The Atlanta Braves Thread VII

[Scotty's Flat Top]

As long as it is against right handers, against LHP he is hitting .165 this year. He does draw enough walks to have a .308 OBP though

Nevermind. I retract that statement. For some reason I thought he was over .400 OBP

Edit: you meant OBP against LHP


I stand by my initial statement

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Nice stretch by F5

 

[GAVol]

Sweet turn and stretch

He does. He was saying .308 obp vs lefties

Yeah, should've been more clear on that. He is .470 OBP against RHP

Upton appears to have at least shortened that goofy leg kick no?

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Sorry. :hi:

He's definitely on more pitches. Still hate that wide open stance and extra movement. He looks like he's got no chance of reaching anything on the outside corner.

Yes. That I don't understand for a guy with his wheels. I'm shocked they have not forced him to go no stride. Wouldn't need to change anything else..

 

[GAVol]

Sorry. :hi:

What? I didn't see anything.

He is still lost. He takes one step up one day and 2 back the next. Maybe a break will help him get his head straight. It helped him last year.

 

[vol2013]

Still kind of amazing the braves have a five game lead in the division batting a guy with an OBP in the .280s in the leadoff position everyday

lol how so

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

So Uggla has 1 more home run on the year and the same amount of RBIs as Votto. Votto has, however, scored 62 runs to Ugglas 44.

Not sure what that means, if anything but thought it was interesting considering the .203 avg. vs. .320

Reds won thier division last year getting less than that out of the lead off spot.

 

[TBrown]

Bout to run some more point.. Picked up ringer of all ringers for tonight's contest.. Marlon

 

[vol2013]

lol how so

Somebody posted a tweet in there of his that said if Zimmerman does not go to jail it means a dogs life is worth more than a Doug's life in the US.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

To tell you how stupid these Reds announcers are, they're talking about trying to work Hudson so that we get into y'all's pen...

 

[GAVol]

Good God, Verc. Murph just pointed out that it's been 20 years since he was active. :wacko:

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Dale Murphy is one of those rare people.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Hell of an AB DRob.

 

[GAVol]

After that start, great job by Hudson to make it 7 innings.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

I wish we could shake Chip Caray. So annoying.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

I don't know what's worse Simmons lead off or Cozart in the 2 hole.
