Wow, didn’t realize Chipper’s BA was all the way down to .249. Nice hit by FF. Can’t wait to get J-Hey back healthy and for Uggs to start hitting. If that happens, this team can be really dangerous at the plat. I would lead JS at the top and Prado in the 2-hole.

Crap that is always the way. A player laces a big hit and the Braves have an opportunity to do more damage, but the subsequent hitters are retired in order.

Ya Chipper is rolling over and pulling off everything. Even his game winner was a weak rollover. He needs to go the other way, they are pounding him away. He looks bad and tierd. More days off are needed and his knee fixed, but most of all needs to go the other way like Chipper used to so well.!!!!!!

Larry Parrish: “Jordan, I have noticed that you have been working the count, taking walks and getting on base. That is nothing that we need on this club.”
Jordan Schafer: “I thought I was supposed to take pitches as a leadoff man.”
Larry Parrish: “I will tell you what I have told the rest of your teammates. I want you making outs early in the count because walks are for girls.” The only way we will win if we hack at every pitch in the zone.
Jordan Schafer: “I understand, thanks for the talk.”

When is McLouth due to come off the DL? Looks like they might be running Chipper out there til they can get someone else to play the outfield. Then, scope the knee, heal the groin, and get back to being Chipper.

Great 6th inning by Minor which may allow him to work into the seventh, but Fredi might want to lift him for a PH if his spot comes up.

Why would you want Gonzo to bunt? Wasn’t there no outs? And a runner in scoring position already? Bunt and you have 1 chance to hit a fly?
Bunting is way overrated.

I think someone should tell Conrad that just because he is taking Uggla’s place tonight, that doesn’t mean he has to hit like him too. Two strikeouts and a pop up. Damn good work.

Because McCann and Hinske were on base. Mac usually doesn’t score from 2B on a single. Fiqured since AGon loves to K and pop up why not get 2 in scoring position.
