Well, that was almost a complete waste of an inning.
“Almost” completely wasted, because Galarraga threw 33 pitches.

If our chubby assed catcher would hit a baseball like he hits the Pizza Hut and KFC’s, we’d be a much better team!

Hard to believe Galarraga threw 33 pitches, loaded the bases, got out without a run scoring and the Braves didn’t get one hit!
Still – think the Braves will be fine – our power is coming up in the second

Why should there be any ex team mate loe with Mr. HGH Schafer?
For what he was supposed to be he was nothing but an underachieving headache.
Did he not have a Pot charge in the off season????? He just seems like a dumb guy, and he never took responsibility for the HGH, always denied it. Whinney crybaby.

I think he shows a lot of disicpline. He hustles 100% – 100% of the time, never loses his cool, plays a competent 2B. Lots of players would be throwing bats and their ass in general after yet another failure.

“I think he shows a lot of disicpline. He hustles 100% – 100% of the time, never loses his cool, plays a competent 2B. Lots of players would be throwing bats and their ass in general after yet another failure”.
Those are all good qualities keyargo, but he has to start hitting at some time. The .210 BA is not good enough for his role and what he is making. Even his HR power is gone now.
I like Uggla as a player but since June he has had a miserable yr after what was a very good start.
