Spring Training Open Thread: Braves at Muts

PrintI'm going to put this up a little early in anticipation of today's game (provided, of course, that the weather cooperates).
I got the following note last night from the Media Relations manager at the MLB Network:
FYI, the blackout has been lifted in the Atlanta Braves' television market for MLB Network's simulcast of the Braves at Mets Spring Training game live on Tuesday, March 2 at 1:00 p.m. ET. MLB Network will carry SportsNet New York's call of the game.
I had no idea there was going to be a blackout, but if you were worried about that, unworry yourself. The unfortunate part is that we'll have to listen to Mets announcers. Of course, being that there's not too many good things to say about the Mets, they may end up bashing the team more than a Braves announcer would.
Here is the expected Braves lineup:
Nate McLouth, CF
Martin Prado, 2B
Jason Heyward, RF
Brian McCann, C
Yunel Escobar, SS
Melky Cabrera, LF
Eric Hinske, 1B
Omar Infante, 3B
Mitch Jones, DH
Tommy Hanson on the mound first, followed by Jesse Chavez, Michael Dunn, Chris Resop, James Parr, and Manny Acosta.
Chipper, Glaus, and Diaz did not make the trip.
I predict the Braves will cruise early then lose the game in the ninth when Manny Acosta "does his thing."

What an awesome birthday present for me from the Braves – Heyward batting 3rd!
"My team of nine guys who hit like Albert Pujols and never ever bunt just beat your team with one Shane Victorino 472 to 3."

Well happy birthday! what a present indeed. I can’t think of a better way to spend a sick day than this
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
Thanks! Sadly, I am at work – although, based if today is anything like yesterday, I won’t be too busy.

haha. thats not a bad idea… hmm, should I run this by Gondeee or just go rogue?

guess this means I resume the duties of chief this year?

I'd agree...
not counting, no prizes, just to get things going and work off some rust, like the players are doing this spring.
Score
Player of the Game (this would be hard with limited time in spring, so maybe make two miscellaneous cats like First run/hit and last starter in the lineup)
Misc
Do you not remember the last time miscellaneous cats were used in NAHWAL? Somebody forgot to feed them, and somehow bigjoe ended up with his own blog.

We could call the spring NAWHAL the Jeff Francouer League, since no one cares cause it’s not posted on the scoreboard.
Well, just because you “win” and prize doesn’t mean it gets sent to you.

FYI
For anyone who has DISH and doesn’t get MLB network, you can send a letter to DISH requesting they add the channel. Just go to MLB network’s website, and enter your zip code in “channel locator”, and there will be an option under DISH to send a letter to them. Who knows if it will do any good, but its worth a try.
"Matt Diaz is a baseball player."-Joe Simpson
I did it too. DISH is really starting to annoy me. My monthly bill just went from about $70 to over $90 due to their change in service fees and certain rates…I am paying 90-fricking-dollars per month and they can’t give me the one sport that I want to watch over the next several months? Seriously, what does it cost for them to NOT black out Fox Sports South when they are showing the Braves games???

Hopefully it’s not a spam site… someone else click on it first.
I have dish network. And I do get the Sny channel ( not because of the mets) but if the blackout was lifted here do yous guys think I’ll get the game or should I play it safe and hassle my neighbor that has directv??

High School Flashback
Jesse Chavez, Abe Alvarez (ex-Red Sox farmhand) and I played for Miller High School in California and we used to dominate Tommy Hanson back in the day! Ironic how things work out.
Oddly enough, the best pitcher in our league back then was Ricky Nolasco. He was just plain filthy.

here’s what they said about EA:
How She’ll Do: The only reason the general public might even know her name was because of the scandal involving her getting filmed by a peeping Tom, so she’ll have to be a really great dancer in order to develop a voting fan base.
Um, fail. She’ll just have to stand there to develop a voting fan base
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"

600 comments? This is ridiculous, it's not even the regular season yet.
That said, this is awesome. The overwhelming love for Heyward is just oozing out of my laptop screen.
you already know what it is lol

The Mets catching and 1B situations are hilarious. They must think that if you get enough mediocre bench/AAAA guys, they’ll magically combine into some sort of mecha-player who can actually hit and field.

Kind of makes it tougher
To figure out which one of two three-headed monsters of Barajas/Thole/Santos and Jacobs/Murphy/Tatis is going to suck least on any given day.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I remember this Livingston
He used to be on the Reds, and once had a 4/4 batting day against the Braves. He could hit as well as pitch.

back in like 2006 i think
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
I vaguely remember that
Though when I think of the name Livingston, I remember him being a utility infielder or something.
What’s up party people…
People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.
Oh snap
I need to remember to ban you when I get the chance. For not delivering on the story of your epic baseball journey

No pressure or anything

he better get used to that, especially if he hits lower in the order

They always do that until players get added to the 40 man.
The show is great for getting quick roster updates…they do one every monday.

wondering where you went
Good: Heyward. We scored a run
Bad: Chavez, and we resumed our LOBs
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
GOOD: Heyward is a beast at the plate, he blistered a single past 1st and was pitched around the next 2 times up, and he stole 3rd. Hanson had 2 IP, 1 hit, 3 k’s.
BAD: Mitch Jones swing has major holes. Chavez got lit up. Too many LOB’s. McLouth and Esco looked bad at the plate as well.
- I miss Spooneybarger :(
by Mighty Healthy on Mar 2, 2010 2:55 PM EST up reply actions
Heyward battled back from 1-2 in first AB to get a walk. 2nd AB hits a rocket single down the line. 3rd AB gets a walk.
Also he stole 3B.
Hanson did well. Got i believe 4 K’s in 2 innings. Medlen did well also.
Chavez was terrible.
Mitch Jones has a terrible swing
by drumzalicious on Mar 2, 2010 2:56 PM EST up reply actions
Hanson and Meds looked sharp

Reyes bats 3rd.
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
Jerry’s talking about puting him 3rd. that’s all I know
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
Angel Pagan. barf
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"

maybe Nate McLouth isnt so bad as a leadoff hitter after all…

Jerry is talking about Reyes third with Pagan leading off until Beltran gets back, but he hits at the same bs every season
