That was quite a game for an exhibition game last night, wasn't it? Nine relievers all completing their assigned innings. And more or less picking up at Turner Field where we left off last season - a ninth-inning rally off of a somewhat reputable closer (Matt Capps), followed by a 10th inning walk-off homer from someone most aren't familiar with (Mauro Gomez). In fact, many Braves fans are probably more familiar with who he hit it off of instead (Chuck James). But it was still a pleasant win, because typically, I'm used to the Braves seemingly always losing these mini-exhibition series against an AL Central opponent every year.
But anyway, this is it, the final game of the pre-season, and tomorrow, it's the official beginning of the regular season. I'm trying to temper my excitement, but I'll be honest, I have a good feeling about this season.
Your lineup for this 12:05 p.m. day exhibition at the Ted versus the Twins:
- Martin Prado, 3B
- Nate McLouth, CF
- Freddie Freeman, 1B
- Eric Hinske, DH
- Brooks Conrad, 2B
- J.C. Boscan, C
- Matt Young, LF
- Joe Mather, RF
- Brandon Hicks, SS
And Brandon Beachy will be starting the game.
