glord1, Heyward looks that bad? That’s not good. I have see two of his at bats this whole sprig on tv, so I don’t know. I’ll take your word as you’ve seen more of him and in person. That’s worrying, we need him bad.

“i guess Dickey is the Mets opening day guy? Good, a knuckler to kick off our offensive struggles.”
Cy Johan Santana will get the opening day start, Bank on It…He makes 20 plus mill to be the opening day starter…
The good thing is that the Braves have had good luck against Johan

CTB I saw two games so I think 6 or 7 ABs. Very small sample size. That said he had one hit and struck out most of the other ABs. The following week I saw he hit a HR and hit a ball off the wall. ST does not always mean that much but probably means more for him than most this year to build confidence. Right now he is hitting .183 with 2 hr and 8 rbi. He also has 17 Ks in 60 ABs.

Hey guys, I have a quick programming question for you. I recently switched to Direct TV from Charter Communications and I was wanting to make sure I have the channels that carry all the Braves games. Does anyone on this blog know what those channels may be?

glord1, the strike outs aren’t good, but it could just mean he’s adjusting to the new stance or how he’s holding his hands closer to his chest. IDK, he needs to hit.

Just don’t know what to do with JASON, last year he could not hit .240 this year the way it looks he may not hit .200. With those stats you can’t really play him [ but FREDI will] and soon Jaso will have not trade value left.

not good if JJ isn’t even reaching 90 mph. I thought a knee brace would allow him to put more weight on his knee. maybe he’s just trying to build up to higher velocity.

Its Spring Training bro…Be cool and don’t worry abt the pitch speed…Double J is building on his endurance for the reg season and the daily grind…
Plus Double J is looking better after getting Slapped in his last start

“From what I’ve seen, the Rev. has a weak arm for a SS. Seems like half his throws are in the dirt.”
I have noticed that as well…and on that last garbage throw he wasn’t throwing under stress of having a fast runner…

Looks like MLB.TV has decided to rip me off. I watch on a Samsung Blu Ray which they say they won’t update until late March for video access (Even though it had complete access last season with fine video). So I paid for spring training access and now can’t view it. Sigh.. would have loved to see the McCann HR.. erg! And now Freeman.. damn you MLBtv. (my unhappy face)
