I would switch that haha. With the caveat that the Braves are not having a good one...the spring is meaningless.

I wish we could have laid up one of these eggs in the last few games last year. That missed #2 pick stings.

Thought that too, but soon realized that the novelty quickly wore off after the first time. The lack of involvement from many of the top US players shows how well it's regarded. Then with the Olympics dropping baseball harmed its standing for international competition.

What? Many of the top US players in the game are playing. They have a stacked lineup.

Line up... maybe.. but we don't have our best pitchers by a long shot.

Excuse me, Acuña hit another HR in the 3rd when we were watching the AAA game. He is now 3-3 w/ 3 HR. The two I saw were both bombs

Folty with another rock solid start.

He is looking more like the TOR starter we envisioned.

Yes, and Eric O is going to push Maurico to AAA..

I wouldn't hate that last part. Cabrera has plenty of time left and Eric O could be useful come July. VERY. He was friggin lights out for us, but those ships may have sailed.

I know spring is spring, but he is pitching his way into the pen.. 12 to 2 K/BB.. 2ish ERA.. been very consistent this spring.

Ozzie leaving game due to leg injury.

Fouled one off his leg. Left in middle of AB but he wanted to stay in.

Remember he skipped AAA. Wouldn't hurt him at all to go down and work on his control. Especially if that means us keeping a vet that is performing well that we could possibly move down the road.

And yet pitching secures the US advancement to the final game.

Scary how dominate the us could be with sale/Clayton/max/so on. I wasn't saying they weren't talented.

Impressed by Garcia tonight. He's looked strong.

Is Jim Johnson about to have a strong '17? He's been great in ST

He's a bit pricey, but I don't see how anyone could complain about how well he has pitched for the Braves.

[zbhargrove]

The US pitching may have not been the best but the rotation was still very good. To say it wasn't is pretty ignorant

[Tapate50]

Top 3 of the rotation and the back two in the pen have looked great.

[msstate7]

EOF has been unbelievable this spring. What's behind the resurgence? I realize it's only spring, but regardless, he's pitching much better than last season
