Spring Training Open Thread: Phillies at Braves

It's a 7:05pm night game on CSS (Comcast), and on MLB Network for non-Atlanta markets (Atlanta market will likely be blacked out). It should be a nice matchup, phacing the Phils for the phirst time this spring. Here is the lineup
Nate McLouth, CF
Martin Prado, 2B
Chipper Jones, 3B
Troy Glaus, 1B
Brian McCann, C
Yunel Escobar, SS
Jason Heyward, RF
Melky Cabrera, LF
Kenshin Kawakami, P
From a DOB tweet:
Cox about tonight being opening-day lineup: "Pretty close. I don't know if Heyward will be hitting seventh, if he keeps going like this."
This is the lineup I've had in mind for the past two months. I think even if Heyward keeps raking they'll keep him protected lower in the lineup early in the season. At some point the league is going to adjust to him, so we'll see how his learning curve is then.

Does this mean Diaz will be sitting more in favor of Melkman?

Against righties, yes.

Even though we’ve proven Diaz=Melky against righties? Oh well.

Yep. Unfortunately.

I guess you could argue that since the are the same offensively vs. righties, you take Melky’s defense over Diaz’s.
Even though I’d prefer to see Diaz out there any day of the week.

This sucks
AT&T U-Verse doesn’t have CSS, and I don’t get MLB Network either.
I need a better service package.
This is
almost certainly the lineup Bobby will be using in the regular season. It’s also the one I would use if it were up to me (though probably not a straight platoon with Diaz/Melky).
Kawakami: Back for more, eh Halladay? Didn’t you learn anything from last year?
….this is funny if you think about KK moving his lips and having the sound come out a half second later like a badly dubbed imported movie.

Decent enough opening day line-up
Except for the 9 spot.
Of course, I’d like to platoon the lead-off spot, and put Matty up at #1 whenever we’re facing a lefty.
Joe Nathan has a torn ligament in his elbow
Ouch. I wouldn’t wanna be a Twins fan today.
Omar Minaya is my hero!
"I'm not even allowed in Mexico."
no kidding
that’s why I think its stupid to draft so early. Nathan was easily a top-3 reliever. If you drafted him, you better strike gold with a bullpen sleeper candidate.
Omar Minaya is my hero!
"I'm not even allowed in Mexico."
Or a fantasy Nathan owner
I scared my roommate with a profanity-laced tirade this morning.
I don't understand...
…why does Cox keep putting McClouth at leadoff? He doesn’t have the OBP for leadoff. I think Prado would be better at leadoff, plus McClouth has the power to move him around the bases. I’m not a big believer in looking at pure stats, but OBP is one of those that is pretty representative of how good a guy is at getting on base. I realize McClouth has speed, but it does no good if he’s not on the bases…
haha sorry to bust on you.
I kind of agree with you, but he’s hit by far the best in his career out of the leadoff spot
nah I had it coming
But I will be watching tonight on MLB Network. First game I catch this year. And I ordered the package from directv! Yeah baby! Tough being a Braves fan in Louisiana since TBS doesn’t cover them anymore
The MLB adjusting to Heyward is like saying 2 can equal 1.
They’re both just impossible.
MATT DIAZ IS THE F**K*NG MAN.
They made me change my signature...
Jason Heyward sed, Yo Peter Gammons, come up for air bro. U've been S'ing my D for like 20 minutes straight now.
MATT DIAZ IS THE F**K*NG MAN.
They made me change my signature...
Pretty much. U know he watches his JS.
MATT DIAZ IS THE F**K*NG MAN.

When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."
Phillies lineup
Phillies lineup:
1. Rollins SS
2. Victorino CF
3. Dobbs 3B
4. Howard 1B
5. Werth RF
6. Francisco LF
7. Schneider CF
8. Bocock 2B
9. Halladay RH
And everyone remember:
Schneider > McCann (better D)
Omar Minaya is my hero!
"I'm not even allowed in Mexico."
haha I’ve seen that joke how Schneider > McCann because of better D, where did that come from?

“no the mets are still better at most positions:
Schnider/Mcccan – tie (schnider has better d)
Kotch / Delgao – 38 hrs from carlos
Castillo/Johnson – castillo can return to a .300 hitter but jonson barely wins
wright/jones – no contest, wright
reyes/who??? – reyes wins, best ss in the majors
tatis/diaz – tatis raked last year
beltran/anderson – beltran is an all-star
francouer/church – church raked before his concusion he will rebond
santana/lowe – santana is the best sp in the majors
perez/hudson – perez has better potential plus hudson was hurt last yr
pelfrey/jurgens – jurgens gives up 2 many hits
maine/vazquez – vazquez wins barely cuz he had a good 07 but maine has more potential
redding/campillo – redding through more innings, campillo would have a 500 era if he starts again ppl will figur ehim out
k-rod had the most svs, he is the best lcoser in baseball, no contest"

Chipper is currying the team, according to Brian Jordan
Anyway — last year I had CSS in HD…this year apparently not…wtf…I have charter in SC…anyone else know what happened to the CSS HD channel for Braves games? It was 810 last year (I think)

Early on but KK’s fastball seems to have alot of sink on it. He is looking crisp.

That was such a hit.
Just as they announced it was an error, they showed the replay showing that his foot was on first as Howard was muffing the throw.
That is how you run down the line

yes
or at least wait until we’re close to opening day. The guys who dont have jobs should be killing it…but McLouth and Yunel need to take it easy.
If they hit a double or single — yeah, run hard. But a routine play to SS? Take it easy — these games DONT count.
