We are officially 2 weeks away from Opening Day. Braves open March 30th in DC. Unfortunately it is a day game with a 1:05 first pitch. Braves open with 3 in DC and 3 in St Louis. The home opener is April 6 vs San Diego.

Glavine told the AJC he's scheduled for 35-40 games in the booth. Mark Bowman said Bally has also had talks with John Smoltz about filling in for some games. 

"Is it okay with you if our checks don't clear?"

Wright never was ruled out of making a turn, if Soroka gets on the mound quickly and knocks off the rust, I wonder if he could take that 5th spot? Seems unlikely at this point, but it doesn't sound like he's much further back than Wright.

Even if he sucks for a bit, it would be great to see him out there. What a great story of perseverance, and a personal success for him.

Shuster may have won himself a spot today.

RHP Nick Anderson added to an impressive spring. He came on in the 5th with one on and no outs and immediately got a double play and a pop out to end the inning, then gave up a walk and struck out one in a scoreless 6th. He's got options so he may go to Gwinnett anyway, but he looks like one of the best relief arms in camp. His stuff looks filthy.

This week begins the Braves broadcast coverage. Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are all going to be broadcast on Bally.

Wright will start Monday's game. Soroka threw a 2 inning sim game yesterday. His fastball was touching 93.

Grissom is not at SS for the fifth straight game. Snitker had some he wanted to get a good look at Shewmake. According to DOB the loser of the SS battle between Shewmake and Grissom will be headed to AAA. They won't make either sit on the bench. They have Arcia to backup SS. It's basically down to how comfortable they are with Grissom's glove. Shewmake is the weaker bat but strong defense is his thing.

Just hope this SS situation works out.

As of rn there is uncertainty at SS, LF and bottom of rotation.
