If that happened, this board would meltdown and Sav would have to do everything in his power to keep it alive before it is smoking heap of burnt out processors.

Pitchforks would be after the staff, Wren would be in protection services.

In other words, VERY UGLY.

The scout board survived the '11 collapse (we will be fine). Just not PD.
 
Fredi needs to realize that Gattis and Schafer are ice cold right now.

Though it's very small sample since returning from their injuries Schafer is hitting .182/.280/.182 and Gattis (better sample) is at .227/.267/.295

They've both been pitiful. I understand we had to play one because Justin being scratched, but there's no reason that Bossman shouldn't be starting. I know that he's not doing much better but him getting going would be clutch for our team. We know what Schafer is a guy who hits righties pretty well. We know that Gattis has power but has been having issues adjusting. To me there's no reason that both Schafer and Gattis should be in the lineup together unless 2 of Mac, Justin and Jason have the day off.

Gattis is just terrible. I think he is showing that he's a guy that needs 300 AB's a year and nothing more. At least I can defend Schafer in saying that he just hasn't got many AB's in August after being out for about a month. I liked BJ before he became a Brave but I don't know which player I hate seeing up to bat more: Dan Uggla or BJ? I really think it's BJ. I just can not bring myself to get over just how much he is raping the Braves. Your telling me we have 4 more years of this ****? The guy is making what Chipper Jones was making are you f'ing kidding me????? I hate to say this but part of me hopes he has a career ending injury so we can get some insurance money back. I'm not saying something that would be life threatening or anything like that but just something that wouldn't allow him to play any more. It's not like he isn't going to have enough money to live for the rest of his life off of.

I am so sick of seeing players with the all or nothing approach. All you need is 2-3 guys that can hit 25-30 HR's like Freeman,Heyward and Justin. Outside of that I could care less if the other position players didn't hit more than 10 as long as they got on base, hit for average and didn't strike out over 100x because all they do is swing for the fences.

lol yeah I will admit being wrong on this but Gattis does swing at every pitch he see's but I still stand by on everything else I wrote. Bj still sucks and we still have an inconsistent line up. This is why I'm plugging La Stella so much. We need more guys who are consistent not a bunch if guys who will hit 3 hr's in 4 games then do nothing for the next 45 ab's.

Gattis has really gotten hot but how long will it last? I'm surprised that they even throw him a strike because he swings at everything.

It's more than what our two highest paid "hitters" are doing right now.

Well if you've seen my posts then you know how much i dislike BJ and Uggla. The Uggla trade/signing at the time wasn't a bad move because he put up good to really good numbers especially for a 2b but BJ Upton has been one of the most over rated players. To give a guy who can't get near .800 OPS a 5/75 contract is crazy. I backed FW for a long time but WTF was he thinking? BJ is decent at CF but he's nothing special and I think Schafer is a better CF defensively than what I've seen from BJ. I just don't understand why he over paid for someone who's stats were never that impressive. He had a great year at the age of 24 but hasn't came close to that since and has been pretty bad at the plate since 2009 unless you like pedestrian OBP and BA.
 
With his outstanding 0-4 with 2 Ks schafer has since retuning from the DL a line of .170/.235/.215

Can we stop batting this turd leadoff? I know we're missing our leadoff hitter with Jason out but our 1-5 should be some combination of Justin, Johnson, Gattis, Mac, and Freddie. Then Simmons and our turd platoons in CF and 2B. Also we should have started Bethancourt today. Putting Gattis behind the plate and Schafer in the OF was moronic.
 
Agreed on Schafer, but that's far from our biggest problem. He wouldn't even be in the position of having all these 0-for-4s without BJ being totally incompetent at the plate.
