One key this series will likely be keeping Hamilton off the bases. That kid can fly and could steal both second and third if he gets on base.

I say we tag him when he tries to land.

Change the 8,1, & 2 hitters around and you've got gold.

Likely on the same pitch.

Heyward's finally emerging from his funk: why would you move him?

BJ Upton is wearing glasses.

Likely don't have to worry too much about keeping Hamilton off the basepaths..he does that well enough by himself.

Why are all Braves' players having eye issues?!!?

Freeman, McCann, Uggla, now BJ?!?!

I hope you're right, but he has been getting on base and hitting better off late. He had multi-hit games in two of his last three and a three hit game in the series before too. Plus with Uggla at second, if he just hits a little grounder to him he has a shot every time.

I wouldn't, I'd just stop hitting BJ behind him.

I use this, though I'm a novice compared to some of the posters on this board—however, the above image is just a straight-up screen-grab from the end of a 30 Rock episode.

Uggla never really had eye issues. He can spot a field mouse from the top of a tree in the dark.

BJ needed to do this, like 365 days ago.

Matt Diaz?

It was announced over a week ago that he'd be doing pre and post-games for us (how often I am not sure though). He of course retired this past off-season. I am looking forward to hearing him, sure beats listening to others (I won't name names but you can guess).
