Man a 3-0 pop up by Uggla with runners 2nd and 3rd? Not very good. COuld be turning point of the game unless Ross delivers

All because Uggla gets special treatment from the skipper.

If we lose this game WE LOST IT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 6TH INNING.
I don’t care if Nationals get 3 runs of Kimbrel. This loss is on Dan Uggla and David Ross for failing in the 6th inning.
Mac might be hitting 230 but noway in hell does he put up a pathetic at bat like Ross just did

Gearrin does have something some of the players on this team don’t have. Luck. He has had some rockets hit off him right at people all year. That 069 ERA is smoke and mirrors.

What will it take to get Struggla out of this lineup once and for all?
Like Derek Lowe before him, Struggla is living off one good month. The rest of his time with the Braves, he’s been awful. But because he’s grossly overpaid, we keep running him out of there.

Let’s pick up some runs before Uggla comes up again.
Veer

10:28 pm
Uggla to his credit had the right idea mentally he just didn’t execute it. Runners 2nd and 3rd no out 3-0 count. Uggla guessed that Stammen will throw a fastball strike which he did. Uggla just didn’t execute. I mean he would have gotten that ball in the air atleast and that was exactly why he swung at the 3-0 pitch to put it in the air and get a run in.
Even if Uggla walked I still don’t know if we would have been able to get a run in that inning with Ross and Simmons coming up.

I’ve not been a fan of Gearrin but he looked good in that inning. I felt sorry for the batter that got his bat shattered about 10 inches from his hands. That can leave your hands sore for a week.
Carroll, Ask Fredi
September 16th, 2012

Carroll, not being a smarty, seriously could you ask Fredi if Uggla has an automatic green light on
3-0 or if he would ever give him the take sign?

When a manager talks about MOVING THE LINE and then goes ahead and lets his prized .215 hitter swing away 3-0 that says it all.

OUT OF RETIREMENT: Go back there. Every pitcher including our starters have rockets hit at times. I guess it was just smoke and mirrors that he won the Pitcher of the Year in the minors, too. It’s amazing that some people will put him down and don’t Moylan who is basically the same pitcher.
