Constanza (replacing Bourn) makes the catch in CF to retire the side.

abeewright: But Sutton made a real nice play to get to it, and Freeman would’ve made the catch. Mejia not much defensively.

looking at the box score, I see that three of the regulars got BB, so this isn’t as bad as all that for the first day of ST.

What I look for is fielding,and Pitching. The game is not a blow out,so that is a good sign for things to come.

Should we be concerned about the fact that the Tiger pitchers are seeing their first live game action and this is the result?
abeeewright

3:01 pm
DOB … thanks for the clarification on the Sutton play. I’m not watching, just listening. so, there’s no way to know if Sutton’s throw was bad or if the 1B was not ready for prime time.
Sounds like Sutton might have a shot at a bench job.

Mejia flied out to front edge of left-center warning track to end Braves’ 7th, after Josh Wilson GIDP.
Cordier to pitch 8th. Braves no hits through 7….
Former Braves OF “Mighty” Matt Young now hitting for the Tigers in 8th. Leyland wanted to make sure he played against Bravos.

Hearing Murphy on the radio feed is awesome. Ha he thought the Braves got a new 30ft chickfila cow. Powell quickly told him that we have had it.

I wonder what McFann thinks of AL baseball??? (Nolie)
I think he’s thinking “Hmmm.. The Yanks traded their best catching prospect and are patching it up behind the dish this year. I bet they’d like to solidify that spot for the future. And batting lefty in that right field ban box behind the likes of A-Rod, Tex and Cano sure might be fun. Oh yeah- they pay pretty well up there in the Bronx too!”
Something like that.

But you are likely right about what McCann is thinking
