Checking the box scores, Rome is off to a great start tonight.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Sims walked first batter in Mississippi, hit second batter on an 0-2 pitch, then struck out the next batter on three pitches and struck out the side in short order.
Mallex Smith is 1-3 with a triple so far, scored only run in a 1-0 game through six innings. Chacin having a strong debut for G-Braves before joining rotation in Atlanta.
Final line for Soroka: 4 IP, 4 H, 1 ER/R, 1 BB, 7 K.
I'm gonna see alot of Mississippi's games this year and I'll video several of Albies at bats and Sims and Newcomb pitching for yall.
Swanson singled his first AB for Carolina tonight and is now 1-3 in a game Carolina is losing big, 11-3. Albies just lined out his first AB for Mississippi.
Chacin went almost a full 8 innings, 7.2 scoreless for G-Braves tonight. Swanson just got his first extra base hit for Carolina, an RBI double making him 2-4 in a losing effort for Carolina. Albies is 0-2 so far in Mississippi (line out to CF, ground out). Mallex Smith just doubled to leadoff 9th for G-Braves giving them a shot at adding an insurance run. Smith has a triple and double tonight and scored the only run so far (make that 2 runs scored for Mallex as it's now 2-0 G-Braves in 9th).
Also, for any interested in Astudillo like me, he lined out his only AB and threw out a runner trying to steal second so far.

I'm curious...
Why is Swanson in A Ball with Carolina right now? Doesn't he certainly seem ahead of his development??
