I like the lineup, Fredi.
Braves1976 (04-15-2014), JohnAdcox (04-15-2014), NinersSBChamps (04-15-2014)
I know Simmons is exceeding in the 8th spot, but he really needs to be moved up
Braves1976 (04-15-2014)
Will be surprised if this game isn't postponed
Glad to see Justin Upton and Gattis moved up to cleanup and 5th. My only quibble and it is a very small one given I don't think lineup construction makes much difference is having Uggla ahead of Johnson.
First seven games he played, BJ had 13 strikeouts and zero walks. Last five games, 3 strikeouts and 3 walks. Plus he's hit the ball much harder.
jpx7 (04-15-2014), The Chosen One (04-15-2014), thethe (04-15-2014)
I'd probably go Heyward/JUp/FF/CJ/Gattis/Simmons/BJ/Uggla personally but at least JUp gives Freeman some protection with him at 4.
And yeah, weather looks pretty bad so we'll see.
Hope Johnson figures it out.
Postponed.

Stadium employees told something else just a while ago, but now the #Braves v Phils GAME IS RAINED OUT
At least the relievers get a day off.

Game will be made up later in one of our next two Philly trips.
Might be good if a mod edited the subject line by adding "postponed."
Damn, seems like something like this always happens (games postponed) right when we get our bats going and start going on a run where we steamroll opponents, only to cool off afterward.
