[stpeteirish]

RF Heyward
LF Justin
1b Freddie
C MacCann
3b CJ
2b Pastor
CF Schafer
SS Simmons
P Medlen

Uggla to the DL!

[Tapate50]

Need to get Schafer back in his groove and this would be a great lineup. Sub Gattis in for Jordan and move Heyward over to CF and you got some pop!

[CJC]

We could field this lineup with a $67 Million Payroll. Take out Hudson as well and its $58 Million or less than everyone except the Cubs, A's, Marlins and Astros.

[nsacpi]

With a lefty going tomorrow, this was the game to put Schafer in the lineup this series.

And tomorrow, I would guess we see Gattis.

[Orphan Black]

Pastor batting 6th seems a little off though.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Uggla decided to have that eye surgery

[jdunn]

The joys of a 14 game lead. Uggla had to do something as he wasn't hurting us this much when he was a Marlin. Hopefully vision is his problem and the surgery will fix it, as you will not be able to hide his bat in a playoff game.

[weso1]

Really smart move by the Braves and Uggla. Why not give it a try. He's just not helping the team right now.

[Orphan Black]

Watch him come back and hit 15 homers the rest of the way.

I didn't know someone fell 60 feet and died at the ball park yesterday...just read that news.

Uggla decided to have that eye surgery

Or Wren decided for him. They must have watched him play last night.

[cajunrevenge]

This should have been done a long time ago.

[emk418]

Pastor batting 6th seems a little off though.

Yea kind of weird but better than Uggla batting 6th. I still want to see Justin batting 4th eventually.

[Five]

This should have been done a long time ago.

No doubt about it. For he's sake I hope it works.

[GovClintonTyree]

Or Wren decided for him. They must have watched him play last night.

Yeah, I don't think Dan decided ****.

[BravesBlock]

Uggla decided to have that eye surgery

This should have been done a long time ago.

Absolutely. He has hurt himself and the team by not getting this taken care of sooner. But I swear it does seem like some braves brass read this board because there are a lot of coincidences. Hopefully Uggla will come back ready to go. By the way, how long us he expected to miss?

[nsacpi]

But I swear it does seem like some braves brass read this board because there are a lot of coincidences.

I loved the quote from Fredi after he brought out the new lineup with Heyward batting leadoff. He simply said "I succumbed." If he keeps succumbing to our collective wisdom this team will go all the way.

[Bdawg2309]

Hopefully pastornicky can hit

[nsacpi]

Yeah. This a big opportunity for Pastornicky.

[Enscheff]

While Uggla is out, I'd like to see Fredi take the final step in optimizing the lineup and bat the pitcher 8th so Pastor can hit in front of Heyward and Justin:

Heyward
JUpton
Freeman
Mac/Gattis
CJ
Schafer/BUpton
Simmons
Pitcher
Pastor

[sgtpepper1972]

For the Braves sake as well...
