oh boy...and the pain starts now.....

I'm not too worried just yet.

Matt WIsler started the game.

Inciarte, Freeman, Acuna, Markakis, Flowers and Suzuki all not playing.

Albies and Camarago each had a hit.

Some guy named Socolovich gave up all 6 runs.

Rest of the staff pitched a shutout.

Camargo, Albies and Swanson are the only likely position player starters we have that played today.

Kazmir's comeback tour isn't off to a good start.

10 pitches.

1 strike.

first 2 batters walked on 8 pitches.

The 4th batter was hit by the first pitch.

Luckily Harper grounded into a DP on the first pitch of his AB.

But, the good thing is, Dansby took Scherzer deep.

And we caught the runner trying to steal to end the inning.

Walks 2 guys, hits another, only throws one strike in the entire inning, and somehow doesn't allow a run.

Hey, we finally won a ST game.

Acuna got a hit, Albies got 2 hits, Freeman had a hit in his first game of the Spring. Still not happy with the offensive output, but the pitching staff was on today.

Chewbaccer · Feb 28, 2018

Acuna and Dansby both with 2 hits today, McCarthy with 3 shutout innings, and all pitchers who I've heard of had a good game.

Braves payroll is down, despite revenues being up.

Can the owner of Liberty Media just get caught saying something racist so he is forced to sell the team? I want an actual owner, and without one, I'm just not sure how much sustained success we'll ever had. We went from worst to first in 91 and didn't stop for 14 years because Ted Turner was willing to get us the pieces we need.

Chewbaccer · Mar 5, 2018

Our bats have come do life down in Florida.

Acuna is white hot, so is Albies.

But we're gonna be penny pinchers and keep Acuna in AAA for a few weeks to start the season. Pretty good way to piss off a generational talent to ensure he's gone after his rookie deal is done. Liberty Media will turn us into the A's eventually.

Chewbaccer · Mar 5, 2018

And we acquired Ryan Schimpf from the Rays. Looks like a home run or strikeout infielder. Dude literally has more career homers than singles.

Chewbaccer · Mar 6, 2018

Our bats stay hot today, and our pitchers were dominant.

I know we've seen this story before, but Matt Wisler has been dominating this spring, and he might earn himself a rotation spot.

Chewbaccer · Mar 11, 2018

Of course a ST that is finally televised is one where we lay an egg after being on such a roll.

Chewbaccer · Mar 12, 2018

Newcomb pitched 4.2 perfect innings today.

Chewbaccer · Mar 15, 2018

Acuna is straight up killing it in ST. Another homer today. Folty was dominant though 5 too.

Unlikely scenario, but if we miss out on a playoff spot by a few games, and Acuna starts the season in AAA for the first 12 games or whatever, I'm gonna be pretty pissed.

Chewbaccer · Mar 16, 2018

Albies homered from both sides of the plate today. Offense kept on clicking, but Aaron Blair still sucks.

Chewbaccer · Mar 17, 2018

The game nobody cares about is on FSS right now. Split Squad games today. The one where Acuna is playing isn't on TV, but he already has a 2 run homer.

Chewbaccer · Mar 19, 2018

And the cheap motherfuckers have sent Acuna down to minor league camp. Garbage move.

Chewbaccer · Mar 19, 2018

And Teheran has been named the opening day starter. He's been dominant this spring. Went 6.2 scoreless today. He seems to rotate between strong and mediocre seasons on an every other year basis, so he should be good this season.

Folty, McCarthy and Newcomb look to be in the 2-3-4 spots.

5th spot still up in the air. Probably be Kazmir or Annibal Sanchez until Gohara is ready.

Chewbaccer · Mar 21, 2018

ST game is on right now. Brandon McCarthy pitching and no Acuna. Doesn't have much appeal, but it's on.
