    Seems the braves are the masters lately of running pitch counts up early but not actually scoring

    I saw Laz ump a Braves’ spring training game. He called everything off the outside part of the plate. He seemed like he was ready for the game to be over by the second inning.

    That’s a good way to get thrown at.

    Cant hit with RISP at all. Dont even care if they're working the count, gotta score to win.

    More failure with RISP. Sucks because it should have been bases loaded.

    They keep getting runners on, it will happen.

    Of course, it doesn’t help that it’s our top of the lineup getting on and our bottom of the lineup hitting.

    Not quite like that. He’s was dropping his bat before the pitch was 15-20 feet from the plate.

    Given that the Twins went lefty heavy on Soroka, I'm not surprised about them getting ball in the air. He's probably changed his approach and is throwing a lot more changeup (or something?) in an attempt to neutralize it.

    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    For some reason, I forgave the twins after they tore down the metrodome.

    I hate the Phillies and Padres forever. And Livan Hernandez and that dead ass umpire.
