The Braves’ outfield has been a great bright spot this season, especially considering it was so bad last year. There was an article on ESPN recently about the Giants’ OF, and they mentioned that they were second in combined WAR to the Braves’ OF.

At least he is making contact, but that is when you know you are going bad when you have a double robbed from you that becomes a GIDP.

Chipper at .304 is pretty cool. On base has got to be close to .400 now too.

Even when he hits it hard, ALL STAR DAN creates a double play, and kills the rally. That’s the Braves ALL STAR, ladies and gentlemen, Worthless Dan Uggla.

Indeed. He just got robbed there, but it was solid contact. July 5th is almost here…. this is how he started his hitting streak last year
Meds looking good. Better than JJ…

For tonight at least, been a little disappointed in Meds this year but he is coming back from injury and didn’t pitch much last year so i’ll give him a break.

If there is such a thing as “KARMA” Uggla will have a huge all star game, the NL will win, and Uggla gets MVP. That’s how Karma usually works.

2. Venters and A level pitcher to angels for boujos and Richard
3. Medlen to the Royals for Aaron Crow and a prospect

i would actually have tiny bit of respect for people saying that defense “saved” JJ by letting in un-earned runs or whining that he didn’t miss any bats – even when they know that’s not his game, if they just say that JJ is a POS they wish to get rid of, instead of this passive aggressive crap and pretending to sort of supporting him and hoping that he has some success for braves’ sake. at least uggla and Fredi haters have their own power of conviction behind their hatred.
