent from a group home. After the first picture (which took a while), the leader of the group said, “one more”, and you could see the first little look of surprise from LaRoche, followed by a quick change in expression that said, “sure, go ahead”. This went on for 3 or 4 shots.

Don’t be misled by my one example — I wasn’t talking merely about head to head with Santana, or even with the Mets.
And I wasn’t sayin that victory (any victory) isn’t sweet — only that the tougher yer opponents, the sweeter it is.
Yer correct — the Fillies got braggin rights and are indeed not complainin.

How about inserting Hanson as our 5th starter and making TG our top lefty reliever? I mean, he is older than last season and with a surgery in his arm. What are the chances of him making more than 20 starts? what are the odds of him making more than 25? What are the odds of him pitching more than 150 innings?
Instead, he can help us a ton in the pen since he is a veteran.
Maybe braves can make than kind of move if TG shows any signs that he is not gonna make it through the season or that he aint gonna pitch more than 4 or 5 innings per outing.
Thought?
I know some are gonna say that being a reliever is more stress than being a starter, but being a lefty specialist maybe is not as stressful, I even think its better for an old arm.

I’m sure Glavine would resist it, based on a combination of pride, self-worth, self-perception, etc.
MY main hesitation would be that it might be a humongous waste of talent — assuming he can still get RHs out.
As far as conserving his innings, that would probably come anyway as a natural consequence of his bein the 5th SP. Bear in mind that the rest of the rotation will have made two starts each prior to his first. I would expect him to continue to being skipped intermittently throughout the season — that would relieve some IP stress.
But like I said earlier — interesting. (But then they wouldn’t have ANY LH starters at all. Does that matter?

I was reading Mark Bowman’s blog and was amused by one of the poster’s wit.
Mark had mentioned that Andruw had been to bat 5 times (at the time of posting) and had struck out all 5 times. Some were commenting on Andruw’s decline and one guy said, “It would seem the outfielders that the Braves avoided signing this summer included the Dunn brothers, Adam, and Completely.”

Gonna rain here today, Braves hitting in the covered batting cages. Ed Mangan thinks they’ll get it in, but possible we could have delay.
