For those that don't know, the Braves's game vs. the Red Sox tomorrow at noon CST will be broadcasted on ESPN

No. Cheer for the Braves and any other team

http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/article_7dedd9d0-4a7c-11e0-8d42-0017a4a78c22.html Atlanta's Single A manager was hit in the face by a foul liner from BMac in the first inning of today's game. He stopped breathing and was knocked unconscious, but after being airlifted to a hospital he is doing ok. Brian stepped back in, took strike 3, and left the game to go to the hospital

Good news is I've heard Mike Minor looks like a stud. I haven't seen him yet this year so it's secondhand info., but I feel VERY comfortable with him being the 5th starter

Yeah I saw his start against Detroit and I was not impressed. Yeah, hopefully it'll be under control come opening day

I won't be going to opening day since its in Washington D.C. I'm trying to land tickets for the home opening game

Looking good so far. Freeman is 1 for 1 with a walk. Chipper got a hit, so does Hinske. JJ went 3 and gave up 2 runs, one was a homer. Venters pitched a scoreless inning. Right now its 2-1 Tigers in the top of the 7th

This is a warning guys. This thread is for talk about ATLANTA BRAVES. Nothing else!!!!

No argument from me there. Varnadore is a complete stud! The way he works reminds me of Roy Halladay. With him and Morris we have two legit aces on this team, which is just crazy

Yeah, I can't wait to see him in full action. I know it's a longshot, but I would LOVE to see what Varnadore AND Morris could do against that team. I was hoping Morris would get the start tomorrow, but John Luke Jacobs is. Hopefully Morris will get in the rotation soon. I've heard some crazy good things about Morris, and I can't wait to find out if they're true. I caught his relief appearance, but he seemed distracted and didn't seem to have his control down tight then, which I attribute to him making his debut performance

Ah that's awesome man. Tell him he needs to be put in the starting rotation. I'm sure I'll miss some eventually. I've just missed baseball alot, so I've taken every opportunity I can get

Yup, exactly. Spanish Fort High School class of '09. Sounds alot like me. While I didn't play baseball in high school (tennis team man myself), it's always been my sport, and I couldn't live without it. Hadn't missed a game yet myself

Ha, that's the way to go. Yeah, I'm a sophomore-bout-to-turn-junior in aerospace engineering. Always nice to talk to other students here! Do you go to AU baseball games?

You ain't kidding my man. Especially when you have mlb.tv and watch games in physics instead of paying attention. Do you go to Auburn?

Yeah I think you got it. From an interview I saw of Chipper talking about him, it seems like he has had a bit of an attitude adjustment and is trying to be more aggressive at the plate. I'm hoping he has a great year, because if so, then we really won't have a big weak spot anywhere on the team

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Prado, McLouth, Heyward with Shafer as a fourth. Who knows, hopefully last year was just a fluke for McLouth, but those who were here during last season known my feelings toward McLousy

Yeah, analysis of the spring rotation points to D-Lowe, but I agree that Huddy deserves it.

Yeah so did I. That is such and ausome clip

Yeah, but only because of Rod's call . Otherwise I wouldn't have known

I've been hearing nothing but good things out of spring training. Mike Minor threw 2 innings of 3 up 3 down ball yesterday, Freeman has been tearing it up, hitting 5 double I think, Hinske's gone deep, and best yet, Nate McLouth is having a GREAT Spring, at least from what I've heard. Also, Chipper seems to be coming along nicely

First spring training game is Saturday!!!!

Why does this not surprise me?

That's just fine by me. Just kidding golf. I can't wait for baseball. Here's to a successful, injury free season, and a Braves-Yankees World Series

You're not kidding. Chip would make an amazing hitting coach. I really hope we keep him in the system after he retires from playing. I do think he will have a pretty good year. Not great, but good. Overall it should be a fun year. Man I can't wait. At least Auburn baseball starts in a week
