[MadduxFanII]

"Koehler?" Are the Marlins just picking people out of the stands at this point?

[Gary82]

Glad to see Uggla is not in the lineup.

[bravesnumberone]

"Koehler?" Are the Marlins just picking people out of the stands at this point?

Three-hit shutout coming.

[bravesnumberone]

Also, nice to see Julio is still on the roster.

[stpeteirish]

"Koehler?" Are the Marlins just picking people out of the stands at this point?

He's been in their rotation for months. And he'll stay there because their younger guys are hitting innings limits.

[Dunit24]

At this point, I think its obvious we aren't going to have Uggla and BJ Upton in our playoff starting lineup. Two of our highest paid players are two of our worst, yet, we are still one of the best teams in baseball...Amazing.

That's a good thing. There's an article from Mark Bowman on his blog addressing the Upton benching, basically saying he had his chance but there's too much of a need for Gattis and Shaefer

[The Chosen One]

IDC what anybody says, I'd start Uggla over Elliot in the playoffs 7 days out of the week...

I think Fredi wants to try and clinch first, and clinch homefield, then the last week let Uggla and BJ get all the at-bats to try and prove something...

[jpx7]

Three-hit shutout coming.

My first thought as well.

[The Chosen One]

Gattis is going to hit it into the seats... where there's no fans to retrieve the ball. And I'm not even speaking about a homerun.

[nsacpi]

Fredi (like most managers and coaches in most sports) doesn't like to change his lineup after a win. Still, I'm surprised to see Uggla held out for the second consecutive game. With BJ we've already seen some of this with Schafer during some stretches splitting playing time with him in center. It will be interesting if Fredi does something similar with Uggla and Elliot Johnson.

[Julio3000]

Elliot Johnson makes Keith Lockhart look like Chase Utley.

[nsacpi]

You underrate Johnson's talismanic powers. He is a white talisman. Lemke was our last white talisman. They are very rare and very powerful. Sort of on the order of Mew.

[jpx7]

Just like how our very own KeithLockhart is stacking Chase-Utley-size ends thanks to this website.

Well at least six out of seven. I'm surprised Fredi's not playing his slumping overpaid duo tonight since it appears to be the best chance to get bad pitching. Especially Uggla.

Uggla from the first half was acceptable. Elliot Johnson is actually an improvement over the Uggla we've seen the last couple months.

Uggla OPS during the first half: .738
Uggla OPS so far in the second half: .533

[Julio3000]

He needs to start spreading that wealth around, Obama-style.

Yes, I see. And I think that it's more likely that Uggla can put together six weeks that are more like 1st-half Uggla than that Elliot Johnson will impersonate a replacement-level MLB 2nd baseman for the same period of time. I respect your opinion. You could be right. I'm just not rushing to hang my hat on the "anyone-but-Uggla" peg.

I think Fredi just has to keep an open mind. Play EJ two or three games a week. Just see who is playing better down the stretch.

[tvsportscaster]

Just announced, Reed Johnson has been activated from the disabled list. That's good news, they can add him to the mix.

[The Chosen One]

INteresting.

I wonder if Reed can play 2B... then we can have a Johnson & Johnson platoon to cleanup the mess at 2B.

[The Chosen One]

The problem with Fredi is that he does have an open mind. It's just the decisions he's made are not popular here.

[stpeteirish]

Walden had a good bullpen session today, but that rules him out for tonight, and I think Downs is still unavalable.\

Pitch count, Julio, pitch count.

Bobby Cox always did it this way. If a player said he was ready or even when the player AND the trainer said he was ready -- he
gave it one more day

I like that Freddie does the same

[stpeteirish]

Justin out, BJ in, or is MLB.com wrong?

[nsacpi]

Swings too hard

Still failing.

Driving to Atlanta right now. Can someone keep score posted and what happens? I kind of get it when someone says swings too hard its sarcasm for Gattis doing something good.

[thethe]

Teheran will be really damn good but he wore down this year. HOpefully he will be strong at this point next year.

[weso1]

All tied up 2-2.

[Gary82]

Teheran will be really damn good but he wore down this year. HOpefully he will be strong at this point next year.

It could be a bit of rust, though. He hasn't pitched in a while.

[Gary82]

3-2 Marlins

[weso1]

3-2 Marlins now Simmons with the bad throw on the double play... inning should be over.

[tvsportscaster]

This team needs to get its crap together. That was a crap half inning there. And again another pitcher who pisses a lead right back away.

Just walked in to hear that. What happened?

Still 4 ta 3 Keithy after 3 and a half. J Up hurt hisownself and is out, or else he just wanted Big Jerk to play.

Yikes. They called that an error.

A torrid 5-21 in his last 10. ;-)

Are you mocking me?

[Garmel]

A torrid 5-21 in his last 10. ;-)

Compared to what we've experienced from the 2nd base position this year that seems like a hot streak.

[Garmel]

Damn it, Oso Blanco!

Damn, Gattis has got to make that play.

Hopefully he will be given a lot of reps in the offseason at LF.

[Dalyn]

Ugh.

At least when Jose Constanza was the ostensible hot hand, he was actually, you know, hot.

Not sure who besides Carpenter and CK we've got to finish this thing; add on run would've been nice.

[Dalyn]

Did I steal it pfrom ya???

No. Just thought I would mention that I liked it.

[Dalyn]

Avilan will not make it next year (probably won't even make it through the playoffs), and it is all on Fredi.

[CyYoung31]

That dude was all over the plate.

[Dalyn]

Ayala? Yikes.

[stpeteirish]

not feelin good here.

[nsacpi]

69 games already, #10 in the majors

[The Chosen One]

Avilan will not make it next year (probably won't even make it through the playoffs), and it is all on Fredi.

I think Fredi is still punishing him for that stunt he pulled in April when he made everyone think he tore his hammy and was out for the year.

[zitothebrave]

Saw in the headlines Justin left the game after fouling off his knee. Give him some rest, he needs it.

Not watching the game tonight so hope we hold on to win. This is my post before I peace out and watch the US game again.

[Dalyn]

Wow. Insanely good job there.

[nsacpi]

Luis Ayala!

[stpeteirish]

yea Luis.

[CyYoung31]

Ayala says, "Have a seat."

[Dalyn]

69 games already, #10 in the majors

And 2/3 appearances he is now shaking his arm after every pitch.

[pfiggy]

Same score after a harrowing 7th Savster........

[pfiggy]

No. Just thought I would mention that I liked it.

Whew.... well okay then, thanks, I guess I should change it to 41 now.

[nsacpi]

Elliot Johnson! On fire!

[Garmel]

Nice hit, EJ.

Honestly what in the world did Wren and the Braves scouts see in BJ to offer him such a huge contract? IMO he is currently 5th on the OF depth chart with Heyward out. Not even sure if he warrants a playoff roster spot. I know Wren and Fredi will have him on the roster, but he truly does not deserve one.

[zitothebrave]

I'm back bitches. All I have to say is Hooray Fredi's bullpen management.

I'm guessing they saw a guy with a good career. But I think 5th on the depth chart is too harsh. He's better than Schafer, with a healthy Jason I'd have him on the bench in the playoffs if he doesn't start hitting.

His history. His brother (huge marketing value).

[Grayson Dawg]

Good career? Not sure about that. Curious what makes you think he is better than Schafer? Look at the numbers.

I'm looking at the numbers, BJ with a career 103 wRC+ Schafer has a career 75

Schafer being hot in April and May doesn't effect now, going into tonight, Schafer has a .476 OPS since coming back from the DL in that same basic time frame Bossman has a .609 OPS. Neither are good, but Bossman has been better.

[Grayson Dawg]

Schafer actually makes contact while BJ has too many empty at bats
Career wise BJ has 1160 K's in 3937 at bats ..ouch!!!

So? It's not like Jordan Schafer is Ichiro. He's struck out in his career 26.6% of the time, for Bossman's career he's struck out 25.9% of the time

You say that like he has been this bad before. What they saw was a plus defender at a premium position with 30-30 potential who is entering his prime years. I was an advocate for signing him too. No one expected this. He has always had bad slumps but he had months like Justin had in April and August to make up for it. He just hasnt had that hot streak to balance out his stat line this year. He had a decent June but crap beyond that. Hopefully he evens that out with a full season hot streak next year.

This.

[Braves1976]

I missed much of the game tonight. But I saw in the boxscore Avilan's name without getting any outs. He wasn't hurt was he?

OK, I just read on twitter that Avilan was removed for Ayala after he hit a batter. I'd never bring in Ayala with the bases loaded in a 4-3 game, but I am glad it worked this time. I just hope it's not a playoff preview...

[stpeteirish]

I've reviewed the Schafer vs BJ argument and decided the answer is "other".

Seriously, the "better" of the two has a .609 OPS? Good God y'all.

[Grayson Dawg]

You're right BJ is probably the league's MVP this year:) I know Schafer's career numbers are not great, but for the 2013 season he has done a better job than BJ. I throw out BJ's career numbers as part of the question why did the Braves pay him such a huge contract. Honestly can anyone defend BJ's play this season? One of the worst seasons by any major leaguer this season if not the worst. He is in a hole not me.

Bossman has sucked this year, no one is defending that. Schafer has sucked since the end of May. So because Schafer was hot 4 months ago eh should play over BJ? I don't think either should play come post season.

[bravesnumberone]

And I also prefer "other" on BJ-Schafer. Sorry, it's not going to happen for BJ. Time and time and time again, he's failed.

Gattis/Heyward/Justin is the way to go in October. Hopefully anyway.

This pretty much sums it up. The Heyward injury has given Fredi the chance to play both BJ and Schafer, and neither has shown anything. Gattis may have his flaws at the plate and is a butcher in LF, but at least he is dangerous at the plate.
