The Resident Evil movies are terrible, Most of the gaming community would agree. You’d have to play the games to understand why.

Your right lol, there pretty bad all together. Resident Evil is one of the greatest game series of all time. To me it seems like all movies that come from a video game are crap. Mortal Combat….Silent Hill…Mario Brothers…Street Fighter…Tomb Raider…Doom… But it’s just my opinion from a gamers point of view.

Watched some of the Astros/Nats game yesterday. Everyone knows that Bryce Harper has tremendous upside potential, but to hear the Nats broadcasters talk about him and the ” career” he’s had was really strange. But then again I guess they’ve already ordered his plaque for Cooperstown.

Huh. Just read a Peter Gammons article where he talks about the Braves now having the lowest payroll in the NL East. Is that really true? Did the Marlins and Nationals jump over us? I need to do some checking/math, I guess. No matter what, though, things have sure come a long way since 1995 when the Braves had the highest payroll in the majors. Of course, the grand total for the team that year came to just over 50 million…

DOB got some quotes from Ross on what happened with Teheran and Delgado. Good read and pretty much what you should expect. Both guys were getting behind (Delgado walked two I think).
Early ST, wind blowing out, young pitchers didn’t have their full arsenal of pitches and were lacking command. Fastball down the middle … crushed.
Scherzer (the Detroit starter) was a veteran and probably didn’t have to stick with the FB when behind in the count + Braves brought few ML hitters to the game. By the time Scherzer was out, so were the Braves starters. I also have a feeling that, once the Braves got down 11-0, most of the Braves were just ready to get out of Lakeland.
The only Brave pitcher that did well was Ascenio who got ahead of the hitters and set the line up down 1-2-3. Every Braves pitcher that struggled was getting behind.

Sure rich, but I haven’t been critical of Asencio or Gilmartin this offseason… at least, not yet. That’s my way of giving Minor a back-handed compliment.
I will be the first to admit he came out of the gate strong and did well… much better than I thought he would have. But, much as Teheran and Delgado’s first spring starts are not indicative of where they’ll be come April 1st, I’m guessing Minor is due for some adjustment as well.

You end up paying for past performance and by the time these guys reach free agency they are moving towards the decline part of their careers.

As bad as Alfonso Soriano has been he would have actually had the 2nd highest SLG% and 2nd most homers on our 2011 roster only 1 point behind Chipper and behind Uggla in homers.
Jason Werth did smack 20 homers and had 19 stolen bases
AJ Burnett was terrible but he did give the Yankees 190 innings which would have been 2nd best on our club.
Zito, Figgins, Dunn are complete waste for sure. They didn’t do anything well or provide any positive production.

I don’t understand the disdain for Matt Diaz. The guy basically over-bulked up last year and it messed up his swing. He is a perfect guy to platoon against lefties and has had some games where he has carried a team offensively with his unorthodoxed approach.

Heyward 0-3
Pastornicky 0-8 (although his double was scored an error)
Bench
Diaz 0-ST
Hinske 0-2, BB
Sutton no idea
Constanza 0-ST (one ball should have dropped for a hit but the LF was playing at little league depth)
Durango 2-3
That’s like one half of one bad game. How many games last year started with the first two times through the order going hitless?
I’m pleased though that Durango looks to unseat Constanza for the back-up OF. True CF and he’s hit the ball out of the in-field.

Just cause his numbers have declined over the past 2 season’s. Also he is a below average defender in the outfield. He might have bulked up but somehow that caused him to lose all his power. Only bright spot is he hit around 290. vs LHP

MFin04,
I’ve got nothing against Diaz personally, but I do think that with only 25-roster spots available I’d like to have a guy with more flexibility than someone who can only play corner OF and hit lefties decently, not great. If you are only carrying one guy like that it’s not a problem, but with Hinske already on the roster (and the far better hitter), it’s hard to justify Diaz taking another spot.
MFin04
March 5th, 2012
11:21 am
“He might have bulked up but somehow that caused him to lose all his power.”
Does anyone listen to the interview or games? Yep pretty much what happened is that he got stronger in order to hit for more power, it threw off his timing and bat speed and ultimately caused him to hit for less power.
The guy is lethal against lefties and he is a decent outfielder in left field. I expect his numbers to get better this year if they give him a decent amount of playing time.

I’m probably alone in this, but I wouldn’t bother with trying to visit a local brewery in Atlanta. We have some decent ones, but there is nothing special about actually visiting them.

When I stop and think about it I realize that the true target of my angst isn’t Diaz, it’s the Braves for not getting someone better than him to fill that bench role. It’s not his fault that he’s on the wrong side of 30 and declining… I’m sure he’s doing the best he can with what he has left in his baseball tank.
I am holding out some hope that he’ll be beat out for the job, but I know given his salary and history with the team that it isn’t likely. Even if Gartrell comes in and hits .500 for the spring he isn’t likely to find a roster spot.
Anyways, I’ll try not to let my anger cloud up the blog with a bunch of anti-Diaz statements all spring long. Y’all know how I feel about him and we’ll just leave it at that.

I guess the dreams of a trade for McCutchen can be put to rest now after signing his 6 year extension… another one bites the dust.

“Oh, My! Greg Norton…That second season…We don’t need that reminder…”
Wasn’t really even Greg’s fault. That season was when I truly knew that Bobby Cox was not sane. That or the rumors of the donkey photos were true. The guy was just completely lost at the plate and Bobby played him like he was the MVP of pinch hitting.

RIP Don Mincher…
Born in Huntsville in 1938, Mincher was 73. The 12-year major leaguer was a two-time American League All-Star (1967 & ‘69). He played from 1960-72 for the original Washington Senators, Minnesota Twins, California Angels, Seattle Pilots, Oakland Athletics, the new Washington Senators, Texas Rangers and again the Oakland Athletics.

At least we have Diaz from the Pirates…just as valuable with the unorthodox ways he carried the team offensively in games.

We might be able to trade Pastornicky or Simmons to the Pirates to get Nate McLouth. He is their power hitting right fielder with speed. Heck maybe we could even throw in Delgado or Teheran.

Delgado
31.50 ERA

3.50 WHIP
Teheran
36.00 ERA
.500 Average
4.00 WHIP
So far it is a pretty close race for the Braves 5th spot in the rotation. Too close to call in my humble opinion. Both have not pitched up to their potential, but the future looks bright for these two superstars.
If the Braves have a few injuries, maybe these guys could be our 4th and 5th starters.
