Braves Over Astros 6-4
Thankfully, wins and losses aren't the important aspect of spring games. Some thoughts about the game....THE GOOD
- Backe with 2 IP and no runs or hits allowed, and only one BB. We're counting on Brandon, and hopefully this peformance is a good omen.
- Matsui with a good game: 1 for 2 with run scored and RBI (sac fly) and 1 stolen base.
- Wigginton continues to have a good spring at the plate. He has 2 RBIs.
- Jose Cruz, Jr. finally broke through at the plate with 2 hits.
THE BAD- Sampson with 3 runs allowed on 6 Hits in 2 innings.
- Relief pitcher struggles...Paronta and Geary, who both had previous rough outings, gave up runs.
Did I leave something out?clack - March 2, 2008
I was out of town. . .
this weekend, so missed the games--thanks for the PBP, everybody.Also, if I missed that someone posted this elsewhere, then I apologize. But it's worth a revisit, anyway--Roy's comment is priceless!
