Not a fan. She has no ties to the southeast. At least Wingert went to LSU.

This makes no sense. Kelsey has been with the team since the rebuild. My guess is some jealous wife from the front office made the call to push Kelsey out. I can’t really picture KW stealing money or spilling top secret info.

Edit: I didn’t make the season long in-game thread for the first time in two years. Therefore we’re guaranteed to win the World Series this year.

Depends on if you consider Missouri in the south. She’s a Mizzou grad, but I think that actually makes it worse

After some light harassment from Ron Washington, @Braves Acuña proceeds to flick 11 HR in a row to opposite field. Easily hit over 25 in BP and it may have been the greatest show in BP I’ve ever since Mark McGwire hit the Coke Bottle at Turner in 97’...

I can’t remember his name but a dude from the Red Sox at the Ted was the craziest BP I’ve ever seen. He hit 10-15 straight into the 755 club

Inside the Braves Episode One

The Braves are doing their own “Hard Knocks” for spring training. This is awesome.

BPTiger, thanks for sharing this.

I DVRed the Braves Orioles ST game and I'm trying to not read a whole lot into it because even the Orioles ML roster is terrible, and they weren't even playing those guys.

1. No radar gun read outs were being displayed on the broadcast, so I couldn't really see how his speed was, but I really like how Felix kept the ball down in the zone. Even when he was missing, he was missing too low instead of leaving a meatball out there.

2. Camargo still has the glove to play 3B. There were at least two sharply hit balls down the line that he made good plays on and got the runners out. I think he also initiated a DP on another groundball. It is good to see he wasn't displaying have any defensive cobwebs.

3. RAJ hustled out of the box on both of his ABs that I saw. Since that was a big knock on him last season maybe he is making a conscientious effort to shake that label.

4. CoolToday Park and the rest of the ST complex look amazing.

great start for King Felix this weekend. I predicted that he will likely be out of the organization by the end of spring training, but I really hope I am wrong with that. I'd love for him to prove himself as a 4th or 5th starter. I'm also ready for Wright to make the jump and become a fixture, so I'm conflicted. The Braves have so many damned pitchers lol

acuna's issue was never hustle. It was pimping every well hit ball like it was a homerun.

Ben Ingram was saying the other day that while Felix looked good, his velocity is still way down and that the Braves plan to go hot hand at the fifth spot at the end of ST. Hoping he can keep it up but I still have my doubts

1B Freddie Freeman has been scratched as a precaution with right elbow inflammation. 1B Yonder Alonso will hit third and play first base.

apparently Youtube TV is dropping the regional Fox Sports networks...so if you rely on them to watch the Braves every night...time to make a change.

frick Sinclair and everything about them.

PS Vue was a great service that just folded so I get YouTube TV and now this. The Hulu interface was created by retard slapfighting with keyboards.

I hope YouTube TV resolved the issue or I’ll be forced into AT&T Now or, gasp, back on the cord.

Or just pirating it. I almost feel like that is the right thing to do because Sinclair deserves it.
