GARLICK: if it’s just spring training and not worthy of terms like “climactic,” then why are you wasting your time on a braves messageboard on an off-broadcast day? hmmm? i think people care more than they would like to make it look… too cool for school. personally, i’m excited as hell and proud to admit it and that’s why i’m on this dumb message board, because it’s the closes I can get to MY BRAVOS!!

I remember that happening once to smoltz….getting thrown out on a would-be hit to RF. Don’t remember the year, but it was a while ago. May have been philly or montreal. Think it was on the astro-turf.

“I threw out a chick from LF at first ”
Well, I threw a chick out for not letting me get to first, and she thought it came out of left field. Is that the same thing?
Anyway, agreed, Brandon. JJ will be fine. Sounds like he’s struggled a little with command on his fastball, but it’s 3 weeks to opening day. He’s not one I worry too much about.

Coastal- if you were given the contract that Hewitt was given after the ‘04 run (under our old AD who never had the you-know-whats to fire Chan Gailey), you would have no incentive to create a winning team either. His contract auto-renews at the end of each season to be a 6-year, roughly $6 million deal. In other words, the only way to get rid of him is to either fork over a huge sum of money (which we just gave to Paul Johnson) or have him quit. In other words, he’s not going anywhere for awhile.

No cphizzle. I always thought about throwing the slower girls out if I had the opportunity. I hadn’t played ball for 2 years and my arm was stronger than it ever was. It’s just that when i finally got a chance and did it, i wish i never had done it.
It was one of those instances where people look at you like you’re some kind of jerk. I honestly felt bad. She was a good hitter, just not that fast. Should’ve conceded the hit in a tourney like that and with her getting the hit she had.

Hewitt was never a great Coach in my book, he just had great asst. coaches. Can’t believe any Fool for AD would give Hewitt that contact. Believe its 7 million pay off? Wish Rads and etc would pay him off and fire his a@@. Don’t blame people for no going to watch that joke of a team. GT women’s team could beat the Men’s team.

Schafer makes things happen. I think you can say the same about Josh but maybe with a little less conviction. I’d like to see Schafer win the job but will be content to give Josh a shot if he earns it and only if he earns it. I’m not a big proponent on playing someone over another to a) not start their arb clock and b) b/c someone is out of options. If the guy is ready and can contribute then you play him. Same goes for Hanson. If he is the guy and is ready, yo don’t hold him back until June so you don’t start his clock. I understand the GM side of it but I want players that have been labeled as the future to be given their shot the second they can contribute.

Bravely, as you can tell, I’m only mildly watching this, and only because at my job I have to be on the computer all the time, and the ownership doesn’t care if I watch as long as I get my work done.
My interest is only in how specific players look, not the W/L record, which means nothing in Spring Training.
So yes, you can’t use anti-climactic when talking about spring, because wins and losses mean zero compared to how some guys are working on things, and how they’re preparing for the season.
When we get to the season and wins actually mean something, then start using those types of terms.

Yeah, ease19, and it is a good thing that he did a less demanding series before he went to the more demanding ones. It probably would have been good if Horton had done the same. P90X is really too difficult for most people in today’s society to try to do. It would be very discouraging. But it is very difficult (in some ways, impossible) to really meet people’s needs generically (mass tapes). Each person is like a snowflake and has a different mixture of muscle cell types in all the varying muscle groups of the body. These differing muscle cell types affect the amount of resistance each person can do and the amount of reps they can do of any given amount of resistance. That is why I said that the best program is to get a personal trainer.

While I’m happy to have Garret Anderson a Brave (and maybe this one year will allow for further development for Brandon Jones), I hate not seeing Brandon Jones play every day.
Line drive after line drive, quality at-bat after quality at-bat.
Since Jones is an athlete, I seriously suggest the Braves train him all year at…Third Base.
With Francoeur, Schafer and Heyward the future outfield for the Braves, I really think Brandon Jones can add value to the Braves as a 3B/4th outfielder.

Jeff321 (11:42 am): “MLB network launched in 50 million homes which is the most for any new channel.. ever. So, to say something about “nobody having it” is simply false.”
Jeff321 (12:05 pm): “>’I dont have MLB network at my house so its not in every household.’
“Its in about 45-50% of the households. But, then again, anyone who “really wanted it” would just switch to Directv. (Assuming they have line of sight for a dish and are allowed to have one.)”
http://www.bizofbaseball.com: A statement released from MLB Network said, “MLB Network successfully launched on January 1 in approximately 50 million homes. MLB Network is carried by most major cable and telco providers as well as DirecTV on digital basic or expanded basic. As has been widely reported, MLB Network is not carried [on] a specialized sports tier, but does require customers to subscribe to digital basic cable or the equivalent.”
But some of the approximately 50 million subscribers expecting to see the new channel were met with blank screens, a product of service level requirements, possible hardware issues, and in at least one instance, a local cable company not having digital service up and running by launch time.
The largest factor, for those that may be expecting to have access to MLB Network, revolves around what is deemed to be the “basic” package. A key point for distribution of MLB Network stemmed from negotiations in April of 2007 for MLB’s out of market package, Extra Innings. While Extra Innings was initially going to be granted to DirecTV as a monopoly, eventually the cable consortium of iNDemand was able to broker a deal to continue to gain access to Extra Innings, but it was stipulated by MLB that MLB Network would also have to be carried, and on the basic tier, the most widely available. According to MLB Network, the distribution deal brokered with all carriers is that all must broadcast on the digital basic, or the carrier’s equivalent, a key difference from early reports. Those that have analog service, no matter the carrier, will need to upgrade.
The exception for the lowest level of digital service required for MLBN, at this stage, appears to be DirecTV. MLB Network is on the Choice package and above. Choice is the level just above what DirecTV deems as “Family”, or the lowest level. ESPN, and other sports offerings, are not on the Family level of service.

I have not seen much of Gilad, I will have to look that one up. I don’t really stay on top of these things. I usually tell people who try to bait me into getting into an argument over some DVD that just came out that if the movements are safe and if they get you moving when otherwise you would not be, then certainly do that DVD. These things are so fadish it would take a lot of time to test them all out to see what would be good for whom. If a client needed something from a DVD, and if I did not already know of such a DVD I certainly would do the research to find one that fit their need the best. But if I am working with them, I can usually go through a set of tapes with them and make adjustments to what is prescribed on the tape so as to best meet the need of the client without having to find new ones.
Of course, as you say, I should just point them all to WII fit and all their problems would be solved!
I will say that I have liked some of Gunter Peterson’s offerings. They are pretty easy to adjust to make easier or more challenging.

Slugger – I think you will find some argument about Francoeur being part of the “future” outfield. I think that Heyward has already claimed that spot.

Bravely going forward: He’s a closer. Why would he pitch more than one inning if he likely won’t pitch more than one inning in the season? He’s okay. Just getting his one inning of work in like usual.

Francouer has already proven he can hit major league pitching and hit it well. Let’s see if Heyward can play above A ball before we label him as the Future.

Ummmm
I was not kidding about my Wii…
Gilad is good stuff, he has been around a long time and I really enjoy his work outs. But like you said, it is all about personal preference, what you are trying to accomplish and frankly, bottom line, what works for you.

Brandon Jones just gave the Braves a 3-2 lead by bouncing an RBI single up the middle with two on and two out in the sixth inning.
