Atlanta Braves Thread VI

[VOLinthaNATI]

Uggla, BUpton, JUpton, Heyward, Gattis, Freeman, Simmons, 3rd baseman, Pitcher.

Flip Uggla and Heyward if you wish.

Freeman past fourth is a no go

Uggla, BUpton, JUpton, Heyward, Gattis, Freeman, Simmons, 3rd baseman, Pitcher.

Uggla at leadoff is very interesting. He has a career .343 OBP, but I worry about his K rate.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

lol nah

Yes, I think if you flipped Heyward and Uggla it would work.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Freeman past fourth is a no go

It's not an indictment of Freeman it just that 1-6 you guys have one of the best lineups around.

 

[TBrown]

Yes, I think if you flipped Heyward and Uggla it would work.

It's going to work in any order because we can hit.

 

[005]

I said before the season Uggla, Heyward, JUP, Freeman, BJ, 3B, Gattis, Simmons, P

Also appeases the "omg justin has to hit third" crowd.

See above your post.

All things considered. May be the best option.

Ditto

If his K rate is going to stay at 15%, I like it too.

See above your post.

Agree

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

What a nasty day for a game. Bats flying in the stands. Imagine getting jammed. I'd be pitching inside, inside, inside.

10 HRS 9 solo for jMFu. Not good.

I know what you're saying but just because it's cold doesn't mean everyone just loses their batspeed.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

23 degrees with 73% humidity is cold as a b#tch.

Not sure if you're being a dick or not.

?

Major Leaguers can still turn on fastballs no matter how cold it is.

 

[TBrown]

?

Being cold makes getting jammed more painful, not more likely. Still gotta have the stuff to get inside

[Vercingetorix]

I'm not sold that the strategic benefit of being L/R/L/R in the late innings is worth not having having Heyward and Freeman both batting back to back directly in front of Justin. If you want ducks on the pond when he comes up, those are your two guys.
