The Atlanta Braves Thread (Javy Lopez Edition)

[Scotty's Flat Top]

#FreeLaStella

@Braves: Dan Uggla (eye surgery) has been placed on the DL. Tyler Pastornicky has been recalled from Gwinnett and will be at tonight's game.


Also, almost creepy timing.

That guy is a loser. Bet.

Hahahaha

True. Though in his defense tears for a recruit are better than boners for a recruit

 

[TBrown]

Eye surgery? Is that season ending?

Yes.

Doubt it. Think he is having basic Lasik.

 

[zjcvols]

La Stella should have gotten the call. Bad decision.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

@gondeee: Pastornicky is hitting .218/.368/.236 in last 17 games at AAA since being demoted. La Stella is hitting .361/.435/.475 in last 17 games.

(Don't care that he isn't on the 40 man)

Lol eye surgery. Late, but Boom. It's almost like Coach Jones has a plan....

 

[GAVol]

Does any team in MLB have more eyesight issues than the Braves? The first 30 years I followed baseball, I never heard of it happening. This is now 3 in 2 years for the Braves.

 

[GAVol]

Uggla strikes me as the type that will have eye surgery and realize he's been blind for 3 years and didn't know it.

 

[TBrown]

LASIK is a pretty bold move this late in the game ha. Frank needs to pull some waiver wire magic.

The thought of Tyler pastornicky starting a playoff game flashes brooks conrad lights.

Huddy or CMart could be placed on 60 day to open a spot for ol Stells

 

[TBrown]

Or DFA jose

Could also move Dewitt or Pena to the 60 day or DFA Dewitt

It really is. Having LASIK mid season is unheard of. I also don't think I've ever heard of anybody going from wearing no corrective lenses whatsoever to having LASIK in such a short time.

 

[GAVol]

I like Pastornicky at 2b a heck of a lot better than at SS, but I have a feeling were going to get a lot of Janish.

I like him on the bench

In Gwinnett


He is starting tonight. He being pastornicky. Janish and simmons up the middle would be incredible. Prob take fredi ~60 games to figure that out

Agreed..I'm nervous about it ha

It's almost like they held up an eye chart and the first thing Uggla said was, "turtle".

 

[GAVol]

Actually, I think I know what Dan looked like when he read the eye chart . . .

The Braves' MVP? A WAR-like case for Simmons | Mark Bradley | www.ajc.com

So Simmons and Freeman have the same WAR this season? And we're supposed to treat WAR as a very valuable measure of a player? Seems legit.

Haha. Bowman said the team has been pushing LASIK since spring training

That actually doesn't surprise me that much.

I'd expect Uggla to be back in the lineup wearing shades by Labor Day.
