Mac 4th and Glaus 5th looks weird, but I can get behind it. Just not used to seeing catchers batting fourth.

Also, Glaus at 1B I assume. Another half-second heart attack.

He’s getting nine at bats in the minor league games today.

looks like it

but no clue why, maybe getting Blanco some PT and Nate some cage time.

by someguy1 on Mar 21, 2010 12:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don’t like this. I want to see Glaus in the 4 hole.

And the weather doesn’t look good. Hopefully I get to see some baseball.

It’s sprinkling right now. No rain!

In 1 hour...

…it’s going to pour by the looks of the radar. I’m sitting up in section 207 row V.

Yea you guys definitely have a storm coming your way.

Jurrjens out?

Box score has Moylan starting?!

by SwedishBrave on Mar 21, 2010 1:07 PM EDT reply actions  

Its because of the rain.

by bravesfan91 on Mar 21, 2010 1:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

makes sense

Jurrjens is a little behind, let him start on a day he can pitch 3-5 innings

by bighop on Mar 21, 2010 1:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

What the hell do they have against televising WEEKEND Braves games?

a few of us actually have to work, and then the weekend comes……nada.

lol

Anyone have audio,

looks like the game is underway?

When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."

bummer

You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain.

Just got home...

We braved the rain for an hour before they called it. Hopefully the weather is nicer on Thursday in Bradenton and I get to see Heyward play.

Me and my wife are soaked to the bone.

That depends on what she looks like…

Brutal

I bought tickets behind home plate for me and my dad for this game. Caught 1 inning, which included Chipper getting struck out, then got rained out.

Heartbreaking

that sucks

and they don’t refund your ticket or something? I mean, i know Disney is kinda crazy with prices, but they don’t even give you a ticket to another game?
