abeeewright–Completely agree that it is astounding that such bands are still around. Would not have noticed at all, except that an old friend who lives on the Upper West Side posted something about it on Facebook. Surreal to think that they are still around. (I guess I did just go see Chick Corea’s Electric Band recently.
Yep. My brother had Monty Python’s ‘Contractual Obligation Tape’ growing up. Hence, I became quite aware of the lyrics about being worried. Quite apropos of the blog mindset.

On a more serious note… I found the subject matter in David’s new blog to be very appealing to me – not that any others aren’t, just that this one hits more ‘home’ to me. I’ll probably reread it tomorrow.
I’ve always spent a lot of time with working out & exercising etc.
I find it interesting to learn what different athletes do to get in shape before the season starts.
Especially relievers, especially good ones, especially ‘ours’.
It’s just information you have a hard time finding anywhere else.
Thank you, Mr. O’Brien.

How ya doing Ward? (I won’t be here long)
Hope everybody else is well. I haven’t been on a lot the last couple of weeks. The missus had some surgery a little over 2 weeks ago. Been busy helping her when not on the road.
I enjoyed the article DOB. Thanks. Do you think that the Braves will be looking to deal some pitching (Jurrjens? or a back end of the pen reliever) this spring for a bat? I guess a lot will depend on how our existing guys are doing.
Obviously Heyward and Prado will be key this year (and Chipper ALWAYS is key). And I am assuming that guys like Mac, FF, Uggla and Bourn will be near career norms. Does Freddie have a “career norm” yet with only one year?
And I’m hoping that Matty D has more in the tank (with Hinske and Ross)
It’ll also be interesting to see how the Pastor comes through for the team.
It’s going to be an interesting year four shore……….

ward just because a fastball is fast , doesn’t mean its good

Fish will be lucky to make the team. He is definitely behind Martinez, Medlin, Moylan, Visciano and others. He is lefty that can throw hard but he was only so-so at AA. At best, he is able to catch on and contribute a little until he improves A LOT.

What is the scouting report on Ascenio? What are his chances of being a good part of a bullpen?
I think that barring injury, you will see CK, JV, EOF, Medlin, Martinez, Fish and Ascenio start the year.
You will have Vis at AAA and Moylan rehabbing.

Good Morning Everyone. With so much pen depth there is gonna be a handfull of quality guys who are good enough to be in a major league bullpen stuck in AAA. Wonder if teams will call looking for pen help? Cause it wouldn’t hurt to try and add a better bench player.

“Venters allowed two runs, two hits and a walk in the eighth inning of the 9-0 loss to the Mets on Aug. 26, the day the Braves’ 10-20 finishing flameout began.”
And just what idiot would be pitching him in the 9th inning of a one-sided game like this? The same idiot that pitched Lowe in must win games the last week of the season.
Lew
February 18th, 2012
8:56 am
I’d hate to see Varvaro not make the pen, too – he contributed a good bit the second half of the season and put up some really good numbers while doing it AND he can pitch multiple innings wich should lighten the workload on the Big Three.
I like the idea of having Martinez, Medlen and Varvaro being able to pitch more than an inning at a time.
Lew
February 18th, 2012
8:59 am
Larry – I keep hearing aboput pitching Lowe, but with Jurrjens and Hanson out of the rotation and Teheran and Delgado already pitching in the roatation at the time, who would you have started instead of Lowe? Vizcaino was pitching in relief, so was Martinez and Medlen had just returned from surgery.
I suppose they could have called up Redmond.
dap01
February 18th, 2012

Great point Larry. That is also the same manager that thinks the only way to win a game is to pitch EOF, JV and CK for an inning. If we win 90 games, they will each make 90 appearances. Then he also pitches then when we are down 3 or up 3. He uses the excuse of “playing by the book” as a crutch to managing. His formula for success will not work over a long 162 game season. He will need to pitch Moylan and Medlin in pressure situations, he will need to alternate JV and CK as closers, he will need to pitch Visc in the 8th inning. He will need to use Medlin as a closer on occasion.

If Pastornicky falls on his face in spring training, I believe that we have Wilson hitting 8th and Hicks backing him up until Pastornicky is ready from AAA.
I also believe that Wren may still try to upgrade the team at the end of spring training or later if JJ proves to be healthy and increases his trade value.

I just find it hard that you can’t believe in this team with how well they played for 3/4 of the season last year with so many players not performing most of the season. Surely you would have to think Heyward, Uggla, Prado, McCann will have better seasons than last year? Not to mention the pitching staff will be better as well with Lowe gone. Bullpen will be one of the best, if not the best, in the league. Freeman will hit for more power with a year under his belt. Bourn for the entire season as a catalyst at the top of the order. Lots to be excited about honey.

We’ve seen Pastornicky in the minors quite a few times and his defense and arm aren’t really good. I sure hope this guy worked hard over the offseason on his defense if he really is Atlanta’s opening day guy out there. YIKES! He can hit alright and he does have a little speed which is more than Alex G., but you can’t underestimate the importance of strong defense at short.

Agreed abt your post about the Braves predictions…They are a team that can make they playoffs but until they can beat the Phillies in close games late in the season, they are a team that will Be One And Done…
This is a Team that haves to prove that they have heart to win in close games, they haven’t shown us that in 6 years. With the one exception of that game in SF in 2010 where Stankiel hit the homer into McCovey cove in the playoffs
And after I read my Athlon Sports Baseball Annual magazine…I was reminded that B-Macc was having a Career season until that Damn Oblique injury killed his season, he wasn’t right since…That was the start of the Choke/Collapse!

I have no angst about ROBERT FISH making the pen at the expense of a more qualified righ-handed reliefer. Mr. FISH is another in a long line of experiments by the BRAVES to establish credible lefty reliefers in their pen.
ERIC O’FLAHERTY
GEORGE SHERRILL
YOHAN FLANDE
ROBERT FISH
who is just the 2012 version. Actually, so is CHRIS JONES, acquired in the LOWE deal.
The BRAVES continue searching on the Waiver wire [O'FLAHERTY] and in Rule 5 [FISH] for another home run like the one they hit with EOF, as well they should.
But none of this means FISH will beat out a more qualified MARTINEZ, VARVARO, GEARRIN or ASENCIO just because BOBBY is a lefty, and the others aren’t. That’s what ST is all about.
And if he has no place on the 25-man ultimately, what’s the cost? $25,000 and a return to the ANGELS? O.K. No harm, no foul in my book.

Catchers are gonna have nagging injuries every year its a part of the territory, but That oblique strain, screwed B-Macc Up Bad! Last year over the last 2 months
B-Macc’s limit should be abt 130-135 games a season…Which is as much as I Bash Bobby Lite, I did like the fact that he rested B-Macc early last year with impromptu off days, since the Braves were 24-12 in Rossy’s starts last year…

I agree 100% with your idea that the Braves have to show heart this year and win the close games especially against the Phillthies. To many loses to that team late in games in the past few years. I think the bullpen arms this year will contribute to that happening this year. No more Linestink out there, Proctor, etc. The thing I am most excited about with this years team is the redemption factor I think the clubhouse will have after the collapse last year. I truely believe this team will be playing with a chip on it’s shoulder all year and play the underdog card as a team no one is looking at to unseat the Phillies at the top. The Phillthies have a great pitching staff, no doubt, but the Braves line-up has had success against their aces. I not big on the marketing of seasons each team provides to start the season but if I had to choose something I would simply call this Braves season…Redemption.

Not to give Freddi slack for over using the back end of his pen, but that 9-0 Mets game was a lot closer in the 8th inning when JV entered. It was a 1 or 2 run deficit before Venters gave up additional runs and the Mets piled on after he left.

I am a firm believer that the Braves would not be giving the kid a chance at ss if he hadn’t shown them something. They have too much riding on just an economic move. Arm wise he is not going to make anyone forget furcal or yunel. And I do not think his arm is going to be compared to D Eckstein either. I do believe he will be solid with good range.

“The thing I am most excited about with this years team is the redemption factor I think the clubhouse will have after the collapse last year. I truely believe this team will be playing with a chip on it’s shoulder ”
They Have to prove that Point to the fans on the field otherwise we will be talking UGA football on here on Aug 15th…So far over the last 6 years, the Braves Lay down like a 20 year old Sorostitute in Late Season Games against the Phillies…
They Did the same thing last year and Got Clowned in Philly with a Result of the Phillies Fans Mocking the Chop…That was Flat out Embarassing! I can’t Believe Bobby Lite and his Boys went out like that…
From a SEC’s Fans Perspective: Thats Flat Out Unacceptable!

I wonder how many 1/2 price hotdogs the Braves have to sell before they break even on that investment.

I hear Larry Parrish had just about figured out how to get the clock to stop blinking. Video super-position was next on his list of things to do.
