Atlanta Braves II

[005]

Uggla has got to work on his turn. Pathetic

Worst in baseball. Plenty of high school varsity players do a better job.

And it isn't even close

No way

 

[TBrown]

For the record, I disagree with that Kemp call. Flame away.

The absolute worst is a stretch

 

[005]

Which one?

How? He stepped inside the line making an obvious move to second.

No. Not at all. Name one consistently worse. Freeman saves Daniel. You have any idea how many throwing errors Freddie takes him off the hook from?

Which one?

Calling him out on the "break to second" .. Not enough of a move to signal advancement in my opinion. He's 20+ feet from first base. He has no chance to return. Needs more leeway than .5-1 step.

No reason to flame; you're just wrong. He made a move toward second. He's out.

You're allowed to step in fair territory. He made a jab step..idk doesn't move the needle for me.

Freeman saved him on an UGLY turn and ugly throw last night, in fact.

He takes forever on the turn and still manages to be iffy on the throws. It is very ugly. The biceps get in the way, or something.

Fair enough. I'll stick to my homerism lol

Was watching. Biceps are always in the way.

It's sort of impossible to root much for Uggla as long as the Braves' best 2B is standing out in LF watching Uggla butcher 2B because Uggla's ego is too big to move to the outfield. He's bad.

Haha I'm certainly not upset about it. Just saying I'd be livid if that went against us. Would have shrugged it off if they didn't call Kemp out.

 

[TBrown]

How exactly do you pop it to deep short Chip?

 

[005]

Uggla in the OF wouldn't be all that fun to watch, either.

It doesn't matter whether you think it's "enough." It's not a judgment call. The rule is clear: you make any gesture toward second while the ball is still live, you're a baserunner. He's out.

Agree

Medlen is a pro

 

[TBrown]

Agree

Agree to disagree haha. Who's ready for Gearrin??

Another save for freeman. Uggla better be buying him a few lunches.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Freeman is Ugglas best friend

More like a few bottles of booze. Those two live it up after games.
