“you better bring Kimbrel in now, you won’t want to loss the lead. Right Shaun?”
Just wait till this game is close in a few innings.

Anyone have an idea what Uggla’s K rate is this year compared to last? Is he striking out more than usual or just hitting the ball to people more?

bravesgrl4life, not sure if you saw this, as I posted it at the bottom of the old blog. But to answer your question, I use http://www.myp2pforum.eu mostly for online streaming when i’m home (I actually have an MLB.TV account too, so use that when I’m on the road for work, or to watch the archived game replays or condensed games after the games are over when I’m at home [that is actually a really cool feature, as you can scroll around to any point during the game easily, as well as slo-mo and a few other cool options]). You have to download StreamTorrent, but I haven’t had any problems from that, and have been using it since last year. Only problem with the free streaming sites, is that the video quality sucks, there is often a 4-5 pitch lag, and sometimes it pauses while buffering. Overall though, it’s better than nothing, and the price is right.

Brutal loss by the Marlins. Squandering a bases loaded one out in bottom of 9th, see I don’t hide. Questionable decisions by Fredi’s altar ego, but 4-2 against Rockies and Dodgers is okay.
I’m finally detecting a high level of disgust but not approaching 75% of the Blog so I will remain muted on the subject.
Am going to the Greensboro Grasshoppers-Greenville Drive game to check out Marlins’ affiliate.Greenville has really changed since Chipper was here from what I’ve heard.Would like to get some people to speak for the record.

Murph, Uggla’s strikeout rate is actually lower this season. So far it’s the lowest of his career in obviously a small sample. His walk rate is also the lower than in any other full season of his career. His line drive rate is lower but not to an extreme level and his BABiP is .181 versus .298 for his career. His homers per fly ball rate is about 1 percent lower than his career rate.
The walks are a minor concern but I think in the long run Uggla will be fine.

DOB and Melissa…plus, and I am going out on a limb here…but I’m thinking the Braves Girls/Cheerleaders (whatever they are called) could surely come up with some kind of dance number comparable to their “Country Boy” line dance on the roof of the dugout.
