Spring Training Open Thread: Braves at Mets

PrintThe Braves visit the Mets for the first time since the first game of the spring. Tommy Hanson will take the mound and try to get the rain from ruining his start (as it did his last start).
If you're looking for some good mid-afternoon Braves talk, then check out my blog talk radio/TV appearance with the guys from HotStove.com yesterday. They're Mets fans, and I get in a good Frenchy dig about half way through.

I just ran cable to my office from our main area this past week. It was partially for the NCAA Tournament and partially in preparation for baseball this week.

No Heyward.
I am bummed. I wanted to see how he would rebound from a bad day on Saturday, but first a rainout, then an off-day, and now a day off. I guess the other three OF’s need their work, but still. It takes the thrill factor out of the game.
Great commentary gondeee - listened to the whole thing.
You represent all of us TCers around here well!
Now – GO Braves!!! I’m hoping to get the game today.

Per DOB..
..Cabrera is in RF. At least the Braves know (unlike some sources, for example, MLB Depth Charts) that when it is McLouth, Diaz, Melky, Diaz should be in left, and Melky should be in right.
Melky in RF and Nate in CF.

If he really takes to leadoff..
as his Yankee splits seem to indicate, I wonder what that does to the rest of the lineup.
I haven't heard anything.
Which makes me think he is fine—if there was any issue, people would be all over it. I think it is just that he was in the last two lineups (Sat and the washout Sun) and we have four OF’s who are going to see significant playing time this year. Also, facing a lefty, he could be getting a day off as part of Bobby “giving him the best chance to succeed” as Heyward is still batting .000 against lefties this spring and didn’t do so well against one Saturday. Of course, with Ollie pitching, Heyward just would have walked a lot.
Its spelled Praydo when its on ESPN

I know we are sill waaaay too early in his career, but what are your guys thoughts on McCann as a HOF’er
Way too early to even attempt to think about that one.
If he kept up what he is doing and stayed at catcher for 12 more years or so, yeah. But catchers have the shortest shelf-life of any position, so we’ll just have to see.
Nah, let's just take the drama out of this one
Put him in the HOF right now. Induct him ASAP. Why bother waiting?
Wait, Wait
He’s not already in the hall of fame?

I’d kill for a Spanish broadcast of this game. Unfortunately, ESPN didn’t give me the option.
Sometimes it’s awesome to find the Spanish viewing option when they don’t have broadcasters, so you get the audio from the game but there’s no voice-over. Like being there live.

McCann also works the count full…this is a good sign for Braves fans – Prado battled back from an 0-2 count, hit a couple of foul balls, then got a hit on a 2-2 pitch, Glaus worked the count full with some foul balls and now McCann works the count full before grounding out to 1B.
Gotta love patient hitting!

If we keep this up...
…it will be great even when we don’t work walks. Running up the opposing starter’s pitch count early gets him out of the game faster and gives hitters the chance to see more of his pitches.

"Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?" - Harris in Major League (1989)
Yes, that too.
It’s just a reflection on the Angels-he was a fairly average CFer, then he made that catch (and I agree, it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen) and he suddenly gets a reputation as a defensive wizard, and makes a ton of money the next offseason.
Now we get to hear Santana....

Something like 63 pitches through 3 innings for Tommy. If this pitch location thing on Gamecast is to be believed, the pitchers (both) are being squeezed on the corners.

Friend of mine is debating on getting those. She stands a lot (works booths at the Braves and Thrashers & Glads hockey games).
They take some getting used to – but I really think I’m gonna like ‘em. Not leaning backward is the key. I really like the fact the soles are so think – I gain about an inch in height! I’m somewhat vertically challenged so any little bit helps.

Gaining an inch in height, that would sell me! But I’m off balance enough as it is, especially according to that dumbass Wii (what a crock o shiiiiite that thing is). But they may work for her, I’ll pass on the info.
They are like $100+ everywhere I looked.. but got Champions for $40 the other day at Payless. They’re not all leather (mesh/leather uppers) but hey – I wasn’t sure so it’s nice not to have to drop a Cnote on an unsure thing.

My first time seeing him on TV – he’s a big guy.
Does this mean I’m no longer a Heyward virgin?

It worked on my brother-in-law. He slips up every now and then, but we just slap him around a little with a foam tomahawk and he’s fine.

Was Ross's throw to high, or should Conrad have caught it?
I couldn’t tell.

Wilt Chamberlain couldn’t have caught it.

For anyone wondering
Ross tried a snap throw behind the runner at 3rd, went high 2 runs scored
Then Wags struck out the hitter on the next pitch.

He’s not bad looking – but I wouldn’t pin him on my wall.
"When all is said and done, more is said than done." - Lou Holtz
He’s one of the most genuine, and genuinely polite and affable young men I’ve met in a long time…and I work at a college. I’d date him.
Not a pinup heartthrob, but that’s ok with me because really good looking guys usually have very small…um…yeeeeaaaah. So I’ve heard, cough.
He seemed pleasant enough the one time I met him (it was a caravan thing in Montgomery, AL). I was most struck by Medlen’s sense of humor that day — he even teased me about working at UA.

Scott Thorman isn’t in Major League baseball anymore. I was always worried his arms would fly off after one of his swings. that dude had the longest swing I’ve ever seen.
