Glaus drove in two runs with his double in first inning, and McCann followed with a sac fly to make it 3-all.
HEYWARD made a great catch near warning track in R-C just now on to rob Chris Shelton of extra-base hit in the second.
Yes, he’s back in lineup and looking same as always, Heyward is

Afternoon folks…
Ironic that Hoss is out with the ingrown toenail after talk on the last blog of the former denizen who so fondly spoke of toes were not to be trifled with.
Nice to see Heyward flashing a little leather when he’s not busy terrorizing auto insurance companies.
Somewhere in a factory in Costa Rica, Rawlings baseballs are having nightmares about their first meeting with Jason Heyward.

Looks like Lowe has gotten on top of his sinker after the first inning. It had been flat and up in the zone in the first, but he is getting it to bite down on guys in the 2nd and 3rd. He also just seems to be working on that pitch primarily. Hopefully no need to worry at all.

Rob from SC: Have you ever known Bobby Cox to come out and say something like that, even if they intended to? He never says that kind of stuff, just does whatever he’s going to do without announcing it. Told me the other day, when I suggested he had options now for CF and leadoff, at least, that he wants to see McLouth do well. Meaning, prefers to not platoon him.

I have been impressed this Spring with how easily (so it seems) that the Braves are scoring runs. They seem to get down by a few. The, bam!, they put a six spot up.
And they’re not really hitting home runs yet.

Trivia: What does this number signify:6.75
Answer: That is the spring ERA of the Mets’ fifth starter Niese.
So yesterday, when I read an article bragging about the great Met’s prospectes tearing it up this spring, such as new 5th starter Niese, they were bragging about a guy who “earned” his way in with a terrible spring? Good to know that’s what passes for excelling in NY Mets land.
Ike Davis does look good though. He and Freeman can be rivals in a sense.

Batting practice HR’s – I think it’s time to get on board the OBP trend. Heyward is going to excel much sooner in OBP than HR’s. Plus I love his speed in terms of defense, runs scoring, ocassional stolen bases. Much as I root for McCann to lead us in steals, since he is awesomely successful at it!, it would be nice to see McLouth and Heyward put up legit SB numbers.

It’s hard to believe how different this team is from the team that broke camp a year ago. Changes at 1B, 2B, LF, CF, RF, one SP spot and 4 bullpen spots I think. Upgrades at most spots except for the SP spot which could be close to break-even (Javy vs Hanson). The changes at LF and the 8th bullpen spots are interesting and debate-worthy. Melky’s speed and defense should be real assets and it will be interesting to see Saito performs.
