Uggla calls out Hanley

Dan Uggla called out Hanley for removing himself from the game with a tight hamstring. He accused Hanley of wanting to sit on his battling lead. Hanley obviously denied it. This ended up being a big screaming match in clubhouse. Should be an intertesting end to the season.

No doubt in my mind Uggla will be sent packing in the offseason. Right or wrong, tough to call out your best player, especially when that player is hitting more than .100 higher than you.

i think it shows guts and a passion for winning, all teams need a player to ignite a spark to overcome the lethargy that can arise from a 162 game season, and it takes a certain personality to call out the best player on the team

Uggla is a Memphibian though, we memphibians have an insatiable desire to be the best

Hanley is a primadonna. Uggla is hard nosed old school player. That said I'll still take Hanley any day of week
