Regretfully, and with mild reservation….I will now say: yes I like Uggla as a guy’s guy….he does hustle and he ‘walks’ with the league’s best…..albeit, he was more than gracious to us in the V.I.P. area/session on one pre-game visit. Good in the clubhouse…..wait…….this is not what we had in mind the former begets his production since coming on board—-26 mil? As a 4spot line-up guy; he is a disappointment to say the least and I base this not so much on his HR numbers but his viability in critical situations in game when runners are on base preceding him. This is a business and he is a ‘fan pleaser’ but is unreliable as a clean-up hitter. However, I luz yoo Dan!

jeffery d – That Uggla comment is based on this past weekend’s preformance, I’m sure.
Heck, some people make comments like that based on one at bat, or one inning pitched.
And why just Uggla? I’d say that in the last several weeks, the “over paid and non-productive” list could include Chipper, Freeman and McCann. Though over paid would not apply to FF.

Funny how this whole season so far can be summed up by the article titles on the front page right now. Chipper aching…..needs rest (again). Young rotation pitcher blows up in the middle of the game yet again. Uggla on a cold streak……….blah blah blah. This team is going nowhere with Minor and Delgado both in the rotation right now. Besides, the rotation as a whole is just ugly right now. Aside from Hudson, the quadruplet of Hanson/Jurjjens/Minor/Delgado is just an unpredictable mess. Even when Hanson is “good” he only goes 5 or 6 innings.

Either way, they’re .500 for the month, even with struggles from McCann and Uggla, and Freeman not 100%. Those struggles won’t continue. Maybe get a few wins before the calendar turns, and it could still be a pretty good record for a brutal stretch of the sked.

Ok, so how about you start bunching your offense? Tons of hits against the Red Sox and still couldn’t score runs, lots of double plays it seemed.
Might be time to move Heyward to his rightful spot in the 3-hole. Gotta shake up the lineup. McCann is more of a 6 or 7 hitter at this point, same with Chipper. Not sure what you do after the first 3 guys in the lineup, but change should be in order.

Just reading Espinoza.com rumor mill. Nothing new there but sometimes I wonder what people there are smoking when they just throw stuff out there.
One thing that caught my eye is the suggestion that the marlins would trade Christian Yelich. For the perfect addition to the marlins maybe but otherwise no way. He hits for average, has good power, has lots of speed, and can play defense. The only thing keeping him from being a 5 tool stud is his arm. He would be our top position prospect easily. Not someone you just trade away at a deadline deal

Jeffery d – I love bluegrass. Picking up the banjo is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It cuts into my Braves Sunday games a little, but it’s worth it. We play every other Sunday at two different nursing homes.

Yeh, well…tough when you have a bunch of 6th and 7th and 8th hitters right now.
Heck McCann should be riding the bench with his production, same with Freeman, and same with Chipper Jones. If not, at least those guys aren’t 3-6 guys in the order. Bourn and Prado are perfect where they are, Simmons and Heyward should probably move up in the order. I guess that is how baseball goes.

I was told when I started that it would take around 5 years to be comfortable and confident. And they were right. But again, I started a ground zero. Also, I don’t read music. I play strictly by ear.

Maybe. But a lot of the same posters here who are screaming for it are the same posters who wanted him hitting in Gwinnett, too.
Fredo is only showing the same jaundiced eye that so many posters have displayed towards Heyward in the past: prove it, son, for more than 100 ABs. Me, I’d like to see him up in the order, too, but I’d much prefer that, once that happens, it happens for good. Maybe Fredo is of the same mind, and wants a little more assurance first.
Who knows? Right now, I have no doubt that Heap is moments away from a surge, and Uggla isn’t gonna move from 4, so hitting Heyward at 5 is probably the most one could expect. Given that, whether he goes 5, 6, or 7, probably isn’t much of a difference.

How’s the blog? Doom and gloom or optimistic?
I was feeling great about things after Friday’s game… never would have expected JJ to bring it the way he did. My first thought was “well, the team can focus on a bat bench now, rotation is solid”… and then Saturday and Sunday happened.
I didn’t watch either game, so hopefully someone can tell me, why was Delgado pulled so early? I realize he gave up 4(?) runs, but even with that, it seemed that he was yanked at the first opportunity. Was he that bad?
After seeing the highlights of the Minor game now I’m back to thinking that the team does indeed need to chase a Garza or a Dempster if they are going to stay in the race. But if they do… then what? Delgado or Minor… or JJ?
The rotation went from feeling totally solid to totally unsettled in the span of 3 days.

The way Heyward is hitting ball, he needs to be in the three hole. Better chance there’ll be runners on, what with Bourn and Prado in front.
Jason is just hitting the ball hard to all fields.
So, Fredi probably “rests” him Tuesday night.
Just my take.

Surge was a variation of a Norwegian citrus soft drink called Urge. Surge, like Urge, was produced by the Coca-Cola Company to compete with Pepsi’s Mountain Dew (Mello Yello, on the other hand, was introduced in 1979 as another Mountain Dew rival by Coke, but Surge had a more “hardcore” edge much like Mountain Dew’s advertising at this time).

Unless he keeps hitting homers and doubles, after slow guys in front of him (Freeman and McCann) keep grounding into double plays. I’d rather have a string of production, with less of a chance of hitting into the automatic DP, which is McCann and Freeman on any ground ball in the infield/shallow outfield.

I think the odds of Freeman and McCann continuing to hit sub-.250 while Heyward continues to go sub-.400 are a little slim.
Again, I’m not averse to seeing Heyward up in the order, but rearranging the entire lineup off his 70 June PAs is just as bad as wanting him to hit 8th (or worse) off his 100 PAs in May. Those aren’t good reasons for moving the kid around in the lineup.
However, that does not preclude the notion that there actually are good reasons for moving him up in the order. It’s just that a month of performance isn’t one of them.

Really? IMO, the rotation went from solid to unsettled the day Beachy went down. The other guys have been inconsistent. Delgado has been good, but has shown at times why he is a rookie. Minor’s been bad this year, especially after the 3rd inning, and JJ, well, that was just 1 start. I don’t know if our rotation is good enough to win in the playoffs (still think we get there), but we need to let these guys keep pitching.
Garza/Dempster are going to cost too much, and we need to get these young guys (especially Minor) experience in the bigs. They’ve already proven they can pitch in AAA, we need them to do it here in the Majors now. It’s the only way they’ll learn and get better for next year.

This may sound crazy, but I still think Polished can be a solid #3 starter.
However, I am not at all shocked that he came down from what people were saying after that Arizona start in April – “the so-called draft gurus were wrong, and Mike Minor has been worth the #7 overall pick in the 2009 draft and then some…..” “Keith Law and the rest of em don’t know what they are talking about, Mike Minor has proven them all wrong”.
Sorry, just had to add that in. Couldn’t believe what was being said after that Zona start, given that the kid still had an ERA of 4.50 after that spectacular, small sample of one start.

It’s time to move those guys out of those spots… it’s been that time for quite a long time.
It’s been 17 games for Uggla. He’s hit .127/.324/.200/.524 over 17 games. Prior to that, his previous 55 games, he hit .276/.384/.492/.876.
I guess my question is, if 17 games is “quite a long time,” how are you measuring time?

When Minor gets rattled he completely looses the ability to hit the strike zone. Like I’ve said before, his issue is that 6 inches.

Well apparently, Huddy’s ankle is still hurting, if one more guy goes down with an injury…I think the Braves do deal for a starter. Problem is, I don’t think there is a decent starter out there. I’d like to see Minor or Delgado pitch in a more legit park to judge their results. I said it about Jurrjens, you can’t judge his results at Fenway if they are bad, just a bad park to pitch in, to a team with a DH and whose offense has been good as of late.

Heyward at .260/.360/.444 for his career now. 118 OPS+ through his first 1,348 plate appearances in the bigs, ages 20-23……
Hah! I can finally post that after this hot streak and not feel like it was all the first two months of his rookie year skewing it….
