Enjoy. Should be a fun team to watch. Solid defense. Gwinnett is the only team disappointing me right now and that is because Blair and Wisler laid fat eggs. I liked the Newk start.

I listened to his start. Definitely not great but he pitched well. His defense let him down. Bad throw by catcher. Easy double play only getting one out instead. But he did have some balls that got ripped but just foul too. I think his curve was not locating like he wanted.

Yeah but it's tough to deny a pretty positive sign when skips a whole level that young
 
The Braves have clearly bought into going young. We are constantly going really young even for HSers in the draft, and we've been aggressive in promoting the young guys. I like it.

players with bad attitudes and no position?

people laughed when i said this was going to haunt the braves for decades. the only thing that has happened since i've said that is povse has started to emerge as what i told you he would become. and he's just getting started.

at least the braves have a catcher who can't catch in an era where having a catcher know how to catch is relatively important.

Emerge? So he's already made it? I didn't know. The Braves way has been boring to the point of taking lesser talent and there's reason to lament taking a chance on a player like Jackson? I don't see it. Can you link all of the bad attitude articles on Jackson so I can lump him in the bust bin?

I don't care what Povse does. We have 10 more in the system like him. We couldn't say that three short years ago.

Glad to see Gohara is a #1 starter right now too and that we were right to trade Mallex for him.

That Fried kid looks like he's already done. We'll be lucky if we can trade him for a guy like Williams Perez now.
 
Sims is in complete control. Only walk was nibbling to get behind 2-0 then worked it full. Fouled off few pitches then left one high. Wow. Lane just hit an inside the Parker. Ozzie follows with a ripped double.
 
Sims lost it in the sixth. He gave up
A run on a strike out pass ball. Stolen base then base hit. Walked 2
In sixth and getting pulled. Really good start
For young man.
 
Ian Anderson done after 4.2 innings, allowed one run and had 8 Ks. Only negative was three walks, but I think they all came in one inning.

Yup. He struggled a bit with command first two innings. But dominated after that. Hard pitch count at 80 so pulled with 2
Outs in 4th.

Jackson looking pretty damn good at the plate thus far. And for a guy back at C for the first time in 3-4 years, a slow start defensively is expected. You're so emotional about this and it's weird. We have like 20 pitchers better than Povse and this guy could be a difference maker if he puts it all together. There are also reports that his attitude has done a complete 180 which also could possible after experiencing failure and I don't know... growing older than 17-18? But I'm sure you know more about him than the Braves and the reporters
