With Chip it’s “Dan has a double (lol), an RBI and 2 strikeouts. “NOT he’s 1 for 3…WAIT…now he’s 1 for 4.
And BTW…how can he NOT hustle?? Is he supposed to walk to first? Take only a step to catch a ball?? Lord, even Fredi would sit him if he looked like he was totally a waste.

Only 4 fours after 7 innings against the lousy Astros? That’s it? 4 Runs! Same old weak Braves offense.
Uggla’s night: That “double” the official scorer gave Uggla was so clearly an error by the Astros SS. What a farce, a hometown ruling if there ever was one. Then in the 7th Uggla can’t even get a hit against a minor league pitcher.

Pretty sure it did but you’re right its a hit all the way. Can’t give a guy an error because he loses the ball.
Usually they average out with bloops, nubbers, obvious bad hops, and balls in the lights neutralizing line drives hit at somone or guys making web gems on you.

My major concern with Uggla is that it is starting to look very mental. Even in the slump last year, he hit bombs because he could still turn on a cookie fastball. He is yanking on EVERYTHING, has completely forgotten about RF and is a groundball hitting machine, like someone we knew of recent vintage. That little opposite field gork he hit against the Dodgers earlier in the year to drive in a crucial run in a win is not there anymore in his repetoire.
I am not kidding when I say that Uggla is suffering from a severe case of McLouth-oma.

Nice to have a shut down closer.
Best pure closer that we have had. Smoltz was the best but he was not a pure closer.
We have had three shutdown closers in Rocker (for 1 yr), Smoltz and this kid who health permitting is the establishment closer for a long long time.
Oh, I forgot, Billy Wagner for one yr. Wonder if Billy Wagner would ever be a pitching coach someday, he was a mentor to these guys.

Hudson has been a great Brave, better than I have given him credit for.
He only had one so so season since he has been here. Since the surgery, he came back better.
I hope he can be around after ‘13. Who says he cannot pitch till he is 41 or 42?
And the option for ‘13 is a bargain. Big bargain.
