Uggla to the DL!
 
Need to get Schafer back in his groove and this would be a great lineup. Sub Gattis in for Jordan and move Heyward over to CF and you got some pop!
 
We could field this lineup with a $67 Million Payroll. Take out Hudson as well and its $58 Million or less than everyone except the Cubs, A's, Marlins and Astros.
 
With a lefty going tomorrow, this was the game to put Schafer in the lineup this series.

And tomorrow, I would guess we see Gattis.
 
The joys of a 14 game lead. Uggla had to do something as he wasn't hurting us this much when he was a Marlin. Hopefully vision is his problem and the surgery will fix it, as you will not be able to hide his bat in a playoff game.
 
Really smart move by the Braves and Uggla. Why not give it a try. He's just not helping the team right now.
 
Watch him come back and hit 15 homers the rest of the way.

I didn't know someone fell 60 feet and died at the ball park yesterday...just read that news.
 
But I swear it does seem like some braves brass read this board because there are a lot of coincidences.

I loved the quote from Fredi after he brought out the new lineup with Heyward batting leadoff. He simply said "I succumbed." If he keeps succumbing to our collective wisdom this team will go all the way.
 
While Uggla is out, I'd like to see Fredi take the final step in optimizing the lineup and bat the pitcher 8th so Pastor can hit in front of Heyward and Justin:

Heyward

JUpton

Freeman

Mac/Gattis

CJ

Schafer/BUpton

Simmons

Pitcher

Pastor
