Braves 5-Twins 0, Kirilloff 2 errors but Twins pitchers hold Luplow hitless.

Get the leadoff guy on first (huh, I thought everyone on this team strikes out), then three sac bunts bring him home - or for style points, two bunts and then a sac fly.  Oh wait.

Baseball really is a beautiful game when you think about the various way it's balanced.

Yeah not that hard to follow moving guys over vs. striking out can have its benefits.

Spring trading does not matter. At least the starters are looking good, just the third string losing all these games.

When will they start playing the starters regularly?

I'm no expert, but it seems to me sac bunting won't result in more runs scored if followed by "back to back strikeouts."

 

Take me through how that works, please. 

Don't you at least get 3/4ths of a run if you get the guy over to 3rd?

Most home games the lineup is pretty much starters with the occasional other thrown in. Away games is very different. Of course they substitute players in the 4th or 5th inning, but as players get sent to MiL camp, and the deeper into ST we get, the starters will begin going deeper into games. The game I went to it was Santana, Correa, Buxton, Lewis, Kepler, Castro, Vazquez, Martin, Wallner.

Afternoon intra-squad games. Saw Raya pitch the other day. He’s good. Saw others. Don’t remember who all. Jenkins.
