Again, just a reminder. Rain Delay will be moving here.
Braves: 2 Dodgers: 3 (Box Score)
- HoRam looked strong in his 6 innings or work. He allowed 5 hits, 1 run, struck out 3 and only walked 2 Dodgers. I'm still a bit iffy on Ramirez, but he gave me a bit of hope with the outing he turned in.
- So I'm ponying up the 14.95 a month for MLB.TV. So yesterdays game, I got the home team feed. It's been along time since I've heard Vin Scully call a game, and I must admit that I loved listening to him throughout the game.
- Marcus Giles is starting to make me nervous. For being our lead off guy now, he went 0-3. I know he's most likely playing catch up after missing a good chunk of the spring because of the premature birth of his daughter. With Opening Night, not that far off I hope he gets his head on straight. It still hard to think of him as a lead off guy, he's a perfect 2 hole hitter. He clocked in last year with a better OBP than Furcal.
- A former M started the game got the Dodgers: Aaron Sele. Who surprisingly looked pretty strong in his 3 innings of work. He pitched shut-out ball, allowed only 1 hit and struck out 1 and walked 1. I wonder if the Dodgers plan on keeping him around?
- Adam LaRoche swung a hot bat yesterday, going 3-4 with a dinger. Of course he only faced right handed pitching. Matt Diaz continued his spring eruption going 3-4 and pretty much nailing down the extra outfielder spot.
- Wilson Betemit may have only gone 1-3 at the plate, but it's his glove that made him stand out yesterday. He had a great day with the glove love.
- Only two other pitchers worked for the Braves yesterday. Aussie import Peter Moylan who could get tagged with the loss and Blain Boyer. Boyer looked solid in a inning of work, even recording a strike out in a 1-2-3 inning.
- The Braves are now 7-16-3 in Grapefruit League play. Not that any ones really counting.
Up Next: The Evil Empire (Yankees). Jorge Sosa takes the hill for the Braves.
