It’s mind boggling to me that Dano is leading the league in BB’s. Challenge him once in awhile and just throw curveballs 90 percent of the time. Love the guy but don’t understand his approach to hitting. Hope he’s back though.

Reality is that our best hitting lineup this season was when Uggla and Mac batted either cleanup or 5th, Freddy at 3 slot and Chipper batting 6th.

Uggla’s hit .256 out of the 5-hole. Hitting under .200 when he hits 6th or 7th, and .217 when he hits cleanup. (minimum of 90 ABs from any 1 position)

I say hit him 5th and leave him there!

Completely agree. It’s so glaring that Wren needs to finally find a LF bat.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

They aren’t going into 2013 with a 75 million dollar payroll.

And I wouldn’t put that past them at all.

Screams for, at the very least, a player like Cody Ross.

Say we get Willingham and a scrub in CF, who does hit 2?

Is Prado leading off? If so then it has to be Heyward. Not so sure I want Simmons there, though that wouldn’t be so bad either.

Next season:

Gentry CF
Prado 3rd
Heyward RF
Upton LF
McCann C
Uggla 2nd
Freeman 1st
Simmons SS

Not a lot of holes in that lineup to relax. I’d be okay with having both Upton boys as well.

I don’t know. He [ACE] was pounded into oblivion by DOB last night. It was ugly.

I don’t blame DOB one iota for his warning to ACE. The guy’s fixation and taunting of DOB borders on the… weird. Correction: It is weird. – Jeff R

Exactly. I can take heavy criticism and mocking. Over-the-top criticism and mocking, even. But that had just become ridiculous, and there was no sign of any let-up. To the contrary, the obsession was becoming, as you said, weird. Repetitive to a mind-numbing degree. And I didn’t want to find out how much further it could go. Don’t want it, don’t need it, don’t have to let it override so much else on my blog.

Thus, the warning. Didn’t ban him yet, but it’s an easy click away if it resumes.

I would root for the Brewers to get in the one game playoff as I think it is now down between the Cardinals and the Brewers. Brewers are an easier opponent. Cardinals have Wainwright Loshe and now Carpenter. If they get into the playoffs they can go deep with that offense.

Brewers are basically a 2 men team in Gallardo and Braun. If we can avoid Gallardo we can beat them easily.

What if Freeman hits like Uggla and Mac next year? You know, .215 or so for months?

With this crew, who knows who will hit what….or where in the order.

Frankie

September 21st, 2012
10:38 am

Freeman has been pretty consistent so far this first two years so .215 is pretty far reach. Dan is unpredictable, always has been, always will. No one saw McCann dropping like he has since August of last season. Injuries huge part. Freeman healthy, don’t expect too much of a dropoff and hopefully elevates his game to further heights.

DAP – Maybe.

But the playoffs are a different animal. Those guys basically owned us this year, and I suspect they will again, if we even get the chance to play em.

I’d love to take em out, but I don’t think the sweep will be any factor at all if we play em.

For example, we get owned by lousy pitching all the time, or so it seems. Aren’t we supposed to be confident facing some bum with a 7.50 ERA? Often seems like we’re anything but.

I do think many here miss the silver lining in Uggla’s year, and that’s his walk rate. Assuming he isn’t cooked (and given his first two months and this month’s performance, he probably isn’t) and he returns to the same hitting level of his career, his OBP (and BA, for that matter) is gonna go way up. He’s always made a few too many outs to be a really legit guy at 4, but his increased walk rate would change that immediately.

I know it might be hard for some to envision that, given the monster slump he endured this year, so you just have to trust me on it. :-)

Heck if he can’t hit for average or slug anymore, at least he can get on base and not ground into any double plays. Perfect 2 hitter. And if a leadoff guy actually tries to steal 2nd, you know Uggla isn’t going to screw that up and make contact. Perfect two hitter!

Let’s keep grinding toward the playoffs ourselves. After the PHILLIES, it should be all downhill. Six at home against the METS and FISH then three against an out of the race PIRATES at Three-Rivers. One of DOB’s fav ball-parks.

Five out of 12 should get us in. 8-4 gets us to 93 W’s, a pretty good year in my book.

Uggla has been a decent #2 hitter, has the 2ndmost ABs for his career hitting 2nd. .265/.334/.494/.828 line over 316 games.

Could always put him at 2, let JHey or Freddie hit cleanup next year, but I’d prefer Dan to. He’s got to turn it around. He didn’t just fall off a cliff when he came to the Braves.

But Heyward at #2 seems to waste his power and average abilities. Ideally you want your #2 guy to get on base and score runs. Uggla is pretty much only good for those two things. Heyward can do more that just get on base, therefore he is more ideal for the 3 spot, maybe even 4 spot.

Prevailing number-crunching theory is that a team’s best hitter should hit #2. Balances the need for on-base ability (people hitting behind him), slugging ability (hitter hitting ahead of him), and # of plate appearances he will get from hitting high in the order.

Ok, but ideally if you have two guys with the same on base % Uggla/Heyward, don’t you want the guy with the better average and slugging to hit 3rd rather than 2nd? It seems to me the guy who is hitting 3rd is more responsible for driving in runs.

phil @11:13 – OK, man that’s over the top (as was the ahole comment by Bobby). That’s enough. You’re better than that.
Time for both of you to STFU, before DOB has to step in.

Amen, Fish Bisch….

That’s a joke for those who don’t comprehend. I won’t supply names.

“See here, MFin04…according to the data, the #3 hitter sees fewer runners on base than #4 or #5.”

I guess that is my whole point. A #3 hitter sees more runners on than a #2 hitter. I’m fine with Heyward hitting 4th, but it seems that with his speed/average/on base/slugging combo, the three spot is ideally his.

Baseball Musin’s lineup analysis tool, using this season’s stats, spits out this optimal lineup:

Jones
Freeman
Bourn
Heyward
Prado
McCann
Simmons
Pitcher
Uggla

The next best lineup switches Bourn and Uggla. The top 20 or 30 lineups ALL include Heyward hitting 4th, and almost all of them have Chipper leading off.

DOB – do you need a restraining order?

Speed should ALWAYS be a major factor in the order in which guys hit. On base is only as good as the guy on base and his ability to score. Bourn/Prado/Heyward/Uggla much better chance of scoring than Freeman or McCann. If all else is equal speed/run scoring ability has to be a major factor.

raleighbravefan – what’s with you today?

As for the spat, I prefer it ends too. I don’t know what the deal was, but I wasn’t just gonna sit here.

I tend to agree, MFin04, and that tool does not account any for speed.

Prado, Heyward, Willingham, Freeman, Uggla, McCann, Simmons, Scrub CF

Can’t have Simmons hitting 2. That would be a Fredo move though.
