What's it going to take to the bat off J Ups shoulder?

That's called letting your team down. He's got to be feeing sick.

 

[PurpleBrave]

A few sessions with our hitting coach should bust us right out of this slump! We'll get em tomorrow

The Waterboy comment

Oh no we lose again!!

 

[Runnin]

My guess is he was guessing slider.

 

[jpack1]

The freaking Uptons are a curse. Can't believe how bad J Up can be at times. That is what 9ks in 3 games. Swing the ****ing bat loser.

 

[jsebe10]

Why isn't justin swinging? Seriously. These pitches he's looking at aren't even close for the most part

I'm honestly starting to believe he's point shaving. Lol. Maybe he's in a rut with some gamblers.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Thank goodness this is only early May. This happens four months from now.............................oh boy.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Now you have an argument Bravesmubr1

Once again, it's absolutely inexcusable. He's still one of those guys I have confidence in to come out and hit three homers tomorrow, but this team is a collective piece of crap right now.

We have a hitting coach?

That is news to me. I hope his salary is minimum wage because that is all he should be earning.

You are right. Lol. No other wAy around.

Correcting myself to say that J Upton is a curse. Guy shows so. Uh talent but just wastes it time and time again. Would have liked to have BJ up there. At least he would have hacked. Probably hit it solid somewhere as he is our best hitter somehow over last week.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

This team is too good to be hitting this poorly. I don't know what Greg Walker is doing, but it's not working.

 

[jpack1]

This has happened every postseason we have been a part of for 10 years now.

 

[MURF21]

Did Justin Upton ever play for the Chicago Blacksox?

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

Kirk Gibson and the Zona faithful we're right, JUp is not a winning baseball player, just does not do the little things that help win games.

He's über talented, and when he's in a groove he is awesome, but all too often he is one of the worst players in all of baseball.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Really? If they are as good as 90 percent of the people say they wouldn't be in this slide. I get it teams go through rough patches, but this is worse than a little skid. They looked better tonight than they lately so maybe that is a good sign?

 

[PurpleBrave]

Let's slap an April calendar in the clubhouse. Maybe put up a few Easter baskets with Cadbury eggs, play a few jokes on team mates and recycle some cans. Just pretend it's April every month and this team would win 130 games

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

The Uptons have to be 2 of the most overhyped players if this generation, so much talent, so little contribution to winning.

One should be hitting line drives all over the field like Sheffield and be a periennel MVP middle of the order hitter, while the other should be one of the best all around outfielders in the game like McCutchen.

No, just trade the Uptons for Kate

 

[Garmel]

As good of a night Pena had you can bet he's going back to the bench tomorrow.
