I choose to believe he would have hit even better over the last month, had he not been beaned in the face.

You can choose to do that but that is far from a given.

Sure: I think the fact that it wasn't a given was a given in my post.

I didn't see it! I need givens to be given.

You guys just give and give and give. And that's a given.

This is why Justin needs to hit between Heyward and Freeman. Need managers to at least think twice before bringing in those loogys to get them out

I would go with Heyward, BJ, Justin, Freeman to avoid the LOOGY issue. If we have just one RHH between Heyward and Freeman there will often be the option of walking him. With two RHH the other manager will have to burn three pitchers to get the matchup advantage.
The Red Sox were owners of an 8 game losing streak before coming into the Ted.
They were also owners of a 9 game losing streak and a 10 game losing streak before coming to Atlanta.

Nobody's walking BJ intentionally...

Your proposal was to put just Justin between Heyward and Freeman. With that lineup, I could see Justin being walked by the LOOGY and the opposing manager would not have to burn multiple relievers.

So are you advocating returning Uggla to the lineup.
Not necessarily.
Just pointing out that removing him from the lineup hasn't helped. The other options are equally terrible. His 2014 numbers are better than Pena's and we all know what Pastornicky is capable of.......not much.
Uggla is the only one of the three that has performed at a major league level at some point in his career. So, we can accept AAAA talent at 2B with Pena or Pastor, or we can put Uggla back in the lineup and likely get similar AAAA results with the slight chance that his numbers improve.

I doubt it. But even so, getting a man on base for Freeman isn't a bad thing, is it?

No. That is a plus for your idea. The plus for my idea is that the other manager has to burn multiple relievers to get the platoon matchup. You would see Heyward and Freeman face different lefties. And on most teams that second lefty is not nearly as good.

Only if you think a manager is so scared of BJ Upton that they would make a pitching change, which I wouldn't buy into.
