When I said everyone, I include myself.

He has been horrid. Glad to see him come through when it actually mattered.

That was a mamoth shot he hit. Very Uggla.

if dan thrives on pressure, why does he consistently fail in pressure situations?

 

 

Just playing Dr. Freud I think it's a combination of his already devalued self-worth, pressing and generally not being his season. How many times have we seen him hitting the ball at someone or Joe Schmoe making a Play of the Day on a line drive, the kinds of things where if just half of them fell in like years past we wouldn't be having this discussion? But you also have to remember that baseball is a game where "failing" 2 out of three times gets you in the Hall of Fame. And the difference between a fly ball out and a homerun is about a 32ndth of an inch. I other words, who knows?

 

Very good points.

 

To add, you can fail, 7 out of 10 times and still make it into the Hall of Fame(7 out of 11 in some occasions).

The problem with Uggla is that his hits have been meaningless all year.

 

High leverage situations: .210/.337/.309 (.645 .OPS)

Medium leverage situations: .203/.304/.391 (.696 .OPS)

High leverage situations: .265/.371/.537 (.908 .OPS)

 

Overall, his stats (while disappointing) are still fine...especially considering the position he plays.

 

The problem is he's not getting it done when it counts. And as diehard fans, that's not what we want to see. Especially considering he's hitting 5th now.

 

 

 

Could I ask where you found those detaied stats at? I've been trying to find detailed stats like that for the longest time and hve had absolutely no luck.

Oh ok thanks. I checked that site earlier but didn't search deep enough but I got it now lol. May I ask what leverage situations mean?

Ah ok got it. Thanks man.

Apparently this is a very important topic due to it getting pinned????

What's even more disappointing is that this season follows a massive raise from last year.

yea but even this hr doesn't get him off the hook...he still has to step his game up err should i say BA

 

 

BA is the most overrated stat when judging a hitter.Lets not go to far and compare uggla to hermida.I still get what you are trying to say though

Apparently this is a very important topic due to it getting pinned????

Post All-Star 87 AB 4 HR 10 RBI 15BB 21K .287/.398/.506 (.904)

 

For those who said his stats always drop off in the 2nd half.....

if dan thrives on pressure, why does he consistently fail in pressure situations?

While bumping, I noticed this and thought I'd mention it (to be a jerk :whistle)

Failing 7 out of 11 is better than failing 7 out of 10. The former is a .364 BA while the latter is just .300.

Raising his trade value and giving us a boost on offense. Good job Uggla..

I really hope he is retained next season.I'd rather trade Cantu and Hermida.

Uggla isn't staying. I mean I thought it was pretty obvious that by calling up Coghlan and trading for Bonifacio that it signaled the end of the Dan Uggla era as a Marlin. Now that the fact that he is playing so well bumps up his trade value. Hopefully now we can get for Uggla what the Pirates got for Freddy Sanchez (which was Tim Alderson, who a B+ caliber pitching prospect).

His HR today was clutch you might say. And hit a walk off the other day, so maybe his hits are starting to count now...

Why would it be so ridiculous to have Uggla stay here and keep Coghlan in LF on the same team? It's not as though Coghlan is known to be better defensive IF. I think it's also kinda strange how much people have been down on Uggla's production when (excluding the recently acquired Nick Johnson) Uggla has led the team in BB and HRs all season, and still then he's viewed as a strikeout machine. I think someone else pointed out his second half numbers so far, but I think it bears repeating -

AVG: 286 OBP:393 SLG: 527

Not to mention big HRs to tie games and big hits to win games. I will never understand the desire some of you have with getting rid of good players. Coghlan can stay perfectly fine playing in LF, and here's hoping we make a run at this year that motivates the FO to keep both of them in the lineup.

 

Seriously, while we could deal with the loss in power production that came from replacing Cabrera with Cantu, and with shipping Jacobs off altogether, you can only go so far and maintain a strong offense year after year when you remove offensive power and don't really replace it. If Hanley is the only 30+ HR guy in the lineup next year we will not be in the race.

Amen to that.
