BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I could see them using one of the guys as a middle man to try to keep the bullpen fresh in the 2nd half if everyone is doing well...but, I'd say someone will get sent packing rather than them cut a roster spot somewhere else...just my opinion...I dont see them carrying another starting pitcher. A guy like Teheran could be valuable as a long reliever in September. Someone like Varvaro or Martinez will be cut before any one of the starters.

blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Found this on the ESPN website: The Braves were shut out 6-0 by the Pirates on Friday. Atlanta is the 1st team in 40 years to be shut out in its 1st 3 losses of the season. Atlanta is the 5th such team in the last 50 years to do that, and none of the other 4 won more than 76 games. The MLB record is 4, by the 1905 Cleveland Naps. Kind of hard to believe it's been 40 years since that has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Heyward is and his .121 batting average are getting the day off. I think they need to get him out of the #2 spot and use Uggla there (when he comes back from his injury). He's a high walk guy which would put somebody on base for J. Upton (most of his HR's have been solo) and Uggla has performed better in the #2 spot than anywhere else in the lineup during his career. I think Heyward is better suited to bat lower in the lineup where he can drive in runs. I think Fredi like to have speed at the top, and Heyward has it, but speed don't mean much with Atlanta's wall banging A.L style lineup.

I agree...i'd put him down in the 6-7-8 slot until he gets his head straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance 228 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 That may explain why he has been hitting so poorly. thats what i was thinking... the Uptons made history yesterday...back to back brother HR's...and the Braves win 2 in a double with the Rockies...hopefully the Pirates series was just a fluke.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Fredi must have heard me when I said bat Uggla 2nd... but then he struck out four times so forget I said it. Bat Chris Johnson 2nd instead. I makes no sense to have the MLB batting leader batting 5th or 6th with nobody on base. Bat him 2nd so the MLB HR leader can have someone on base when he comes up. I like Fredi but he sucks at making lineups. Do this... Simmons C. Johnson J. Upton Freeman Gattis B. Upton R. Johnson Uggla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
