Anybody got a scouting report on TBA?

[kcmets]

Fill in for TBD, it gets confusing...

[Lefty Specialist]

If Jake so much as winces, put him on the IL.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Reliable source (my phone) sez McNeil is back and active for both games. With all the doubleheaders, I'd expect Conforto soon, too, if he's able to go.

Ian Anderson takes time off from Tull again to pitch for the Braves in G1.

My twitter sez some dude making his MLB debut is to start game 1, LHP Kyle Muller.

'Gameday' sez Muller has an 18.00 ERA so he must got lit up an inning or two this year.

[cal sharpie]

Then that lineup makes sense if that Muller guy is pitching since it is the usual lineup these days vs. lefties.

Not seeing it, Baseball America.

[Edgy MD]

A walk, a sacrifice bunt getting the runner to second, a sacrifice fly getting him to third, and a run-scoring wild pitch.



Back in the Torre days, we called that a rally. Not all that different these days, either, but I'll take it.

[Edgy MD]

One hit in the last 14 2/3 innings, and it was a routine grounder through a spot abandoned by the secondbasseman.



He has 27 strikeouts in the same period.



Confounding.

[Edgy MD]

Laboring as he walks the pitcher followed by an infield mound conference, and I feel uneasy.

[nymr83]

David Schoenfield from espn:

Jacob deGrom became the first pitcher checked under the illegal grip substance guidelines as he left the mound after the top of the first. The umpire checked his hat, glove and belt and he and catcher Tomas Nido walked off with big smiles after getting cleared.

[Edgy MD]

Possibly the biggest inning of the year coming up.

[Edgy MD]

Yay, the shift (probably) steals one for him.



I guess he's OK.

[Edgy MD]

First hit of the game for the Braves on a misplayed fly ball to left center.



Despite deGrom's ridiculous success, he sure looks like he's grinding to me. But the Panda pops out.



I'm guessing he's coming out.

[Frayed Knot]

That OF goof was all part of the plan to make the Braves spend Sandoval before reaching the final innings.

[bmfc1]

Damn. But at least one of the dumbest rules in the game saves a run (with two outs, a runner on first should be able to score on a ground-rule double).

[Edgy MD]

Yup. Looks like McNelt has a bat and helmet.

[Frayed Knot]

OK now we may have to contact the Buffalo's agent.

[Edgy MD]

I hope Nido's OK, but I'd probably pinch-run for him here either way.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Frankie L., wanna make some friends?

Let's bust this thing open

[ashie62]

Wtf Lindor.
