I know that John Smoltz said he was going to change up his spring training by throwing more simulated games and games against the minor leaguers in the Braves organization but I didn't know his new regime would also include pitching to golf stars. Apparently, I don't think outside of the box enough because one of the batters Smoltz faced on Wednesday was none other than Tiger Woods. Smoltz along with Braves teammates Tom Glavine and Jeff Francoeur took on Woods in his more familiar playground, the golf course on Monday and pretty much got smoked. So it's only far that John returned the favor by striking out Woods twice and allowing for what is being called a "controversial single" in his final at bat.
"I've got the second baseman making that play," pitching coach Roger McDowell deadpanned.Smoltz also faced teammates Chipper Jones, Tim Hudson and Francoeur in his simulated game.
