Some things never change. Braves can’t beat the worst team in baseball at home. Fredi trying to manage, and UGGLA failing to produce with runners in scoring position with 1 out. Has this dumbass ever heard of hitting the ball to the right side of second base?? Don’t think so, and he could care less about playing team baseball.

Uggla should not be hitting in front of either Ross or Janish. And it’s a shame that we couldn’t seem to find a way to score these runs when Medlen was in there.

I can’t imagine the amount of acomplishments on Chipper’s career had he been a little healthier.
I know two years where he had major knee surgeries that would have put him over 300 hits easily. No telling how many hits he would have totaled without all the many injuries.

Never should have moved Chipper from 3B for Vinny Castilla. Huge mistake. Just like moving Prado from 2B to LF when we should have signed Willingham or a proven high obp producer for left field. Stupid Wren and his awful judgement signed struggla for too much money and too many years.

2 automatic outs in this lineup, our leadoff man and supposed RH power hitter. Is this any way to run an offense? Fredi better start thinking about some lineup juggling when Simmons returns; plus you’ve got a perfectly good ballplayer sitting on the bench named Johnson.
