Marlins' second baseman Dan Uggla believes that the best strategy in baseball is not to think, according to The Miami Herald.

"It's better to stay stupid in this sport," Uggla said.

Uggla is red-hot this month, hitting .435 with 10 home runs and an OPS of 1.578.

"I don't try to analyze anything or try to figure anything out," he said. "You just ride the wave as long as you can."
