Our defense has been great so far this spring.

Kind of easy to defend when the balls are going over the fence. :)

Well I guess there is always 2013? I’m sure glad we didn’t trade those prospects to get an impact bat. That 30.00+ ERA and 7 Homers given up sure is looking really nice right now! :roll:

Hello every one! Tough game,but I bet Minor will get the last spot.The what’s his name pitched today, more like ended all that talk.Still early ,and it’s Spring Training. I predict the Braves to finish some where in the middle of the pack in the standings this Spring.

Tigers look good,but the ball carries really well during the Spring,and it usually takes some players 30 at bats to get going in the Spring,so we will see how the Braves do tomorrow?

“Forget the brick wall. I’m going to start a business that will rent Get A Grip Friends to certain bloggers…”

My get a grip friends are many baseball pundits from across the country. They say the Braves are ok, but they aren’t expecting much out of them. Have to say I agree,

anyone seen this yet
records your life and sends it to your social media site

personally i think all police should have to wear these. imagine how easy court cases
could be handled if the evidence were all recorded and the police were acting by the rules
and for the ones who aren’t, they better change or find a new profession

sam – well work on getting a l8r start to your shift…come sit down by the bullpen and see if some of the bullpen guys will follow you to work. You have to be discreet though there are lots of eyes watching them.

I’m only 1/2 way joking when druw was roaming CF there were 3-4 of dancers that used to do that.

At one level, Johnson plans strategic changes for the Nats. The little-ball style of ex-manager Jim Riggleman is dead, part of an ancient argument between the Cardinals and Orioles schools of thought on offense.

“With a 2-0, 3-1 count, we’re not going to try to draw a walk and steal second,” says Johnson tartly. “I’d just as soon they hit it off the fence and start out at second base.”
