Called Up to the Major Leagues
yeah, we just lost to a team that can't hit, pitch or field. Sucks, but its only one game. Some people need to calm down.
I would like to introduce you to Mr. uggla, Mr. Simmons, Mr. Bossman Jr, and Mr. Gattis

We should be embarrassed for Hank Aaron with that putrid display. It was a nut shot to his sack in how we performed.

Who has the lowest BA over that bunch compared to Heyward?

He probably wishes he hadn't broke the record so he wouldn't have had to suffer through tonight.

I would say it's time to try another leadoff hitter, but hell the only one I'd vote for would be Freeman.

As I was watching the 9th inning, I was thinking about who would be the pinch hitter...
Schafer? - No, I wouldn't go with him.
Patornicky? - I don't like the righty righty matchup
Pena? - That's our guy.
... I didn't even think of Laird as an option. Why? Two reasons:
1. He's Laird, and he can't hit
2. He's our only remaining catcher on the bench, and our idiotic manager made it clear last year he wouldn't use our only backup catcher (Gattis - an actually legit bench bat), no matter what.
So everyone knows I hate Fredi. He's the dumbest manager in the league. But the decision to bat Gerald Laird was not only wrong, but legitimately bizarre. I don't understand

Over what timeframe? A week?

It's OVER 5,000!
We didn't just totally blow Hank Aaron night, we also gave another starter a loss that deserved a win. That's three times in 7 games so far.

Approaching Buddy Hernandez Territory
Because he has more power potential than the other two. The move that really hurt was wasting Doumit in a meaningless situation in the 7th, that's where Schafer or Pena should have been used.

Laird has hit 4 HRs since 2010.

Are you kidding? Laird doesn't have any power potential. He may get one homer in an entire season but that's about it. Pena has more power than him and Schafer more likely to run into one.

Answer the fvcking question, who has the lowest batting average out of the bunch including Heyward and quit deflecting?

Exactly, Laird has no power. His best shot is a walk or bloop hit.
