It's only four games and it means nothing, but man, put the Braves' lineup next to that of the White Sox and look at the OPS for each player, and it is striking.

Heim really needs to pick up the ball and argue later.

Trout homered in his first at-bat. Would be cool to see have him a healthy, 150+-game vintage Trout season.

I don't actually think the Braves front office is doing an SNL bit.

This Chavez thing feels like a running joke Anthopolous keeps telling because he knows that, if you keep doing it, it’ll eventually become funny again.

Looks like Wyatt Langford is starting the season with the Rangers, as is appropriate for a good and kind and noble Florida Gator.

I need to stop talking myself into Jordan Luplow. This is the second straight offseason I've pulled this nonsense.

Braves signed Duvall. $3 million. David O'Brien @DOBrienATL Adam Duvall signs a one-year, $3 million contract with #Braves

David O'Brien @DOBrienATL Ken Giles is on a minor league contract, so this allows #Braves to send him down to get more innings, multi-inning stints, back-to-back days, etc. Missed a lot of time past couple years, so this lets him build up properly. I’d guess he’ll be back with Atlanta early in...

Braves optioned Kerr to Gwinnett and sent Giles to minor league camp.

I promise I understand the why of it, so there's no need to offer a long explanation, but it's really kind of crazy that spring training has started and the Cy Young winner doesn't seem particularly close to signing.

When I want to see impressive curves, I just call Cy’s mom.

The players who actually have to wear the things while playing a game find them uncomfortable and unpleasant. Sure, they're mostly multimillionaires and they'll get over it eventually, but it's a legitimate story.

Apropos of nothing, but Perdomo is a ridiculously huge man. He's listed at 6'8, 265 pounds, which is basically LeBron size.

It's not a defense of the team's approach to allocating playing time to suggest that this might not be strictly a Snitker fetish. I'm pretty skeptical that Anthopolous is up there in his box every game, grinding his teeth in fury because Snitker keeps playing the core guys every single day. We...

We will absolutely need a list of people who aren't allowed to participate.

That's it -- I'm storming the Capitol.

Is anybody else getting a bunch of spam private messages?

Fortunately the summer weather in Atlanta is definitely going to get significantly colder over the remainder of Murphy's contract, so that problem should solve itself.

I don't care about the piping on the sleeves, but moving the "a" so that it's right in the middle of the vertical piping over the chest is a weird choice. And yes, pitchers and catchers really need to report ASAP.
