Dustin Ackley is the man this Spring.

Batting .500 on the Spring, HR away from the cycle today ... 2 RBI's. Please Ackley-san ... live up to your prospect hypes.

And then he'll proceed to stink it up in the regular season.

Nope. I have faith. He LOOKS different and doesn't have Eric Wedge there shitting up with his swing.

but what about Cano corrupting him with all dat laziness

This is the 3rd game Cano has missed cause he had a root canal.

What a fucking baby!

 

[CygnusXS]

The Braves snuck our top SS prospect into a game today at second base. He hit a double in his only PA. I'm very excited to see how Peraza develops over the next couple of years. It would be nice if he could add a little pop into his game.

 

[cashman]

boooooooooom

 

[Macattk15]

Holy shit. Montero can't even play 1B ... just cut the guy already! Waste of a 40 man spot!

Spoiler

edit : then he hits a 2 run opposite field HR off Beckett .... fuck. Oooooh back-to-back Montero-Romero HRs.

hahaha beckett sucks

Them flat Beckett fastballs.

I'm trying to convert a buddy of mine into a baseball fan but I feel kind of bad at the same time because it would mean making him a Mariners fan.

Asking one person to be both a Mariners fan and a Canucks fan is simply unfair.

Just tell him not to expect much and open his heart to heartbreak. Things will be ok. The Mariners might win the World Series some day ..... and then my fandom will be vindicated (I just hope it is before I die).

There are worse baseball fates. He could be a Cubs fan.

I've told him that playoffs could be a possibility in the next three years, but he has never watched a full baseball game so there's a long road ahead in the development of his fandom.

Montero with 2 opposite field HRs tonight. Still got the roid powa!

hahaha beckett sucks

Leave Beckett ALLOOOONE.

I was going to post it, but there was an incident this week where the Miami Marlins organization were upset that the Red Sox did not start their regular season lineup. Reason being? They charged fans a premium ticket cost and they wore their regular season uniforms to give the illusion of it being a regular season game.

To sum it up, the Marlins were "outraged" and proceeded to contact the league about it.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...-red-sox-lineup-blog-20140306,0,1509042.story

The Red Sox GM, Ben Cherington, responded to the Marlins with a basic explanation/apology of some sort, “they had some injuries and were working on some things.”

Then last night, John Henry responded on Twitter with this.

Marlins response.

Edinson Volquez sure is looking good.

STL has inked Aledmys Diaz to a four year deal, according to a couple of sources: Cardinals Sign Aledmys Diaz. I can't say I really "get it" given that you have M. Carpenter at third for 6 years and Peralta at SS for four but I guess it makes the Yankees sweat so good move?

With Peralta not having a NTC, and he's getting paid more in his first two years, I doubt he's here the length of the deal.

That makes some sense and I love not having a black hole in the farm at SS but they profile so similarly (with more power for Peralta obviously) across the same timeframe it's interesting to say the least. I guess you could also view him as insurance for Wong which makes me feel for the latter.

Medlen may have just died in the middle of throwing a pitch. Stay tuned.

The Mets are a jinx to the Braves. Today with Medlen,Hudson last year, and didn't Medlen get hurt the first time against the Mets? Sorry Braves fan.

Niese also tried to murder Heyward last year, but settled for breaking his jaw.

 

[CygnusXS]

Forearm strain for Meds. Well there goes his career.

 

[Enron]

Forearm strains usually accompany elbow issues. So much for the Braves rotation. Thanks Cygnus.

 

[CygnusXS]

The Mets are the true enemy.

 

[Enron]

this doesn't look good at all

 

[Loco4Coco]

Watch Plawecki be better than d'Arnaud.

Braves just collapsed in the 8th.

 

[cashman]

Skipping off the mound? He's lucky McCann isn't on the team anymore.

The VEB posts on him a few weeks ago kinda deflated my hype for Diaz so I hope he turns out better than expected.

McClendon on Montero (6×10 in last three days with 2 HR, 2 2B, 5 RBIs): “He got better the last three days. He was horse(spit) before then.”

— Bob Dutton (@TNT_Mariners) March 9, 2014


I love it. McClendon is gonna have some good quotes this season .... so much better than Eric fucking Wedge.

No fun allowed.

Wait hes a Yankee now I can't make fun of him anymore

Forearm strain.

forearm strains accompany elbow damage

reep Barves

 

[rando14]

Spring training kings babbyyyyy!!!

 

[Macattk15]

reep Barves

Yep. He's fucked. Strasburgs original diagnosis was also a forearm strain.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Medlen's already had Tommy John surgery, and Fredi said his "spirits" were a lot better after the trainers examined him. They don't seem to think it's much of anything.

I doubt most of you can read but just in case Where Nobody Knows Your name is a pretty good book about baseball players but a terrible book about baseball.

Also John Feinstein is kind of an ok writer. But he is a shitty reader. He reads his own audiobook. Not great.

 

[Windu]

I doubt most of you can read..

 

[Mr. Enigma]

More Braves fun.

Brandon Beachy's velocity was down today and he left his start after only two innings.
