[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.

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

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.

[sgtpepper1972]

For the Braves sake as well...

[CrimsonCowboy]

I hope you saw that feature with Uggla and that little girl who had been fighting cancer. Good stuff.

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

[Russ2dollas]

The lead allows the Braves to push Uggla to the optometrist....yea lead

[BlackwaterPark]

Tommy Hanson was sent to AAA

Although the attacks can get personal I don't think anybody on here has a personal problem with Uggla. It just seems many are frustrated with his deteriorating baseball skills. Hopefully he comes back and is worth every penny he is being paid for the remainder of his contract.
