But Laird can't play at all...

And? Do you want to run Laird/Doumit out there everyday in Sept because Gattis is done and sucking it up? Gattis will be kept fresh all year otherwise he will not be nearly as effective as he is.
 
I came up with a brilliant idea today all of my own volition. For the first time ever I am going to give YOU the fans input into how I manage the game. Some quick rules.

1- Uggla's already on the bench, so dont even start that **** about taking him out early.

2- Not using Kimbrel for 2 innings. I don't care if its game 7 of the world series and if we lose terrorists nuke the stadium. Not gonna happen.

3- Gattis took himself out of the lineup. Think he said something about not loving baseball enough to play.

4. I am not pinch hitting/running at random times.

5. Everytime you suggest something stupid like Varavro playing cf I am going to make Avilan start throwing in the pen.

I would just rather play Doumit and keep Laird for emergencies.
 
Just taking a moment to appreciate the fact that Gattis is well within the top 5 catchers (maybe 2, edged by Posey) in MLB at the moment. The Braves need him in the lineup as often as possible.
 
Always like Hudson.

Huddy said, "When I retire, I'll probably be up there in those stands pulling for the Braves just like I did when I was a kid."

Hudson: "I can't say I don't still pull for (the Braves) because I do, just not this weekend. I hope they go into a mini slump."
 
Missing Huddy a lot right now...pictures of him and Gattis posted on twitter, says he still pulls for the Braves.
 
Fredi on Gattis not in tonight's lineup: "We need to get our bench at bats sometime. Gerald's the best backup catcher in baseball, he could start everyday for any other team out there. We're fortunate to have him, he's a great player."

Fredi on Uggla getting a rest: "Again, we need to get bench players some at bats, Pena is great. I wanna save Uggla so he starts 150 games this year, it's a long season and it wears on you, mentally and physically, and we know what we got there. Going forward, he will be in the lineup"

What the hell, I didn't say that. Laird is pretending to be me to the media again.
 
Listening to the game on MLB radio. So there will be a 6 minute delay for all of my contributions to this thread.
