Elbow problem with recent Tommy John surgery? Good thing we sent Wood to get stretched out. Hopefully something minor, but I'm not holding my breath.

As bad as BJ has been, I don't think I've ever seen a hitter get more balls called strikes against them.

So we brought Simmons in for one pitch? Why not let him have the ninth?

Heyward would have caught that.

Count again. Including today, during the span of his last 28 AB's he walked 8 times. Oh, he also has 4 hits (not 3) and 3 XBH (not 2). Still not great, but the OBP isn't terrible and if you go back one more day he had a 3 for 5 day, so it's kind of cherry picking data. May 12: 0 for 2, 2...

Tuesday.

Uggla is done. Time to cut our losses.

It's just you. Including this last at bat, Heyward has had a full count 21 times this year. He has walked 7 of those times and also has 6 hits. He has now struck out five times on a full count.

Hopefully it's just dead arm or scar tissue and the appointment is precautionary. Has it been reported that he's been experiencing recent pain?

Yeah, if he has a broken jaw he's probably out for the season. Hopefully the xrays are negative.

Yeah, it sucks for Wood that he has to pitch to Laird. There's a very good chance Gattis or McCann get at least one of those pitches called a strike.

That DL trip may have been the best thing to happen to BJ this year.

That last pitch to Heyward was fouled and hit the ground. Hard for the umpire to see that though.

Heyward moved to the leadoff spot on July 27. According to baseball reference, since then he's hit: .357/.471/.607

Let's see, in 2011 he threw 163 innings. Last year he threw 137. He's probably okay to go 185 or so as I think the recommendation is increasing by 20 to 25 innings over previous maximum. He's at 136 innings including today's game. There are 53 games left in the season. If Teheran starts...

When Heyward is thrown out even with a bad throw (and he doesn't trip, or whatever) that's on the coach. Again, Heyward was still at third base when the center fielder had the ball in shallow center. It would have taken a horrible throw to not get him. It was a poor decision.

That ball was hit way to hard to send Heyward on. Outfielder had it in shallow center when Heyward was hitting third base.

Here is Andruw's catch that saved Glavine's game.
