Acuna. He’s the best hitter on the roster, and nobody else posts an OBP high enough to warrant moving his power to the 2 hole. Until someone on the roster with less power like Harris or Kelenic or Murphy can post a .360+ OBP, Acuna will remain the best option.
Being in the leadoff slot still isn’t the reason he hits well though.

Yeah, I agree about the leadoff spot. With Snit I would guess he would choose leadoff hitter based on whose fast and not who gets on base if Acuna wasn't there.

I'd put him fourth where he was before we moved him into the leadoff spot to make him happy. Put Kelenic leadoff while he's riding this BABIP streak. Ozuna, Olson, Riley fifth and on down the line. Then when everyone starts slumping, put Acuña at leadoff and he'll start hitting.
Bullpen has certainly been the MVP of the team so far. 2.10 ERA before todays game. Somehow we are 21st in IP by the pen. Would think we were much higher than that.

Broom city baby.
Think about how this series feels if we lost the first two games. Still feeling hopeful about the season!
Mets up next, who took 2 of 3 against Cincy. They are 3-6 on the season. Teheran vs Morton in game 1.

Great stuff as always Mossy!

The biggest takeaway from this series is that our Bullpen is a real strength, and the D-backs is not.
Even when our starters were bad, our bullpen shut them down, while we were able to score runs on theirs.
The starters will get better, but the bullpen will give us a chance in the later innings of a lot of games.
