The umps have never been better at calling balls and strikes, but that inaccurate k-zone gives fans the wrong impression.

best 9th placed hitter in baseball!
Due to be called up unfortunately tomorrow.
Inciarte triples. This is working out lmao.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Lol. I snarfed

I also do not see the point of these type lineups. Inciarte and Albies seem to have similar OBP potentials. Inciarte is currently the better base stealer. I think we'll eventually go Inciarte, Albies, Freddie, Acuna, Markakis. Why not go ahead and go that way now if we are making a move so soon.
Albies seriously need to steal now.
Acuna is the better runner. He should hit 3rd and Freeman cleanup (as long as all works out with him).
EDIT2: Technically, the best hitter actually hits 2nd in analytically inclined lineups but I'd prefer to not do that if possible.

You want your best hitters coming to the plate the most. It's really that simple and will score more runs over the course of a season.

Inciarte just needs to be in the bottom half of the lineup. Where exactly doesn’t matter much.
Next year the Braves will have 4 above average or better hitters with Freeman, Albies, Acuna and whoever they sign for LF. As long as those 4 guys are in the top 4 spots, the exact order makes little difference.
Seems like Acuña might’ve bailed Velasquez out there, based on Gamecast.

Well this sucks
Oye, about to waste 2nd/3rd, no out.

"you have to make contact here..."
Because contact is guaranteed to get a runner in from 3rd....

That’s so frustrating to watch.
For reference, runners have historically scored from 3rd with less than 2 outs approximately 50% of the time, even with K and HR rates increasing dramatically over the last couple decades.
Albies is incredible
that's 70 speed!
NECK.
How about that for Ozzie hustling Joe?!
Markakis continues to be the man
