I'm posting this the night before, so I'm not certain on the batting order, but I do know that Derek Lowe will be on the mound, followed by Eric O'Flaherty, Jo-Jo Reyes, Jonny Venters, Craig Kimbrel, and Manny Acosta. Should be a good game.

Venters is..
epic. Send him to the bullpen!

1-2-3 inning
McLouth now hitting .030. Heyward lined out
to left.
I’d do play by play, but Nova-St. Marys is going to be a great game.

Did everyone see that Strasburg was sent to AA? I don’t get that move. He already has a MLB contract, why send him down?

This team is not hitting a butt-load of HRs, but they sure do score a butt-load of runs.

If Hicks could hit a little
He would definitely be our utility IF. He plays great D.
Inning over as Nate Ks. The Braves got 3 2-out hits. That is always nice.

Just a thought
Why do let guys doing well in Spring Training (like Heyward) give us permission to get excited about how well they might do, but don’t let poor performances (like Nate’s) give us permission to be concerned?… But certainly not saying there should be panic…
If Chipper were hitting like Heyward, I don’t think we would be talking about it. But, since Heyward is a 20 year old, the best prospect in the game, and the future of our franchise, he naturally generates the excitement, even if it is ST.
Same for Glaus – who hasn’t generated as much excitement, but who is actually having a better spring than Heyward. I am excited about Glaus because he is coming off the injury, but looks fantastic.
Remember a few years ago when Andruw Jones led all ST with 10 HRs, but then didn’t hit that much during the regular season?

by justincredubil02 on Mar 20, 2010 1:43 PM EDT up reply actions
I hear ya… I just wonder if people are being consistent… since it is Spring Training for both.
As for Andruw… I thought that was the season he did hit 50 HRs… could be wrong.
Maybe you are right…I have trouble remembering yesterday, let alone 5 years ago. lol
ST is different for rookies than it is for vets. Rookies are trying to show what they can do, while vets (like McLouth) are tweaking things. We know how McLouth will hit – he has a solid track record of being a good hitter. I am not going to let 2 weeks in March change my perception of him.

Even though his track record is encouraging, his 1 for whatever line this spring justifies concern.

Truth this
Nobody’s talking much about the insane line that McCann is putting up this Spring.
Spring performance does matter, but spring numbers mean zilch. There’s zero correlation between those numbers and the numbers from the regular season.
+1 for the 1.

Ladies, I need some help. On my date last night, things were going great. Then all of a sudden, my wife got mad at me, because I don’t think we should have a baby right now. Like, she is still pissed this morning, and not talking to me. WTF? We are in our 20s (I am 25 and she is 23), we have student loans to pay off and aren’t financially set yet. Those are my reasons. She just wants a baby, because she thinks they are sooooo cute and all that jazz.

Dude i'm married and I can honestly tell you
That you will never have enough money for a baby unless your rich. I mean my wife and I both have pretty good jobs but taking care of a child cost tons of money but they are well worth it.

Trust me the younger(married of course), the better
Kids will keep you extremely active so you need to have the energy to keep up.
You should meet my wife.
I’m 35, she’s 30, and she’s the one who doesn’t want kids yet.
You're absolutely right.
I don’t get it either. I don’t know how to help you with her irrational and illogical reasons. Babies are not cute at 2, 3, 4:30, 4:45, etc. AM while they’re puking yellow stuff and squirting green stuff that smells like tuna. Nor when they’re 9 and doing the same thing, just on a larger scale (double bed, carpet).
Babies are cutest when they’re someone else’s and you can give them back and go home to your fun life, while you’re young enough to enjoy it. You guys are too young to restrict yourselves right now. I say give it a few years, if ever.
Ask her doesn’t she have enough to do with keeping up after you? ;)
Do you have a puppy?
They’re like babies, but they generally don’t cost as much or require as much attention.

Except if they chronic health problems

Yep, but I suck at PBP, so hopefully one of these guys will step up to do it! And I have to step out in about a half hour

Rotation concern
Is there anybody else extremely worried about our rotation this year with Lowe being inconsistent and not knowing what your going to get out of KK?
Not extremely worried, but a little concerned afterr KK yesterday and Lowe today, but Meds having a great ST
if need be, we can put him in the rotation.
When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."
Concern level = 0.7
Not too worried. Worst case scenario, we still probably have a pitching staff that’s stop 5 in the NL. The worst case scenario for the offense is much worse.

Hitting streak is more than likely done…and his average is now below .400

I think it's gonna come down to the wire between Thurston and Conrad,
for the last bench spot.
When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."
Seems to me that Conrad is in the lead a little bit.
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
Yeah, he's had an amazing ST.
When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."
1st and 2nd with one out for Conrad.
Freeman on deck.

Backwards K for Freeman.
Failure. But at least they scored once.
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
and we took the lead,
now we have gotta hold it.

Venters pitching.
Young in LF.
Clevelen in…somewhere.
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
Clevelen is in RF.
Apparently Heyward started leaving earlier until he realized no one was in RF.
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
Basehit by Jays.
Then next batter grounds out the Venters. Inning over.

Henry is the most NBA ready player in the country… he is huge and so mature. The twins are even bigger and can out muscle anyone. Reed and Morningstar can shoot with anyone and I haven;t even mentioned Collins and the best big man in the country Aldrich

Groundout.
But the runner moves to 3rd with one out.

He'll be lucky to make the team, IMO.
He’s had a bad week.
"If I had a little humility, I would be perfect" - Ted Turner
It seems if he comes in with a big lead and no pressure he does fine, but if he comes in with a small lead,
he gives it up, not closer material, imho.
