    Gattis being the anchor is destroying the lineup. Just another in a long line of horrible decisions. What does he have, a .285 OBP?

    Our top four in OBP = Freeman, Johnson, Upton, and Heyward (in that order). The top four should be a combination of those guys. McCann, no surprise, is #5. Only BJ gets on base less than Gattis.

    This is true.

    Gattis should be 6th.

    Top 5 should be JH, JUp, FF, Mac/CJ, then Gattis 6th.

    I'm open to suggestions for who is a better alternative in the lineup than Gattis. It isn't the two pieces of crap who are getting paid the most money.

    Just bat him sixth or seventh and hope for a three-run shot. That's the only way he is helping.

    Good pitchers just carve us up with our swing at everything that might be a strike approach.

    The scouting report on us must be that you don't have to throw strikes to get us to swing.

    One more thought before signing off.

    If we were still operating under the playoff rules from before last year, the Cardinals wouldn't be able to play the Reds/Pirates in the NLDS, which would have stuck them with the Dodgers.

    So the new postseason format/rules could potentially screw us over two years in a row.

    Thanks, Bud.

    It's always fun to dream right? Kind of like one of those things where you'd wildly speculate on what you'd do if you won the mega millions. You don't play because you think you have a chance of winning, you just play for the what if fantasy.

    What bait. I have seen the light.... or well the darkness. You have convinced me that the Braves suck and have no chance. Its just a big weight off my shoulders knowing they have no chance to win.

    Keep prying, but it's a waste.

    Amen to that. I'll catch flak for saying this regarding Wren's decision-making, but it's not me who signed approximately $30 million to warm the bench.

    That's pretty much my take too. Oh well.
