Unknøwn 13,608 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Snitker said Soroka was able to participate in drills today. He fielded comebacks, bunted and of course threw a side session. Fielding and running are his only remaining hurdles. TheTrue7, CrimsonFalcon, labradford and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I’ll hang up and listen Chipper has worked a lot with Camargo in the early days. Camargo also played winter ball and supposedly came out of that feeling pretty good. labradford and tl;dr 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unknøwn 13,608 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Braves signed Terrance Gore to a minors deal. Gore was not invited to camp but gives the Braves elite speed at AAA if they need a late season PR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Friendly Folk 1,510 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I think more needs to be discussed about the Snicker extension. I’d say there are definitely pros and cons to this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Pfeifer was DFA'd to open up a 40 man spot. Phil Pfeifer has been outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unknøwn 13,608 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 The day is here, baseball has returned. Here is your first lineup of 2021. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknøwn 13,608 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Freeman will join the team tomorrow as he clears all covid protocols. New Spring rules allow pitchers to be used more than once. You could bring in a RP to practice getting a key final out and then insert your SP back into the game the next inning. Managers of the team on defense also have the ability to end an inning before the 3rd out. If 20 pitches have been thrown and an AB is not currently in progress you can choose to end the inning. These new rules are all to help with the smaller amount of bodies in camp. The minor league teams aren't allowed this year due to covid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
