I was all for Uggla leading off earlier in the year before the Heyward experiment, which ended up working out nicely, but now there is no way you can justify having Uggla in the lineup. Are you paying attention to his at bats? He has shown nothing up there at the plate. I'm only defending Johnson because he's our only other 2B option.

Yeah. Uggla has been terrible. But he's still a better hitter than Johnson and that's assuming he never improves - which is really unlikely. I think Uggla is probably a .700 OPS player worst case scenario. Johnson is a .500.

Fredi should be using the cushion to get Uglla out of his funk.
 
It's not even a conversation at this point that Medlen needs to be the No. 1 starter, for better or worse. That was unacceptable for Minor. Why even bother showing up today for that garbage?
 
You guys are ridiculous... Game over in the 2nd inning? Agsint Dan Haren? Just because GF thinks he should be a cy young candidate doesn't mean he is one

Not to be negative but when was the last time we came back from 3 down to win a game?
 
Plus, Haren already shoved it down our throat once this season. This team couldn't even score on Burch Smith, or whatever the hell his name was. So spare me. This team is punchless at the moment. Oh hey, what to you know? BJ struck out in a big situation.
 
Now Haren can throw a strike. We had our chances, walks in the first tow ininngs, but with Gattis and BJ in the RBI spots, nada. He's probably done walking guys and, as usual, we can't hit.
