This may be the most frustrated I've ever been with the Braves brass. How can this be allowed?! Right when we think there is no way he can leave him in the 2 hole anymore he moves him up to leadoff?! Think about this, the Braves hitter that will get the most abs will be bj freaking upton...

The Harang-Laird duo is going to lean pretty heavily against the Stros.
BJ leading off??????????????
The Atlanta Braves signed Nick Markakis for 4/45 - Never forget 12/3/2014

Honestly, I'm anxious to see Springer and Singleton play.

Fredi has got to go. Does Wren see this and not care how stupid it is? Fredi is making a bad situation worse. Repeatedly.

I think I know Fredi's thinking here. It should be obvious that Fredi believes.................

Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
In what world does it make sense to give our worst hitter the most AB's in a game? How can he be defended anymore?

It just gets him out of the way sooner.

I bet he only really leads off once. Every other time he'll probably have Laird on base to drive in, which is his forte.
Watch BJ get a hit his first at bat.

That's good hustle!
@ajcbraves: Surmising Fredi's thinking, La Stella better fit in the 2 hole, B.J. best of right-handed options to bat leadoff over Johnson, Simmons.
What. Lol
Dude is so hung up on this right/left thing that he puts the worst hitter in the lineup first! What a maroon!
This directly speaks to Fredi's intelligence. He'd rather hurt the team based on the random chance of a LH reliever giving them issues in the 7th or 8th then giving us our best hitters together putting runs up early. It's this kind of old school thought process that people like Bobby and Fredi live by. It's nonsense.
All you need is Hart and Cox.

Even if BJ goes 3/4, this is a terrible decision. He needs to be told to stop this.
BJ Upton is leading off tonight

BJ asked to be put in the leadoff spot. He said he now BOlieves in himself and that was good enough for me.
