April 8, 200719 yr He needs something, but I don't think a day off is warranted after only 5 bad days. At this point it may hurt his confidence more than help his hitting. (But I wouldn't mind seeing Almezaga hit in his spot for a few games)
April 8, 200719 yr might not be a bad idea, get him ready for 3 night games in a row starting tomorrow. plus he is goign to get another day off on Thursday.
April 8, 200719 yr Uggla has been Ugly so far but there's no real use in benching him for a game. Today's the Phillies are putting some random douche on the mound so there's a great chance of him having a solid game today and getting back on track.
April 8, 200719 yr No way, he's played 5 games with a day of rest in between them. It's all his mechanics and his mentality right now. He needs to make the adjustments on the field, and today will be that day with Segovia, whoever he is.
April 8, 200719 yr After 5 games sitting Uggla does nothing, He needs to play his way back to form. Patience...patience
April 8, 200719 yr Its a little early for a day off, he did hit that monster bomb in DC so his swing isn't totally crap, lets see after this next 3 game series.

April 8, 200719 yr Dan needs a day off. Let him calm down and stop swinging from his toes. Last year if my memory serves well he was struggling also at the start of the season.
April 8, 200719 yr I'm also an advocate of patience. I really think Dan is the kind of guy you just put in your lineup and let him do his thing. I firmly believe that he will come around.
April 8, 200719 yr Last year everybody struggled at the beginning. Uggla needs to stay in. He'll have a day where he'll get some excuse me singles and then he'll be ok. Balls just aren't falling for him right now.

April 8, 200719 yr Personally, I would like to see the reserves that havent gotten a start yet, get a start today. Keep them fresh and feeling a part of hte active roster if nothing else.

Today's the Phillies are putting some random douche on the mound so there's a great chance of him having a solid game today and getting back on track. Just FYI, that "random douche" had a 75/41 BB/K and a 3.1 ERA in the minors last year.
April 8, 200719 yr good thing minor league success automatically means major league success! Did I ever say they did? I was simply pointing out he didn't come out of nowhere. And if minor league stats don't mean major league success, why does management and virtually every fan think Hermida is a god?
April 8, 200719 yr You can't work your way out of a slump on the bench. And I don't even think you can call it a slump yet, it's been only five games. I really can't believe it's even being suggested.

And if minor league stats don't mean major league success, why does management and virtually every fan think Hermida is a god? well he isnt in their top 10 prospects. he has never pitched more than a half season above AA ball. so ya, i'd say he came out of nowhere. Hermida is a highly regarded prospect, Segovia, not so much.

Hermida is a highly regarded prospect, Segovia, not so much. 100+ innings is enough to evaluate talent No its not. Especially not in terms of being a major league starter. But he could do well today, the hitters I'm sure have essentially zero scouting report on him.

April 8, 200719 yr Hopefully Uggla is back on track after this game. I was beginning to suspect that Bill Robinson had somehow snuck back into the organization to teach Dan Uggla.
April 8, 200719 yr Author Nice day for Dan today. Maybe give him Wednesday off so he can get 2 in a row.
