I think the Upton's will probably set some kinda record between the 2 of them for most taken 3rd strikes to end rallies/games.

I want to punch Justin Upton in the face right now.

JUp leads the league in fouling fastballs straight back, BJ leads the league in terrible swings and asking the ump if the shite he swung at was a strike, Uggla leads the league in upper deck foul balls

The Braves are hard to watch right now, talk about giving one away. Errors everywhere, getting the leadoff on without scoring so many times, striking out looking.

Just going to give my daily reminder that this losing streak started when my thread winning streak was broken by poor ATL thread etiquette. I keep trying to get it back but you guys get it posted within seconds of the lineup release

Apparently Justin Upton took it really hard when the etiquette wasn't observed.

I get the feeling that this team is mentally weak. There was all the stuff about other people disrespecting them last year (fights with Gomez and Fernandez, even getting pissed at Chipper). Then this year as soon as they start giving up hits they're accusing the Marlins of stealing signs, and then it's like they just fell apart as soon as momentum got going against them.

It's all mental now!!

Obviously it's not an explanation for them just being terrible right now, but I do still get that impression just thinking back on things that have happened. Maybe it's just a side effect of being a young team, or maybe I'm just overreacting (I'm almost definitely overreacting).

lots of melters in here tonight.

We're in the midst of our worst losing streak in 3 years, what do you expect?

It's Matt Chernoff's fault.

Dan Uggla on Hitting (and Not Hitting)
Article posted 3 days ago on Fangraphs.
quote:
Dan Uggla isn’t the most popular player in Atlanta, and he has only himself to blame. The well-compensated second baseman has hit .213/.320/.399 since being acquired from the Marlins prior to the 2011 season. After going deep 36 times in his first year in a Braves uniform, he’s seen his power numbers plummet. His K rate has climbed.
Uggla isn’t necessarily cooked. The ability to drive a baseball is still there, and his OBP skills – always good for a low-average hitter – haven’t completely deserted him. At 34 years old, he’s not over the hill. It’s a matter of rediscovering his stroke, which he readily admits is easier said than done.
Uggla talked about his struggles, and what it will take to regain his old form, prior to a mid-April game at Turner Field.
