Did yall know that Jordan Schafer had converted to a pitcher? Seems odd to me, I don't remember him having a cannon in the outfield or anything.

Saw on MLBtr that he's having elbow problems trying to make the Cardinals opening day BP.

Micah Johnson out for a while with a broken wrist.

Pretty much locks up a spot for Jace Peterson on the opening day roster.

The grass is in, eh? Time for someone to get fucked.

I'm trying my damndest to get tickets to the opening game at Suntrust, but the shit sold out in like 30 seconds. Talking to all of my suppliers at work and everything. I was at the first game at the Ted, and I was there for the last. Would love to be there for the first game at Suntrust.

The Braves/Cards game is on Fox Sports as we speak.

If you'd like a good chuckle, check out the comments section on the Braves social media accounts. 90% of the general population losing their minds because of a bad spring training record.

People tend to overreact. It's Spring Training. The Cubs have a losing record as well, think their fans are worried?

And we already knew, but Ozzie Albies has been officially sent to minor league camp.

Braves vs Tigers is on live right now on Fox Sports.

This'll only be the 2nd spring training game I've got to catch so far seeing as how Charter changed up what channels were in what package last year and I no longer get the MLB Network.

It's only my second as well. I watched Sunday's game and now today.

Nice play by Phillips. This team may not win a shit ton of games this season but I think they'll be pretty damn fun to watch.

Around .500 is probably our ceiling, but if they finish .500, that means they're playing meaningful games in September, and then next season is playoffs or bust.

I think there's only been 2 or 3 televised so far this spring, right?

I think there's been a few on the MLB Network so far but couldn't swear to it.

Alright I'm going to try to post more consistently to the braves and MLB boards this year! I tend to disappear from this place after football season.

I'm holding back high expectations for this year. I'm interested to see how we play a full year under Snit, how STP plays and how the kids progress. I'm expecting around 75 wins this year, so anything above that and I'll be ecstatic. I still think 2019 is the year for us though.

Well. Shit. Everytime I check MLB Network its the same teams on...Red Sox, Tigers, Cubs etc

I really like MLB Network but they're starting to turn into ESPN in terms of actual game coverage. It's the same teams over and over. And I get you want to play to what's going to bring ratings but seeing the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs over and over again gets old.
