Uggla is 1 for 15 against Gio. Glad Fredi decided this was a good time to give Pastornicky a game.

[zitothebrave]

We'll be haranging tough with the division with a win today.

[AUTiger7222]

Simmons has done good work against Gio.

[Heyward]

I like this lineup.

CJ has been struggling lately, Uggla could of course use a day-off and Pastor needs a start, and routine day-off for Gattis who has been hitting better lately however.

Will be tough vs Gio.

Pastornicky for Uggla makes sense given Uggla's record against Gio. CJ does look like he needs a day off but I would have put Pena in there on a day when a righty is going. Pena is not nearly as good from the right side.

Fredi: "I wanna see what we got. Run me out there and see how they do."

Fredi on putting Pena out there vs a lefty where he has struggled batting right handed.

"I wanna see if there is something there, we'll throw him in there against one if the better lefties in the game and see what he's got. We're looking for another right handed bat to go along with Laird, we don't have anyone else, we'll see if Ramiro is a fit here."

In order:

Nope. Why? Who? Duh. Nope.

[AUTiger7222]

Twice in this series BJ should have been credited with a hit but wasn't.

[Hawk]

FSS just cut to commercial for like 5 seconds. That was weird.

Apparently, in the Republic of Fredistan, being a "right handed bat" is synonymous with "being right-handed and able to hold a bat."

Fredi is a Cuban terrorist.

Man. Upton is fun to watch when he is going well.

I think I will respond to this elsewhere.

What a good boy you are.

Also, mods: I was wondering if you thought it would be worthwhile to create a thread dedicated to people's complaints about people who are complaining about people who are complaining about people complaining about players in threads dedicated to complaining about players?

Pretty soon our game threads will be as dead as Scout's.

No, just composed of 75% Wood jokes and 25% declarations of game/season over.
