Good morning Carroll.
I don’t know if you or DOB get potential lineups (both pitching and offense) in spring training a few days ahead, but….
What are the chances to see Uggla/Linebrink/Sherrill on the field on Thursday against Tigers which is the first televised game (as far as I know) on ESPN?
Reason I asked is because I’m a stickler for seeing new Braves donning the uni during spring training the first chance I get on TV.

Lokks like Fredi is using a line-up that might be close to opening day if it works besides Freeman at 1B. Let’s see how they do today. So did you guys read that Utley already has tendinitis in his knee? So while they are minor both Lee and Utley are already feeling the effects of their age and this is just to start the season. Imagine how their bodies will keep up playing through half a year of baseball. I wouldn’t give them the NL East crown just yet despite what crap comes out JRollins mouth and all the so called experts are predicting.

Thanks, Carroll! I will look forward to it. I was always hoping that the Braves would switch and start having their overnight trip here to Fort Myers rather than the east coast and play the Red Sox one day and the Twins the other. But I will take this one! Hope you are making the trip too. City of Palms Park is a nice park.

VOR,
Good to hear from you, looking forward to your thoughts on those pickups. I have heard great things!
BAS,

Couch,
I think the HUGE difference in the clubs is the shafts. They are way more whippy and really ask the golfer to swing differently. In my opinion, a player that shoots scratch with NEW clubs, can take clubs from the 60’s or 70’s and will probably shoot 3-4 strokes higher, with the wooden shafts and older heads probably another 4-5 strokes.
Without a TON of practice with those clubs, it would be hard for me to break 80 with them if I was playing well.

I’m actually from the Southwest, so I grew up eating jalapenos and Hatch green chile. Thought I was capable of handling a habanero… thought wrong. The burn, the numbness, the sweating, all of that was bad, but, not to be too graphic (look away if gross things bother you)… the burning on the way out was almost as bad!

Murph – I seriously believe that there is a tolerance factor at work with hot peppers – the more you eat them, the more immune to their effects you get. I’m up to Red Fresnoes right now (Jalepenos are 5.5 on the hotness scale, Red Fresnoes 6.5, with each increase – 5-6- being ten times hotter), though I’ve lived through a Scotch Bonnett pepper (9.5) without scarring.

Those wooden shafts are crazy to swing. They had Taylor Made out at the course I normally play last summer. They had demo clubs from different eras. Some wooden shafts some blade irons from early 1900’s all the way to current clubs. It was interesting trying to hit some of the older clubs. They weren’t as bad as I thought they’d be. They vibrated my hands pretty bad and I was only able to hit them about 70% of the distance I normally do. My clubs are blades so that may have been why I was able to hit them. I’d love to play a round with a set of wooden shafts sometime. I think I’d have to get a pair of knickers if I did though!

Lew, if that Indian restaurant has a website with menu, I’ll be glad to make suggestions to ease you into Indian cuisine.
I’ve never had ghost chili but at home we used to have a variety of very thin and small green chili (on a scientific scale – very very hot) raw for taste or great chutney made of dried red chili and garlic. It can wake up any food (even english) way better than Texas Pete hot sauce. Frankly, it can wake up the hot sauce itself.
I remember in Hsinchu, taiwan I used to go with few of my buddies to a teppanyaki place in downtown. Communication was great adventure as we didn’t know mandarine and nobody there spoke english. That place had a squeeze container full of some hot sauce which the locals would pretty much try only on a dare and we would finish the whole container between the 3/4 of us. Still remember all locals looking at us in awe (I think).

Adding my two cents to the hot chilli pepper discussion:
I think the body adjusts to particular types of peppers and not just the heat level. I can some really eat hot spicy food – as long as they contain only a certain types of red chilli based or thai peppers. Everyday – no problems. But a few Jalapenos can make me suffer even if they are milder on the scoville scale compared to the others.I guess I cant process that particular capsacin or something.

Lew, it’s not like it’s “up to him”. It’s simply a gift that some have and others dont. Michael Jordan had it. Dominique Wilkins didnt. Doesnt mean Dominique was a great player. Michael Jordan was a champion

Dark Star, Grateful Dead, 1968
Dark star crashes
Pouring its light into ashes
Reason tatters
The forces tear loose from the axis
Searchlight casting
For faults in the clouds of delusion
Shall we go, you and I, while we can?
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds
Mirror shatters
In formless reflections of matter
Glass hand dissolving
To ice petal flowers revolving
Lady in velvet
Recedes in the nights of goodbye
Shall we go, you and I, while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
Spinning a set the stars through which the tattered tales of axis roll
About the waxen wind of never set to motion in the unbecoming
Round about the reason hardly matters nor the wise through which
The stars were set in spin

True, but the effect of a ghost chile on the body is a chemical response… if it doesn’t affect a “local” or someone else my guess is that they’ve messed up their pain receptors in their mouth permanently. Less of a conditioning than it is a damage done to the body.
The capsaicin grabs a hold of the nerves and tells the brain that the thing you put in your mouth is actually hot. The brain then tries to counter that by doing things like raising your heart beat, making you sweat, etc.
If the brain isn’t getting those signals anymore then to my uneducated mind that means you’ve done gone and burned out your mouth nervy thingamagigs.

This comment got “moderated.” I’m (hopefully) replacing the offensive remark.
So now we’re talking about intangibles that Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan “have” but Chipper “Kiss my a–, Fanboys” Jones “doesn’t.”
Chipper Jones, who, until 2007-2009, had been to the playoffs every year and at every stage in his career.
Baseball is the ultimate team sport. One player can make a huge difference. But, the difference between a playoff team and an also-ran has a lot to do with the 25 men on the team plus many folks on the 40 man. It requires excellence from manager and coaches. It requires non-stop work and improvement from the front office, to replace the injured and under-performing.

My 2 cents on the “hottest pepper ever” …
It reminds me of getting the most pain relief in ONE tablet. Why not just take two aspirin? Why do you need one extra-strength pill?
When I cook with peppers (or anything else for that matter), I want the spices to blend into a gestalt that blends throughout the dish. That last thing I want is a “hot spot” where only the spice is tasted, and that so intensely that it detracts from the overall dish’s ambiance.
If I need ten peppers to achieve the right result rather than one pepper, so be it.
Compare it to rock music from the 70s/80s where “good” was equated with “high dBA.” All that resulted in was a lot of partial hearing loss. If you need 120 dBA to hear the tune, you might need to get your hearing checked.

“Nice lineup – and when Gearrin and Varvaro, two pitchers likely not to see time in the bigs this year give up runs and we lose the game, we can rip the pen again.” Lew
Oh…. I wouldn’t be so sure on Gearrin. He’s put together a pretty nice minor league career as a reliever. Is in his mid-20’s and fits the bill for a lot of guys that have been called up mid-season and STUCK in Braves bullpens in past years.
His worst stint in the minors was at A-ball Myrtle Beach in 2008, where in 17 games he posted a 5.32 ERA.
But he followed that up in 2009 by having a 1.84 ERA in 27 games at Myrtle Beach before jumping to Mississippi later that year and posting a 2.84 ERA in 20 games. Totally 19 saves between the two stops.
Last season in AAA he had a 3.36 ERA in 80+ IP. Walks a few too many guys, and had 12 wild pitches last year.
But like I said. Every year there is 1 or 2 guys that seemingly “come out of nowhere” and land in our bullpen. They usually aren’t 20 year old rookies (like Kimbrel and Venters were last year), they are usually mid to late 20’s guys that have toiled in the minors for a few years.
I’d seriously keep my eye on Gearrin around June or July. Same goes for Marek, who I think has an outside shot at making the club when they go north.
But that being said, your point was a funny one.

Dearest Chipper Jones,
In the event that you are able to play at least 140 games, bring in 100+ RBIs and bat around .275 in these statistics hereof I would gladly kiss your behind.
Sincerely,
Fish

I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
When the switch broke ’cause it’s old
Maybe that’s why I haven’t heard these classics (at least in a very long while).

As much as Braves fans here want to see Uggla, I’m betting the largest applause will be for Chipper Jones
As has always been the case.
Doesn’t stop him from playing the “no love from the fans” card though does it?
No, it does not.

murph, The capsaicin grabs a hold of the nerves and tells the brain that the thing you put in your mouth is actually hot. The brain then tries to counter that by doing things like raising your heart beat, making you sweat, etc.
by the way, your body does that as a defense against what you are putting into it. AKA you arent supposed to eat that crap!
at least not by biting into one. perhaps just a touch as part of a much bigger portion of something that isnt actually an attack on your body.
one good thing about a little spice…it will satisy your hunger faster. the sensation of hunger is psychological as much as it is physiological. often, we can think we are hungeier than we are. spicyness adds so much sensation to the brain when you eat it, it satisfies the psychological part of hunger faster.

Chipper wasn’t ripping his fans…he was ripping his critics.” cabravesfan
Where is there a written rule that says those two things are automaically seperated and one person couldn’t be considered both?
I’m my son’s biggest critic when it comes to anything he does. Especially his sports and musical projects. But NOBODY roots harder for him to succeed than me. — N8
In that case, something tells me Chipper probably wouldn’t care if he lost the patronizing segment of his fan base, as it were.

Listening to the game right now on my iPhone via At Bat…
So far not a great start for Lowe but it sounds like both hits were seeing-eye singles.
