Spring is here
My phone rang in yesterday with the glorious tone that can only mean one thing: my first Braves score notification of the year from the AJC.
The problem with blogging about the Braves is the same as with blogging about much of anything: if you care enough, you probably already know as much as I do on the subject. But as anyone in Braves Nation knows, the big questions this spring are with the revamped right side of the infield and the impossible-to-project starting pitching.
While the first official game of the preseason isn’t much to base an opinion on, the box score from today’s 7-2 win over the dodgers is pretty encouraging. Infield question marks Kelly Johnson and Scott Thorman each had a hit and an RBI, and Kyle Davies threw two scoreless innings.
There’s also the slightly heretical question that no one is asking: whether adding Soriano and Gonzalez to the bullpen will make the team overconfident in their ability to stay in games. But I don’t want to rain on the one parade everyone seems to be universally happy about.
