You would think BJ was the Upton that has been a good Brave. WOW. Fredi has really lost it.

[jpack1]

Inside Fredi's head. How does he rationalize this you think?

[Heyward]

You would BJ was the Upton that has been a good Brave. WOW. Fredi has really lost it.

Spelling mistake?

I like the lineup minus BJ 2nd, and JUp 6th.

Other than that, it's as good as we can ask for.

If they are gonna have Tommy leadoff then TLS, JUp, FF, Gattis, Heyward, BJ/CJ, Simmons, P is our best lineup.

[nsacpi]

Fredi messing with us by batting the Lesser Upton second and the Greater Upton sixth.

Expecting a huge game from the guy with tired knees.

[Dalyn]

Justin is back to confirm Fredi is a ****ing idiot!

[NinersSBChamps]

I know Justin has been cold lately. However BJ has been cold for over nearly 230 games and had isn't cemented in the two hole.

[jpack1]

Fredi probably gets way to much flack but it's things like this that make people say, wow, this guy is a ****ing idiot.

[NinersSBChamps]

Fredi probably gets way to much flack but it's things like this that make people say, wow, this guy is a ****ing idiot.

It's this very reason why he gets flack. He has trotted this bum out there in the same spot in the lineup for nearly three months. His batting average has never once resembled a major leaguer.

[zitothebrave]

Boo this lineup

That's the maximum creativity I have in me. Harvesting all my energy for tomorrow.

[thethe]

I understand the arguments about "lengthening the lineup" but this is just insanity. BJ cannot be getting the second most AB's on our team. In no universe does that make sense.

[Heyward]

Fredi probably gets way to much flack but it's things like this that make people say, wow, this guy is a ****ing idiot.

Fredi/managers get too much hate imo, they dont have THAT much of an impact on the games.

That being said, no reason BJ should be 2nd, and JUp 6th, none at all.

[CyYoung31]

Fredi....

[UNCBlue012]

There is no logical reason for BJ in the 2-hole. I don't care what Fredi has to say. It makes no sense and it's stupid. Not only has he not hit much of anywhere but his defense hasn't been that great as of late. That being said, I'm just glad justin is back. The lineup is so much stronger with him there. Also, I've seen a lot of GoT references lately... So, Hodor!

[CyYoung31]

Ditto. There is literally no slider too far outside for him.

Wait, are we talking about Laird or CJ?

[Five]

Flashing leather

[UNCBlue012]

Holy freeeeeman

[skidlee]

Ever since Fredi moved TLS to leadoff he's been pedestrian. Thanks again Fredi for screwing up.

Why am I not suprised someone would say this.

[AerchAngel]

Why am I not suprised someone would say this.

In defense of everyone saying he should have moved up, not many wanted him to leadoff, they wanted him batting second. He is not a leadoff hitter and never done it until now. Fredi has not done his homework on La Stella like I thought.

[Tapate50]

To be fair, it probably isn't a homework issue, it's probably just a differing of opinion.
