I wouldn’t mind seeing McCann in the 4 and Glaus in the 5 spot now and then.
I just hope this team shows a little more power than they have so far this spring.
60% of the time, it works every time
GO BRAVES!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in a cave again right now
but it’s supposed to be on 680 (AM) the fan. Not sure if they’re streaming, though.
Have we started yet?
My MLB AB app isn’t letting me listen or even see a box score.

Glaus

The boxscore is hilarious. Brian Anderson is 5 for 5 with 7 RBIs and was taken out of the game in the 5th inning.
Wow
I think that’s more RBIs than he had all of last year.

I had several of those called though. I was sitting pretty, even after the first 3 games today. The only real hurt that I had was Georgetown, but I had them losing in the Sweet 16 anyway.
However, I had Clemson in the championship – I was going for the home-run pick in my office pool.
Interestingly enough, I have the Washington, Cornell and ODU wins. Sadly, Clemson has bent me over though.

It certainly feels like he’s been on base non-stop for the last 3 weeks. I think the grounds crew just rakes around him now.

and now there is ball 4. Not sure why we were stealing on a pitcher with a lack of command and 3 balls.
Chipper is up now with Prado on 1st and 1 out.

2-0 to Chipper. Pitching coach out.
Man, I don’t think I like this new aggression from Bobby. There was a 3-1 count to a pitcher who couldn’t find the zone, and we sent the runner. And now, there have been 3 consecutive balls.
Chipper with a line drive to LF. Runners on 1st and 2nd for McCann with 1 out.

Proctor was impressive.
When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."
Proctor was perfect in the frame with a K. His fastball hit as high as 94, a few times at 93 and once at 91. He K’d Avilla on the slider.
I really like Proctor. That was another good low risk-high reward signing this winter. A very good one, IMO.

which no reason he shouldn’t, if he takes it easy coming back from TJ.
