Does anyone think its ironic at all that injuries are catching up to our bullpen after the last 2+ years?

I missed Uggla's error earlier. Was it just a botched groundball?

Anyone else listening to the Dodgers feed?

I think Uggla was the victim of trying to cover 1st for the two bozo's trying to get the ball in front.

That was a very solid hit. It bounced all the way back to EOF. Thats not a glancing angle at all.

Can we just say Schafer was out at third and have JUpton lead the next inning off instead?

Commented on Braves vs. Nationals: Open Thread on Apr 29 2013, 9:39p

I think I had my mind made up that the umpire was going to call out there, regardless. I didn't want to watch.

Totally out at third too. Even better! Runs!!

I don't agree the next would be a double play. When you have 1st and 3rd with 1 out, it changes your whole approach in the box.

I think the Braves should have hit Schafer leadoff today, until he cools off.
