Jose Abreu

All of this started with Flowers.

Wow. Unearned runs.

This place is even emptier than it was yesterday.

At this rate, we'll dive into the 'pen in the 6th again.

Next practice: 3 hours of rundowns.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:56 PM) Escobar is going to rob a bank if he makes an out. What if he half makes an out like that?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:55 PM) I liked him even better as a Charlotte Knight. Or as a Gwinnett Brave.

I liked Flowers better as 17. Actually, I liked Flowers better as 39.

In 2.2 games, Eaton has 2 dives into 1st.

46 pitches for Hughes through two innings.

Sometimes Eaton looks like he's not even looking. He just goes up there and flails at the ball.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:45 PM) I'll take Flowers striking out, does anyone want to take any other outcome? Yes.

Flowers can hit!

DE AZA STOP IT

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) Each fan in the stands should take a turn every half inning. They'd run out of fans after the 5th

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) 1st walk of the year. He walked all the time in ST. Or at least when I watched.

Another walk for Eaton

This looks even emptier than yesterday.

Quintana keeps doing this weird arm-stretch thing right after Flowers catches the ball

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:02 PM) What I should have said was "from Opening Day." I just think you should leave Semien at one position (2B) and that Garcia should be the one you move around between 3B/SS/2B interchangeably. He hasn't gotten a hit yet this season, it would be nice if he could get comfortable in one place instead of having to also focus on changing positions defensively. I see your point, but I'm not sure if Leury can play 3B. Leury Garcia Career: Position/Games 2B/22 SS/7 CF/6 3B/6 So I guess he can, but it seems like he's more of a 2B/SS/CF- much like Alexei.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 01:00 PM) WGN America game, for all of you out of towners! I know. It's nice to be able to watch on a real TV and not a laggy iPad.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Why are they moving Semien around already? I can understand with L.Garcia, he's not an integral piece of the long-term plan at this point, but I don't know why they're seemingly content with turning Semien into a utility guy. Just increasing his versatility before Beckham returns? Still don't get that, because he should be in Charlotte playing everyday at either SS or 2B, one or the other. Probably 2B, with Carlos Sanchez at SS. They didn't move Semien around. He played 3B yesterday.

Dunn batting right after Abreu again? Why, Robin? Do you really want more IBBs for Jose whenever we have [a] runner on with first base open?

-Alexei needs to hit #2 -Leury is a good bunter, perfect superutility/pinch-bunter/pinch-runner guy -Stop walking Abreu -Dunn actually came through in the 8th with that HR

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 2, 2014 -> 05:28 PM) Alexei should be hitting second tomorrow.
