I shudder to think of the number of runners Uggla has stranded this year thus far. It has to be epically bad.

I think the AS Break can’t come soon enough for Uggla, the quicker he doesn’t have to see anything baseball related the better off he’ll probably be. They just really need to tell him to “Git” for those few days … don’t think about anything, don’t do anything, just rest.

Question: Does a pitcher ever make a mistake vs. Uggla? Outside of the balls two inches from his chin that he goes after?

There is no shame in dropping Uggla in the order. How much more embarrassing is hitting 7th or 8th then killing the middle of the order?

that’s how you throw a runner out. Accurate throw, right on the money, and right at the base.

Ah, the season was lacking any sort of line up controversy. Another two weeks of Jordan Schafer tilting the CBI meter will change that in a hurry. Nate McLouth just went to his locker to grab some Rolaids.

O’BRIEN:
Been away all day so I didn’t get to see your response to my comment this a.m.
Just a quick thanx for the clubhouse insight on those two calls at second last night. The announcers were calling them safe on both counts and I agreed. Very interesting there was no comment either way from management or players. Not necessarily a good development to my mind.
Still, I think COX would at least have gotten a clarification on the field from the ump. Having FG stay in the dugout was definitely different, but that’s him I guess. New game in town all ’round.

Good showin by the O so far. But, I think Ricky Henderson could lead-off for this team and not steal a base. Is not being able to steal a base contagious like hitting and pitching?

I think the thing relaxing Jordan is the fact that we don’t need him to come up and try to hit a home run every time up, which is what he tried to do two seasons ago. We’ll be just fine with him playing within his game which is a .250-.270 hitter, good speed, and finally a decent arm in the outfield.
Question is, if he keeps this up what to do with Nate. He makes way too much to be sitting around on the bench. He could maybe bring back a decent bullpen arm in a trade. Who knows, I’m just happy Schafer looks to have figured things out.

Otis Nixon probably needs the money. We should bring him in few a few weeks to work with Schafer on watching the pitcher, getting a jump and not looking in. Not saying Schafer is ever going to be a real 50SB kinda guy… but he’s fast enough to grab a few and eliminating some of those caught stealings would be nice.

safe to say Fredi will have a hard decision to make once Nate gets back from the DL, especially if Jordan keeps hitting.

If Jordan holds down the lead off slot for a while the Braves have Marveeeen and Marteeeen at the top of the order.

If I was FW i would petition MLB to cancel all off days for the rest of the season…….The first day after an off day this team looks flat ,and it seems to take till the 7th or 8th inning for them to get going.

I think the time warp doesn’t bother me so much ’cause I remember this place when you had to wait five minutes to see a post.
BAS – Yes, but before during in-game comments, you had time to digest why someone sucked, down a beer, then post. Now, you post “that sucks” and McFann thinks you’re talking about McCann’s throw and your really talking about the HD reception comment.
