Someone post the actual lineups in about 5 hours lol.

This is an insanely early thread and I apologize, but I'm going to be out for a lot of the night and I couldn't change the juju from yesterday. I should be back around the time for the game, maybe earlier... but I wasn't going to take a chance. Sue me. Anyways, I'm not sure if BJ is going to be to play, but I'd guess no. I hope Heyward continues his torrid streak! It's fun to watch this guy when everything is working for him... and right now, all tools are on display (sounded awful, I know).

Speaking of Heyward, over the last week he's hit .429 (9-21) with 5 runs, a double, homer, six RBI and three walks.

While Freeman has hit .190 (4-21) with three RBI's and three walks. Something has to give.

Santana needs to step it up. He wasn't awful his last start, but he is looking nothing like that guy we had to begin the year. Hopefully we can get 7 strong out of him and let the BP finish it off.

Speaking of the BP, how about Kimbrel? The man is just a beast. I saw a combination video of all of his saves last night on MLB.com and it's insane how many times he ends the inning with a K, it's beautiful.
 
I suspect BJ will be back in center and in the #2 hole. He only missed because his plane arrived late last night but he is back with the team.
 
If Uggla simply must be on the team, Miley's probably the type of starter he should be facing: lefty without huge velocity.
 
Fun statistic.
