Camargo in, Swanson out.
We are seeing just how stone aged Braves management is as they buy into Camargo's unsustainable BABIP.

Expecting a yuge game from Flowers.

I could tell Snit was falling in love with Camargo. Every manager seems to have a favorite.

Snit Gots To Go
Jesus, man. Swanson, barring an injury, needs to be playing. This is really dumb.
But, glad baseball is back!
My guess is that they are trying to squeeze as much playing time for Phillips and Adams as possible before July 31 just to show contenders that they can contribute for their team yet also play Camargo with his impossible to keep up BABIP. This should not be at the expense of Swanson. He's had four days to rest and clear his head, so get him out there as soon as possible. Camargo is a nice bench piece, so don't make him out to be more than what he is.

I suppose this means they didn't fire the guy who thought giving Chris Johnson a $30M extension was a good idea.

I'm guessing Camargo plays third and Adams sits against lefties. We are scheduled to face 3 lefties in our next six games. But I do think Camargo playing tonight provides an interesting view into Snit's heart/brain/soul. I would guess he is more annoyed at Swanson's defensive inconsistency than his problems at the plate.

I'm glad for Camargo and I'm generally bearish on Swanson's upside, but I think Dansby needs to be in the lineup. It's not time to play Fredi/Constanza hot-hand games. If Swanson is the future, he needs to be getting the reps.

Anyone remember the Constanza/Heyward saga? Camargo/Swanson is the modern version.

The thing I find kind of scary about playing Camargo over Dansby at this point is that they're going with the hot hand that they know is almost certainly a smaller part of the future than Dansby. Unless they're trying to get Camargo some exposure so they can trade him (doubtful), this means they're sacrificing player development to win now. Not something I want to see.
And I don't blame Snit for doing this. A win now approach is an organizational decision.
Snit is managing for his job in 2018. It absolutely behooves him to play for 2017, despite the organization playing for 2018 and beyond.
Just another inconsistency in the rebuild.
