Let's hope the saying's true: a rising Terd lifts all bats.
 
Even I'm sort of mocking myself for suggesting this, but I think Uggla should get a couple of games in the cleanup spot this week. Show him some faith in his laser eyes. He'd probably swing for the fences even more, but it feels like the thing to do.

I could see that working. If he ever starts to hit (just a little) and keeps walking, he would be valuable near the top.

Gattis has become one dimensional each bat is a swing for the fences...pitchers have got
his number now...sad to say he needs to adapt or he won't have much of a career left..

So how important is resigning Mac now that we've seen what Gattis can do (or not do in his case). I still can't decide, I want to keep him but hope we don't have to sign him for too many years.
 
Today is a pretty exciting day for me. I have a family trip to Asheville coming up and we decided to fly in and out of Atlanta so I can see the Braves at home for the first time ever, on my 40th birthday. The Braves should have everything wrapped up by then but I don't care. I'm goin' to the TED!

Need to resign him but its risky. I'd feel more comfortable in getting most of the value out of his contract then some of our more recent ones

Here's what you missed. Dan supposedly had eye surgery to prove his vision, but as assumed, he's still blowing ass....BJ, who has a history of being a good established and trustworthy Ball player (for parkva) has blown even bigger balls....and the offense has just been pretty dormant at best. Pitching has been really good though.
