Inside info – you’re being absurd. Who with any life cares? Some of you guys just seem to love to pile on brava because you perceive weakness….

So what if she might be a “hypocrite” now and then? And i’m not sure and don’t care. But the constant efforts to make her conform and to police her are just ridiculous.

Get off your fat asses and find something else to do if you’re so bothered.

Heyward’s hit .215 (.617 OPS) vs. LHPs, compared to .312 (.990) vs. RHPs.

Fredi cited his batting-average disparity as reason he moved him down in lineup today.

Haven’t watched a Braves game since I got back from San Diego… and doesn’t seem like I missed too much over the past few days. I did catch The Campaign last weekend. It wasn’t as funny as I hoped it would be but it was still good. A friend of mine had know idea who the Koch brothers were in real life so she didn’t get their parody of them in the movie which was half the fun.

Just my opinion, but we don’t get far in the playoffs without Uggla being a part of the offense. And he ain’t gonna get fixed sitting on the pine. Just sayin……..

Thank you nolie. I’d imagine it has more to do with my being a woman who doesn’t take crap off the cowards around here, than a perceived weakness.

Of course, I’m not blind to the fact that many here see being a woman as a perceived weakness and often let it be known in their comments. Perhaps that’s the problem with the name-changing coward.

Braves haven’t won since I was at the game on Tuesday night. We’re not going to make the playoffs at the pace we’re at now.

Hard to put your finger on the problem. Hitting and consistent pitching right now.

Shame we can’t use our right handed power against a lefty.

It’s not a fair comparison, but here is what a middle of the order hitter looks like:

Uggla/Braun
0 hit games – 58/34
2 hit games – 10/24
3 hit games – 5/13

I second that Brava — but Janish has done more than a commendable job in the field he has been outstanding in the field. I wish he could hit .250/.320 & he could have an everyday SS job. He is enjoyable to watch in the field and I think he and Simmons have helped Uggla’s D. Uggla is a better second baseman that I thought he was in spite of his hitting issues since he has been a Brave.

Well, come on Braves step it up and TAKE IT DOWN. There is opportunity to not play like BUMBS and gain ground. Win and let win, no excuses accepted.

I agree, Disgusted, and was in no way trying to short-change Janish’s contributions. The guy has been amazing at SS and a life-saver for the Braves during Simmons’ absence.

nolie

September 2nd, 2012

unfortunately I doubt Janish will ever learn to hit. I saw him some watching Cincy too and he was just terrible and in 1000 MLB at bats he is well under 600 IIRC. :(

Fourteen division titles and Bobby’s ego said the braves, without Mazzone could keep on winning titles. The next year with the same team the braves fell apart abd have never recovered. It may be twenty years before the braves win another title unless they hire a manager thats not obligated to Cox.

nolie

September 2nd, 2012
3:29 pm

You do know that Bobby was not the one who would have kept Leo, right? That was the GM.
But Leo had already amassed a rep around baseball as a hardhead who could not communicate with younger players, and since he has been out of baseball there have been many pitching coach hirings and not one team has shown any interest in him. Gotta be a reason for that.
He was ok no doubt, but he made his bones on the backs of three HOFers who would have been great no matter who coached them.

Dunkin Donuts are yankee doughnuts. Not really an option, and I don’t get the fuss over the coffee either.

====

In 1950, Bill Rosenberg opened the first Dunkin’ Donuts shop in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Vernon Rudolph bought a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe from a New Orleans French chef, rented a building in what is now historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC and began selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts on July 13, 1937 to local grocery stores.

I’d like to see him called up too Brava, but have seen nothing to suggest that they will. It is getting so expensive to call up guys cause the MLB minimum keeps going up, that fewer are doing so . We’ll just hafta wait and see

Brava

September 2nd, 2012
4:21 pm

Yeah, I imagine salary will come into play with that decision, nolie. He’d sure be a better bat than Hinske, going down the stretch and it would give them a chance to showcase him for possible future trade. With Freddie, he doesn’t seem to fit into the Braves’ plans.

Thanks for that optimism bolstering post, DOB.

I never figured out why, but there for a while it used to be a popular thing here for many to rip him and claim he was just another pitcher :?

Brava

September 2nd, 2012
4:26 pm

Isn’t Hinske still on the team? I meant physically replace on the roster. :)

But, yeah, Overbay is a HUGE upgrade from Hinske. I guess they’re holding onto Hinske for the supposed post-season good luck charm thingy. How’d that work for us last season?

Odds and ends: Uggla not happy; Chipper not planning a team meeting

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez shuffled his lineup for Sunday afternoon’s matchup against Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels. He moved Jason Heyward down in the lineup and stuck with his plan to keep Dan Uggla out of the lineup when he there is not a favorable matchup.

Gonzalez revealed this plan last Sunday before a matchup against San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum. But that did not stop Uggla from taking time to argue against this decision while meeting with his manager on Sunday afternoon.

“I hit a two-run homer off (Hamels) in the last game last year to put us up,” Uggla said. “It’s not a numbers thing for me, especially in September. It doesn’t make any sense to me at all…Nobody agrees with not playing. It’s just because I know what I can do, especially in September when I’ve been there before in big-game situations, especially last year. It’s frustrating to say the least.”

As Hamels was making a three-inning postseason tuned on the final day of the 2011 season, Uggla drilled a two-run homer off his nemesis. Still he has batted just .145 (8-for-55) with two home runs in his career against the veteran left-hander.

Uggla has recorded at least one hit in each of the past five games and homered twice during this span. Still he has batted .152 with a .276 slugging percentage in his past 73 games.

When the Braves face left-handed pitching over the next few weeks, Chipper Jones might continue to spell Heyward in the third spot of the lineup. During Sunday’s matchup against Hamels, Jones batted third and Heyward was moved to the sixth spot.

Heyward earned the opportunity to hit in the third spot while batting .293 with 18 home runs and a .990 OPS in the 80 games he has played since June 2. But against left-handed pitchers during this span, he has batted .225 with four home runs and a .630 OPS. Against right-handers, he has batted .349 with 14 homers and a 1.099 OPS.

No plans for a team meeting: Chipper Jones made it known that he has found no reason to hold a team meeting with the hope it might halt the Braves’ recent struggles.

“Trust me, when I feel like something needs to be said I say it,” Jones said. “That’s my job. I don’t need to say anything right now. I’m not going to harp on the past. I’m not going to harp on yesterday and I’m not going to harp on tomorrow. We show up. We play the game as well as we can today and let the chips fall where they may. Any other approach other than that is not a good thing.”

The Braves entered Sunday having lost 10 of their previous 14 games. Still Jones is among those from the baseball world who seem to believe team meetings can cause more harm than good.

“We are mindless numbskulls,” Jones said. “We need to think as little as possible. We’re routine oriented and regimented. Any break in that makes us start thinking. That’s when bad (stuff) starts happening.”

Good morning all
The MARLINS owners were smart enough to fire FREDI in midseason. Why arn’t we? This could be the answer, LIBERTY MEDIA may have kept more control of baseball operations than we are told [as I would if Iwere the owner] LIBERTY may have told JS and FW not to fire FREDI because he still has next year on his contract and they do not want to pay him not to MGR. Of course I never would have given a untested MGR than a one year contract.

nobody should be happy when they are sitting but to say it is understandable when Uggla is out of the lineup is an understatement too. Start hitting and then find yourself in the lineup daily. Do not produce at all – expect to sit

I have to say that I am more sympathetic to Fredi now than I have ever been.

Thank you Fredi for not accepting Cap Tipping as an excuse for this sorry offense.

Of course Fredi is probably seeing his job slip away, so Fredi has decided to stop tipping his own cap. If I were Fredi I would tell Mac and Uggla that I was sorry if I hurt their feelings but they are gonna sit for a while. Mac and Uggla will be back next year if they don’t get another hit this season. Fredi will be out of work and those two will still be cashing a check no matter how badly they stink.

everybody who wants the Braves to move Uggla needs to remember the only way we move Uggla is to either eat so much of his contract that it is not worth moving him, or we take a bad contract in its place.

Thank you, George, that’s very sweet. You’re one of my favorites, though, as you said, we don’t always agree. We’re always civil to one another.

DOB, looks like the little man had a movie meltdown. I do credit you that this time it was a statement I said and not someone else. The last time you went on a rant it was George who made the comment that you attributed to me. I also noticed that you never printed a retraction from that.

Check out all the presidents men and Zodiac for some movies with good reporters in them.

So keep up the good work you are 1 for 2. This kind of reporting is what makes some people mad. Ask Tim Hudson.
