Notes: Bucs Visit Braves After Boston Spanking; MLBPA Points Finger; Central Home Growns

Today: The Bucs visit Atlanta at the Kissimmee/Lake Buena Vista ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Walt Disney World Resort's Champions Stadium (that's a mouthful of ballpark!) The game starts at 1:05 and will be webcast by MLB.com. Steven Brault gets the opening call. Colin Moran is getting a look in the two-hole in an interesting move; hopefully he takes to it better than Andrew did.


Yesterday: Not an auspicious start for Ivan Nova, who gave up three runs and a dinger in his two frames. But it was a bad day all around as the Bucs were clobbered by the Bosox 13-2 with only Jameson Taillon spinning sharp. Starling Marte had two hits and S-Rod went long. Been a long week in Florida...

Notes:
  • Kyle Glaser of Baseball America looks at the home-grown talent in the NL Central; the Bucco farm, outside of outfielders, doesn't stack up as well as you may think.
  • The MLBPA filed a grievance against the Pirates, Rays, Athletics & Marlins over spending, or lack thereof, of revenue sharing money. Tactically, it's more a team shaming move than legal remedy as the union tries to build a PR case against the clubs.Here's the Pirates response.
