I was checking out the minor league roster and who do I see but DAMIAN MOSS in Triple-A. When did he come back to the Braves?Originally Posted by Go Bravos!!!#1

If I remember correctly after he was traded, after a brief good showing, Moss did so badly he was cut loose and Braves just rounded him up again late last year (I think).

Yea, Salty should be in AAA. I wonder how Pratt will cope this season in ATL. By next year he will be a free-agent so then we can callup Salty to be a back up catcher and play about 65-80 games and hit 8-15 homers.

But Villarreal, ( however you spell it ) showed some stardom yesterday and in the Mexican world baseball classic. Maybe he can pitch somewhere around 60-70 innings this year and have some good performances, I'm watching this guy.

Pregame:
Tonight I suspect the Braves will use Chuck James, Oscar Villareal, and Chris Reitsma out of the bullpen if needed. The Braves send John Smoltz to the mound, they hope he can give them 7-8 strong innings, so the bullpen is not worked much after the working it got yesterday. I suspect Matt Diaz could get the start in LF.If not tonight ,tomoorow night.
Brad Penny can be tough ,then again so can Smoltz. But with saying that, remember Smoltz's 1st start last year.
Oil up your baseball glove, fix some sandwiches, get a blanket and cuddle up with someone you love (gonna be a late one), and Watch the Braves play The Dodgers tonight on Turner South and FSN West(Vin Sculley) 10:00 EST. Can't wait to hear and see Don, Pete, Skip, Joe, Chip and Ron, and Mark the voices of the braves.
2 wins would be a great way to start the year.

I'll say Smoltz needs to move to his fastball a little more.
As it stands in the top of the 2nd, it's 4-0 Dodgers

Top of the 2nd: Braves down 4-1 and Brian McCann just hit a solo shot. Smoltz gave up a homer to J.D. Drew in the Bottom of the 1st. Hopefully, when I post again the outlook will be better.

Giles is a frickin' doubles machine, lets give our hope to Renteria now.

Lets talk about Smoltz if you heard Sutton he said that he is always rusty in the first inning of his first start. I coincidence... A bad one. He's probably only gonna play 4 innings then James will probably come in following him will be Villarreal and Davies. Hopefully We'll come back.

Pros and Cons of a double-header
Pro: Braves will get to start over.
Con: Bobby uses relievers a lot and they'll get tired.

Well the Padres and Giants have now been post-poned due to rain. As of now the Braves are still just in a rain delay. I hope we can still get this game in.
....And catch up

I hope (from a fan's POV) the Braves don't finish this game, but from the player's POV they want to get this game going again because if they can't play it'll be a day-night doubleheader tommorow. That's not what you want going into a 4 game series.
