    The less said right now about the Bravos the better.

    The Braves have been good lately if you exclude pitching, hitting and fielding.

    Maybe some well deserved home games can right the ship.

    "Dan Uggla hit Monday evening's most unlikely home run, driving in three runs in the first inning of the Braves' 5-1 win over the Twins. Uggla, who homered off a slider from Kevin Correia, had only four hits in 68 previous at-bats that ended on an off-speed pitch this season. He had only nine hits in his last 69 ABs in the first inning, dating back to August 2011."

    He could hit 300 the rest of the season and still suck at the plate.

    Hanson hasn't pitched since May 4th. Apparently he's grieving the death of his step-brother. Does anyone else find this a bit strange?

    The largest contract in Braves history and they want to send him down to the minors to tune up his hitting! WTH!
    BJ Upton has the potential to be a bigger bust than Uggla.

    A game winning blooper might help Upton get on track.


    right...

    Beachy pitching in Gwinnett.
