You can still like the team, watch the team, and still be pissed at the team for putting such a poor product out on the field so far. This team can’t score runs in spring training, and the pitching has been terrible as well. It isn’t the end of the world this early, but there really haven’t been many positives so far.

I don’t think he was being negative or anything. Some people don’t do interviews well, and he maybe one of them. I, personally hope he stays for the next ten yrs. We need a Solid lead off guy who can steal bases and play good defense. I think he meets all the criteria.

Phil, you’re free to express whatever opinion you want. I just think it’s stupid and pointless that you spend so much effort into being negative. And your unending stream of negativity and jackass comments makes it less enjoyable for myself and other fans (you know the ones who actually support the team) to discuss and comment on this blog. It’s not about expressing extreme positivity all the time or anything, but having realistic expectations and knowing what they are capable of if they play to their ability. It’s not like I don’t have concerns about certain aspects of the team.

Even though this is ST, it’s hard to find a bright side when your pitchers take the mound knowing that they have no leeway at all and that a 2.0 ERA or better is needed for the team to be competitive. These were the Orioles gang–a twenty year study in futility. Less than four weeks to opening day the offense still looks like last September. Not good.

DS1, some people prefer Martin over Taylor (me). Although, a low end anything can be out performed by a high-end anything else.
speaking of low-end, its what i like so much about Martin guitars, vs. Taylors. Martins seem to have a much richer low end to them (talking about tone now, not quality).

it’s clear-he will be gone after this year. that’s why we only gave up 4 decent players.
if he won’t talk contract during the season, there doesn’t leave much time before he becomes a free agent. signing period starts later in the year
Braves have noone to replace him, but Wren doesn’t worry. he’ll still be smirking when the Braves finish 3rd or 4th.
if we’re lucky, the team will be out of the race by 7/31 and we can move hm for something.

Wayne,
Both the Taylors and lower end Martin’s are great guitars for the money. They have different sounds though. To me the Taylors are a bit brighter, they tend to record well and have nice electronics.
The Martins have better low end and age better. Usually just a thinline pickup, but that works pretty well.
There have been some problems with some of the newer Taylors warping (or so I see on the net and hear from my friends in the repair business)
I think you chose wisely!

I don’t record much. I do live stuff for the most part. I’ve mixed so many acoustics live….it’s hard to say what is “best.”
Oddly enough, one of the best-sounding ones was a lowly Sigma dread cutaway with a stock pickup in it. A lot had to do with the player I’m sure, but it sounded right up there with many high-dollar guitars.
Some Taylors, Taks, McPhersons, most Gibbys and many Martins have sounded really good to me. It’s a crap shoot.

Funny you say that, we had an open mike thing in Columbus, GA going for a while and had guys from all over come in to play. They had all sorts of guitars from hand made Collings to Sigma and Silvertones.
You are right the player made most of the difference, but we had an inexpensive Gibson acoustic with a Gibson pickup system in it that sounded better than anything else we could hook up!
Funny, most guys (even with high end Martin’s and such) would ask to use my Gibson instead of using their guitar.

Yeah, I know it’s “just Spring Training, the vets and pitchers are just getting their work in, and mostly it’s our subs against their subs”, yadda, yadda, yadda.
The problem I see from the results so far (taking into account it IS early into Spring Training) is that our guys can’t score any runs, can’t pitch (at least not yet it seems), and their subs are making our veterans look like AAA send-downs (not to mention the actual AAA send-downs). The end-game results, including the nonchalant demeanor expressed so far from what I’ve gathered, feel much more like a team whose mentality needs serious and immediate adjustment. Other teams are getting the job done and so far the Braves haven’t been, which is another significant part of what Spring Training is about.
Yeah, it’s Spring Training…but if you don’t come caring about WINNING THE GAME and playing your level best then you may be uncomfortably surprised by how difficult it is to”flip that switch” when the season begins. Just like last year.

Only thing is I know I’m gonna have to pay for it, those models are real pricey (and I had to buy my Custom 22 used as it was). I’d probably look at some Gibsons and maybe a G&L semi ASAT. If I want to go affordable could always get an Ibanez Artcore or a Hagstrom maybe.

The ASAT’s are great, but they are BRIGHT guitars.
I love Gibson’s, the neck profiles are perfect for me. PRS – not so much! Great guitars, well built, sound great, but the necks are just too big for me.
I had one of the first 50 PRS McCarty models, kept it for a few years but even though I loved the sound, I just did not like the neck, so I traded it!
No problem with getting a used guitar. I agree with DAP, older guitars (both electric and acoustic) sound better to me.
Just play a lot of guitars before you buy, you will make the right choice for you.

I think Bourn sounds like a business man that can’t go jumping around like a kid in front od DisneyWorld’s gates waiting for them to open so he can run in and lose his mind. If he does that The Braveauxs have an advantage. In fact, I think most everyone missed a VERY IMPORTANT statement from Bourn…”i WANT TO PLAY WHERE I’M WANTED”
We also heard thatthe Braves HAVE NOT approached him with a contract extension. Sounds like the villain is FW and their limited payroll. Bourn is as PERFECT a fit for the Braves as McCann. He fills our CF void, our leadoff void, and our ridiculous stolen base void. Andruw Jones got $10mil a yr and although Bourn is a notch below Andruw in his prime I put him in the top 5 defensive CF’s today, top 5 leadoff hitters, AND top 5 base stealers!
5yrs/$50Mil should have been offered a month after he got here. Today it’ll cost 5yrs/$55Mil at the end of the season…5yrs/$60Mil. Just get it done FW.
If ya’ll think we are slightly voided at SS until Pastornicky gets going have any of you looked at our CF prospects? WE HAVE NONE!!! Be like Nike Frank and JUST DO IT!!

Well see I also would like a Tele style guitar, and since I already have a Fender Strat would really like to get a G&L at some point.
Are you aware of the different neck profiles? It’s possible that you had a wide fat neck. The wide thin would probably be more to your liking.
I’ll definitely try a handful of models, but like I said this purchase is still probably a couple years off since I just got a new axe last summer. It wasn’t until recently I just started really jonesing for a semi or hollow body.

I understand what everyone is saying about this being Spring Training, that it’s only practice, etc…
I remember going to baseball practice. We worked on stuff like hitting and fielding and what to do in certain situations.
Thing is… if we did crappy in practice, we didn’t get to play in the actual games. Well, except for the coach’s son. He got to play no matter what. The rest of us, though, we had to perform in practice or our spot in the lineup went to someone else on the team.
So, yeah, it’s practice, but sooner or later, you’re going to want your players to practice doing good things like getting hits or strikeouts, and not practicing doing bad things, like hitting into double plays and giving up homeruns.

I am a tele guy and a 335 guy.
There is a massive difference between a thinline tele (or ASAT) and a 335 even if both guitars have humbuckers. You could easily have both in your collection with very little overlap.
G&L pickups are usually a bit hotter than Fender pickups.
Yes, I have played the wide thin neck, I like it better than the wide fat, but it is more like an older SG Les Paul shape which is not my favorite. I really like the Gibson 1960 slim profile neck, although I have Gibson from the 50’s early and late 60’s too.

Now we know the offense will e up and down due to the fact we have many pull type hitters and the young kids like Heyward,FF, Pasty and etc. This isn’t a prediction, but more likely a fact. Guys don’t lose bad habits over one offseason and kids have much learning to do. So let’s not go all surprised when this happens. DUH! It’s gonna happen. Thank God we have pitching and a lot of it.

When I played baseball in college (small Div II school) we played a fall schedule that I compare to Spring Training. The score and wins and losses meant absolutely nothing. What did matter were fundamentals, hits with runners in scoring position, extra base hits, pitchers throwing strikes and limiting runs. All things that the Braves appear to be failing to do at the moment. If I took anything from those fall games it was that if you sucked in the fall, you sucked in the regular season too, because well……you suck. So I will write this week off as the first week of Spring Training, but if this team as a collective group continues to suck over the next 10 games or so I am going into all out panic mode.

B-F 52,
I do know AL Breeze! Heck of a musician!
He has a real cool 1959 ES-335 that I always kid him about selling me for $100!
You looking to get a hold of Al? Let me see if I can find his contact info!

Oh yeah…been a looong afternoon…
Kwajbraves Sorry McFann but you may have to start looking for another Braves player to change your blog moniker to.
No cann do. If the Braves kick BMac out, I’m still McFann. I’m still a Braves fan, too, but BMac is my favorite, and I don’t think that’s ever gonna change.

I felt the same way about Dale Murphy and Phil Niekro. Still rooted for THEM personally, but not for the teams they played for.

Oh, that’s OK! I know how it cann be when you’re at work—sometimes you just wanna GET OUTTA THERE!!!
That’s so cool that you had a Pileated! They’re very exciting…one of my most favorites…I love Phoebes and finches, too…

Well, the Pileated didn’t actually go TO the feeder, but landed in the river birch we have next to the feeder. First one I had ever seen up close like that.

oh, someone was giving him grief about how much time he spent posting (and managed to pull you into it) and he made a very classy comment at the end towards that person.
