Welcome back Carroll!!! At least you aren’t doing the GT basketball blog. Nothing more painful than that.

Excellent news about Chipper’s knee and playing today. I will get real excited when he plays the field two days in a row. Cannot wait til the first game is on tv. Hope he plays Thursday. Be interesting in seeing how Brandon Hicks plays.

Buck Belue is not good on his show (buck & kinkade), and he’s not much better doing play-by-play

Carroll, do you think Chipper will hit in the 3rd spot in the regular season? I’m hoping that w/ Bobby and his loyal-to-a-fault lineups retiring, that Chipper will move down the lineup this season. No logical reason for him to hit 3rd.
Carroll Rogers
February 28th, 2011
1:27 pm
so this is how it could work….McCann singles, Uggla singles, Heyward advances them to second and third, now scoring opportunity with one out for Gonzalez

Me too. I’m not expecting Lowe to repeat his Sept numbers but I think if he uses his slider more like he did last Sept then this rotation is comparable (NOT as good, but comparable) to the Phils. National media forgets how good JJ was two years ago.

Thankfully no. His affected delivery gets to me. Usually try to tune in right as the guy in a grave voice welcomes us to what seems like a horror movie.

Spivey-
I’ll go ahead and take this one…
Unless Chipper falls flat on his face in the next month, I fully expect him to start the season in the 3-hole, given everything Fredi has indicated.

Yeah, he just worked 15 in a row, 12-15 hrs each day. But I’m sure you do that a lot, too, right? Right?
By the way, get back to work, enz. You’re not getting paid to blog.

My God, it’s like a recurrent nightmare – - the never ending one in which your neighbor shows you his vacation photos.
Here’s Chipper in the batting cage. Here’s Chipper running. Here’s Chipper batting right handed, and now one of him left handed. Here’s Chipper adjusting his jock.
Here’s a video of me asking Chipper about his knee over and over again.
Please, Carroll, make it stop . . .

P-town,
No, I sure don’t. They are like any other sports talk guys…they are homers.
I used to listen only for tomahawk talk..but since they stopped doing that, I haven’t tuned in. I live in the midwest, so if I want homer talk, I might as well listen to the homers in my area.

“I wish Yunel Escobar wasnt such a d-bag, this team would have one of the best young teams in the majors.”
We had Yunel last year and were NOT one of the best young teams in the majors. It wasn’t until Yunel and his automatic outs at the plate were gone that we turned into the better teams in the NL.
Besides. Freeman is younger than Yunel was. So now were one of the better “young” teams in the league and even with Gonzo at short, the average age is younger than it was last year.
And your point was……

Escobar having one off year doesnt mean that he would stay that way. He has had an amazing 3-years before that. Last year our young rising stars were Hanson-Heyward-Venters. Whereas this year it is
Venters
Freeman
Heyward
Kimbrel
Minor
along with
McCann
Hanson
