Braves fall to 1-5 in spring with loss to O’s | Atlanta Braves
The young left-hander made his second start of the spring Thursday. He threw three innings and allowed no runs, three hits, one on the infield, and walked two in a game the Braves eventually lost to the Orioles, 2-1. Minor also induced two double-play grounders as he worked on his breaking ball and change-up. "I think he is a different guy in general, after seeing him in September," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "There is a comfort level there. There is a mindset that he belongs."

"I just do what I do. I think everybody hears that and then tries to avoid it, and they try to do too much," said Freeman, who finished second behind teammate Craig Kimbrel in last year's National League Rookie of the Year voting. "Obviously I have my own plan, my own hitting ways, and hopefully I can stick to it and try not to do too much this year. Everybody's going to have their ups and downs. I've just got to minimize those downs as much as I can, try to stay consistent and obviously stay healthy."

"I had made extensive notes of things I wanted to discuss," he said. "But most of the position players were here during the period when it was just supposed to be pitchers and catchers.
