a lot of bad pitching so far. I think we've had a lead and given it up every game so far. Early, early spring, I know.
When do we start to get a little optimistic about Uggla? Another RBI hit & walk today. I think his vision is MUCH better...

To have discussions like this. The telling thing for me will be his k%. With the Marlins he was at 22% most of the time and he was at 23% his first year in Atlanta. That spiked to 26% then 31% the next two years. If a month into the season he is in the 22-23% range then I will be very optimistic for the rest of the season. The same for his infield fly %. It's been 11%, 16%, 13% his 3 years here and he was never in double digits with Florida. So if he can lower the strikeouts and hit less popups he's going to have a good year. I'll believe it when I see it though.
La Stella, Pena and Uggla a combined 5 for 7 so far today. Not too shabby for our weakest position.
Buchter, Varvaro and Lamm not helping themselves today.
I'm happy for Uggla that he is having a good ST so far but man....Its time for some LaStella as long as he can adquately defend.

I'm surprised there isn't more outrage over Uggla seemingly getting the auto nod for starting secondbaseman like there is with Garcia getting the fifth starter spot.

uggla is hitting because pitchers are throwing mostly straight pitches at this point. he will look lost again soon.
Ok! 15-16 after 6 is horrible!
Only good, that we will not see our "relief pitchers" when the season starts.
