A shakeup with this team is coming if they drop from first place. What a dissapointment some of our players have been. To have this much talent and not produce is extremely frustrating. Frank Wren has to force some changes. I understand Freddy wanting to keep consistent lineups but it is time to...

"we hang onto first place another day." Team stays intact. They actually came back to win. Crossing fingers this will finally get them going. They have to snap out of this funk eventually. Maybe today begins that ten or twelve win streak we have been waiting for.

Not drastic but something has. You just can't let things continue like this.

If the Braves lose this game then they fall out of first place. A move of some type has to be made. If something isn't done before the next game I will be extremely disappointed in this organization. Hopefully they pull this out so they maintain that half game lead but if not then a move should...

If they fall out if first place then somebody has to be fired. Manager, hitting coach, demotion of a player, release of a player. Something has to be done. A message needs to be sent that this poor execution will not be permitted.

I am fine with shaking up the lineup but no way do I move Freeman from the number three slot. He is our best hitter and should remain where he is.

Wait until he is on a hot streak and then maximize the trade to get us a true lead off hitter - which is what this team needs.

So Fredi indicated you may see a different lineup tomorrow. Here is my suggestion. What is yours? A. Simmons C. Johnson F. Freeman J. Upton E. Gattis J. Heyward B.J. Upton T. Pastornicky (LaStella when ready) Pitcher

Simmons should be the priority then Freeman. Personally hoping that Jason is traded. One of the most important and difficult positions to field is shortstop. Hope we can convince Simmons to sign an extension soon.

If that is the price then it would have to be Heyward but I would ask for a window of time to discuss extension. If we can't extend Price then look elsewhere for an ace.

I think that is exactly what will happen tomorrow.

Surely Freddy will now sit BJ and let Schaeffer lead off and play center field. We may be stuck with Uggla because they obviously don't think anyone is ready to take over that position. They also need to give Freddy a day off and let Terd play first.

Well to look at the positive side of this. Maybe they will be rested and extremely dominant during the playoffs. Of course they need to be back on the field by the 20th of this month so they get get tuned up and locked in.

Agree and I could see him going two or three innings of relief out of the bullpen. But once he makes it through the batting order one time I just lose faith in him. Maybe we can pair him and Beachy up to give us six or seven strong innings. That could be a winning formula for a win.

He absolutely has but i am keeping my fingers crossed that Beachy can come back because I would prefer Paul in the bullpen for any playoff game. I just don't trust him.

I am pretty sure Grissom still lives in Arlanta so I would bet he has watched several games this year and probably has a good feel for this year's team.

And Freddy just said other than Mac getting a day off tomorrow the lineup will basically be the same tomorrow. Hopefully he changes his mind tonight.

Even marquis Grissom believes that Shaefer should be leading off. He said BJ doesn't look comfortable or confident at the plate. A couple of days observing will do him good. Hell I say let him observe the rest of the season. Maybe 2014 will be kinder to BJ.

Marquis just said Freddy needs to "change the lineup a bit". I was hoping he would clarify by advocating for some bench players to get a chance to start or did he mean to juggle up the current lineup construction. I personally think he meant to let some bench players have a chance. Replace BJ...

Oh well. They stole it back.
