Spring Training 2015

[yeezus]

I fixed that for you.

That's a fair point. I was more referring to top speed guys in general.

 

[Dalyn]

Is there any indication that the organization has fixed its damaging approach to baserunning? It's an important overlooked element to the contact/speed build.

Are people actually excited to see Eric Young at the top of the lineup or am I misreading?

That's what it looks like. I guess the culture of BJ at the top makes anything other than him appealing. I'd rather have BJ. THIS is the year you keep him at the top and in the game no matter what. But of course it'll actually be the year we basically replace him. Weird.

This is an interesting long-term development . . .

@KevinMcAlpin
Dale Murphy, in camp as a guest instructor, tells me he will be working with Jose Peraza in CF today. #Braves

To add to that......................

#Braves are having Peraza take fly balls in center, want him to have some versatility in case an opening later this year, JHart said.

That deafening sound is 1 million Braves fans in fervent prayer.

Hopefully Heyward won't complain about batting second if he has a bad season.

This is a bummer:

paul hoynes ‏@hoynsie 5m5 minutes ago Goodyear, AZ
Gavin Floyd has suffered a stress fracture to his right elbow. He is sidelined for foreseeable future.

AKA forever.
He is done-zo.

According to The Book, your best hitter should bat second. Cards doing it right.

Hopefully Braves fans won't take bitchy shots at him no matter what happens.

I'll always root for Heyward and hope he figures it out. His rookie season was special.

Can't wait til the Cards come to Philly. I'll secure seats in RF and give him applause.

 

[gilesfan]

Heyward is really an ideal 2nd hitter. The Cards just do things right, unfortunately. (at least most things)

 

[thethe]

So mallex smith is looking good. That would be awesome to have a long term CF option.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Gotta have Freddie come up huge this year!

 

[sturg33]

He missplayed two balls in the outfield in the first inning and got thrown out stealing.

What did he do good? (serious question as I'm only halfway on twitter)
