Tigers/Braves breakout game at 4:05 this afternoon. I’ve watched a couple of these games. This one should be entertaining.

Yup...Greene won't be playing CF. Even though he's our best option and we have several players who can fill in at LF. Okie-dokie.

They are trying to cut down his mileage.   But, if you really only need to do this for 2-3 weeks, shouldn't you?

He seems to be Mr. Glas. There’s just a lot of territory in CF for him to cover and more chances to get a boo-boo.

Flaherty ran everyone off early. I hope Fetter can get things turned around for him. 

or maybe Flaherty is tinkering with a few things that he won't be doing when they start counting.

couldn't/wouldn't throw a breaking ball strike to a LHB, everything was outside.

Tiger starter batters haven't looked all that great all week. They were making Suarez look like Cy Young today of course.

Expecting guys who are absolutely going to be on the OD roster to lock in like normal is asking a lot.   

Spring Training can fool ya.  

Mike Laga was the King of Spring.    Hit .199 over 9 MLB seasons with never more than 6 Home Runs in a season.

As soon as the season starts, I expect us to find out that Spring training performance means practically nothing just like every year.   

I sense things are shifting though. Pitchers are coming to camp already throwing at full velo, and it at least seems to me that the arrangement where our starters play your starters for 5 innings or 3 AB is becoming more the rule, so there are fewer AB by established vets against scrub pitchers or top pitchers against AA scrubs - at least trend wise.

all granted - and of course today just to prove the exception to the rule,  Tork, Greene and Ibanez were the only guys on base twice, two of whom are locks and the third is getting pretty close. :classic_biggrin:

I think Ibanez is a lock.

It was. Tiger cubs looked good. Really, really good. Bryce Rainer especially was outstanding.

His first pro game. Somebody tell him not to set the bar too high.
