Game Recap Now, Game Thread Later

It was unfortunate that the site was having so many technical difficulties during the Braves/Pirates game yesterday because the game thread would have been pretty lively.

For the first time almost since spring training began, the Bucs’ bats awakened, which resulted in a 6-1 win over the Braves at LECOM Park.

Hey, if people are going to get bummed about the Bucs losing in spring training, can’t we be encouraged when they win?

As it turned out, the Braves’ sole offense was in the first inning, which started when Dansby Swanson doubled off starter Tyler Anderson and at center fielder Oneil Cruz (no, “center fielder” was not a typo).
