Fredi doubling down; GDT 6/27/'14: Braves @ Phils, Teheranasaurus!

[sturg33]

Why stop at our worst hitter at the top of the lineup. Tonight, let's make it our TWO worst hitter at the top of the lineup.

Well done Fredi - well done.

If Fredi were really serious about optimizing the lineup it would be 1. Uggla 2. BJ

 

[Dalyn]

Is Uggla seriously batting second?

 

[sturg33]

Is Uggla seriously batting second?

No. Simmons.

 

[CyYoung31]

Make this the GDT.

 

[sturg33]

BJ
Simmons
Freeman
Gattis
Heyward
JUpton
Johnson
Uggla

 

[nsacpi]

Is this the first time Uggla has hit in the 8 spot with the Braves? I feel this is disrespectful to Dan after all the distinguished service he has given to the club.

BJ

Simmons

Freeman

Gattis

Heyward

JUpton

Johnson

Uggla

Lol even if BJ gets on, he will certainly be doubled off by Simmons. Dudes a double play/swing for the majestic king.

But at the end of the day this lineup doesn't surprise me... It's a reflection of it's manager.

 

[Julio3000]

I think I just got cancer in my credulity.

 

[sturg33]

Only Fredi thinks it's logical to move your everyday #8 hitter to #2.

Poor Justin Upton

 

[The Tariff King]

Lol. This is about as bad as Bobby putting Lockhart and Darren Bragg 1 and 2.

 

[nsacpi]

Only Fredi thinks it's logical to move your everyday #8 hitter to #2.

Poor Justin Upton

Yeah. He should keep Simmons at #8 and bat Uggla #1.

 

[sturg33]

If you believe that Simmons is the 8th best hitter in the lineup with TLS is in, how does he suddenly become a top 3 hitter when TLS is out?

You could be logical, and put JUP at 2 where he belongs. But nah, let's bury him at 6.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

 

[Garmel]

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

You should laugh. It eases the pain.

 

[nsacpi]

The thing that upsets me is Uggla batting 8. That's not right. No need to humiliate the guy.

 

[Hulavol]

Lol. This is about as bad as Bobby putting Lockhart and Darren Bragg 1 and 2.

No. Even this isn't that damn bad.

 

[jsebe10]

The thing that upsets me is Uggla batting 8. That's not right. No need to humiliate the guy.

If you were to ask Uggla about that I'm sure he'd give his .3rd nut to hit 9th. He's just happy to play. I'm sure he will get something to hit given his current #s and Kendrick getting greedy to not want to clear the pitchers spot.

 

[Fredi Gonzalez]

Haters gonna hate.
