Jelly (my phone autocorrected it, not my fault) can play anywhere, and all he does it hit. I say he makes it, even with the log jam.

Oh yeah, he's in. I was just trying for another fruit preserve joke.

What's the old baseball saying? Maybe we can trade jelly for a bag a peanuts?

Wowza! So his SLG for the game is...really high.

Edit: SLG: 2.400. OBP: .800. OPS: 3.200.

Robust.

what is funny is that his SLG was 2.5 BEFORE the double..

 

[DaneHill]

A single away from the cycle. Interesting.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

also note that again our pitching has been pretty solid. We like to give up 4 runs by the end of the 2nd inning and then shut them down from there.

 

[Julio3000]

Three hits for Albies.

Still a good day for Mallex! Exciting stuff.

What kind of singles hitter can't get a single through 6 PA? Bust!

 

[mossy]

First win of SP. Excellent work boys!

 

[Garmel]

It's looking like it might be hard to keep Mallex off the opening day roster.

 

[DaneHill]

Mallex in batting practice tomorrow

It was 1 spring training game bro. Pump the breaks a bit.

That's why I said "might".

Just a reminder

Mallex Smith, 5'9", 170 lbs, 22 yrs old, Tallahassee, FL

Nothing says "Spring Training" like overreacting to tiny samples, but damn, if seeing Albies and Mallex running wild don't give one reason to believe.

I think it is fine for fans to be a bit excited over a couple of guys, who have hit well in the minors, kill a game like today... we have been without baseball for months and without good baseball for longer.. ease back on the buzz kill.. I am sure pretty soon you can go back to being happy when team scuffles a bit..

Agreed. Mallex got hits off MLB pitchers, too. I wonder how fast the home run trots for Mallex and Ozzie were?

If there's one guy who can't get enough tiny samples at Sams or Costco it's the Reasonable Believer.
