Spring Training Open Thread: Braves at Blue Jays

Gondeee_tiny by gondeee on in Open Threads

Our new ace Derek Lowe toes the mound against the Blue Jays today.

In a point of roster clarification, deep within the D-Fab blog (which sucks even more now that the comments are on multiple pages) he mentions that the Tom Glavine contract has not yet officially been "filed," and that will happen when Glavine reports next week. So the spot that was vacated by Tim Hudson being placed on the 60-day DL, was apparently filled by Garret Anderson, and another move will be made in a week when Glavine officially reports to camp. This is pretty confusing as there are 41 active players listed on the 40-man roster on the Braves official website -- so maybe they're just as confused as we are.

Yep

A classic.

I still have a braves franchise that I play. I don’t even know what season I am on.

Since we're playing the Jays

Are the Canadian stations able to stream the game over the ’net?

by Lennox on Feb 28, 2009 12:54 PM EST reply actions  

Nope. Big Bro MLB has its hand over their mouth also…o to speak.

by Lizziebeth on Feb 28, 2009 1:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Well, I've got a stream that's going at the moment

Googled Toronto Blue Jays Radio and then hit the first link that came up.

Who knows how long it’ll last.

by Lennox on Feb 28, 2009 1:13 PM EST up reply actions  

Awesome!

I’ll give it a go, too. Thanks for the info. I tried a slightly different search phrase and got a “due to MLB blah, blah, blah” message.

by Lizziebeth on Feb 28, 2009 1:15 PM EST up reply actions  

I can't get it...which station did you click on?

Prado works the count full, but grounds out to 3B

Blanco grounds out to 2B

Since he’s leaving for the WBC, this could be his last game with the team this year.

anyone know if all those groundball singles from lowe were a product of our DEF not playing well or just the hitters finding the gaps?

by drumzalicious on Feb 28, 2009 2:14 PM EST reply actions  

From the announcers

Sounds like the ones in the 2nd were well hit

by Lennox on Feb 28, 2009 2:15 PM EST up reply actions  

i hope so cause if the DEF has gotten worse with offseason weight gains or anything that would suck especially with lowe as our ace

by drumzalicious on Feb 28, 2009 2:17 PM EST up reply actions  

Schafer K's

But he did work the count full after fouling off several pitches.

If we’re gonna have a backup catcher who doesn’t hit too well, at least he’s got some decent pop when he connects.

another positive so far seems to be that Escobar learned out to not GIDP
