Spring Training 2015

[Julio3000]

I'd like to see Russell stretched out as a starter to either join the 5th SP competition or be the long man in the pen.

@mlbbowman
James Russell, who had been battling turf toe, felt good after yesterday's 30-pitch live BP. He's still hoping to be used as a starter.

Gosh, I'd completely forgotten about him since the start of ST.

I want to see Mallex Smith everyday!

I want to see Mallex Smith everyday!

Yeah, I really root for split-squad games so I can see the guys whom I want to see.

Bottom of 1. Spring pitching bores FF. He's on second with a 2-out 2B.

I will agree. Never could understand those off days in ST when you have so many guys to look at.

 

[Julio3000]

Sounds like Yadi is off the juice.

My family is at Champion Stadium rooting for the Braves in my first spring training game in 25 years.

Wood's day prematurely finished after a rocky 3rd.

2.2 3 2 0 2 1

CJ's error leads to two unearned. Mistah Kurcz takes over.\

The good so far:

Grilli a clean inning, 1 K.
Avilan worked a clean inning.

The bad:
One hit in five turns so far. Two errors from CJ, leading to all 4 runs.

5-0 Cards.

Whoa. That is a bad day.

Final was 6-2. EY doubled in a run late, Terdo had an RBI single. Albies got 2 ABs, walked twice. Feigl had another good inning.

 

[MadduxFanII]

DOB quotes Fredi as saying he'd be comfortable with EY as the starting center fielder and lead-off hitter to start the season, because Loki is impersonating our manager and he's a Nationals fan.

 

[Dalyn]

Damn you, Wren, and your ****ty lineups you forced on Fredi, too!

 

[MadduxFanII]

I made myself imagine Tim Hiddleston wearing a Nationals' cap and telling Thor, "That's a jester's question, brother."

 

[50PoundHead]

Aaron Hicks is buying himself a king-sized room in the Minnesota Twins' doghouse. Any interest here on whether or not he'd be a stopgap guy in Atlanta?

Nope.

CJ had a terrible day, nothing at the plate and his errors were the difference in the score too. Joey T stayed hot and Feigl continues to be probably our best lefty out of the pen.

 

[The Tariff King]

Did Chris J get pushed in the dugout by TP again?

 

[Braves1976]

Did Chris J get pushed in the dugout by TP again?

I don't know, I didn't hear anything about that. Why, did he throw something and hit someone in the dugout again?

 

[yeezus]

I don't know, I didn't hear anything about that. Why, did he throw something and hit someone in the dugout again?

If he did like 10 games in ST then...wtf.
I really think we're going to a similar season to last year from him. He was just terrible last year.

 

[The Tariff King]

I'm not saying I heard of anything. But if his defense cost the team 4 runs... and he ain't swingin' I figure TP is going to knock him upside the head again.
