Marlins are trying to kill us with comebackers and broken bats. Sheesh.

Surprised that all of his clothes didn't go flying off after that line-drive comebacker.

Well, blue isn't helping matters, that thing was right down the freaking middle almost.

Julio Teheran continues his ridiculous spring.

6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 7 Ks.

He has 25 Ks in 20 IP this spring so far.

Teheran has looked impressive, I hope he keeps up half of that this season. Anything more would make him a solid middle rotation guy as a rookie. I really think moving Hanson was smart, he wasn't going to be worth the money and I don't think he delivery was going to get any better. He should of just started from scratch, but I digress...

I saw our first real taste of the Uptons with J-Hey yesterday. The Yankees game was on and there was some great base running and bloop doubles. I'm going to love seeing these guys for the next few years. Let's just not mention the H word or if they will be I-word, that's what we need to avoid.

Braves are crushing the Phillies today, 12-5.

Justin Upton has two BOMBS (the first probably went 450 feet) and a total of 5 RBI.

Freddie Freeman had an opposite-field homer that bounced off the LF's glove and over the fence.

Juan Francisco continues his awesome spring with an opposite-field homer to left-center field. He has 5 now on the spring.

I really hope we continue hitting bombs into the season, it's going to be fun if the bats are hot.

Juan Francisco has displayed some incredible power, but man does he get fooled badly on breaking balls. He's got an all or nothing approach at the plate and I'm not sure that's going to work. Chris Johnson hasn't shown the same kind of power, but his approach at the plate makes me lean toward wanting him to win the job.
