    Lol @ this lineup. Why play Ender vs a lefty? If you’re going to play Camargo why not put him at 3rd and DH Donaldson? If Riley won’t play vs a lefty why is he on the roster?

    I guarantee that twit wants to have at least one righty power bat on the bench just in case late inning pinch hitting duties are needed. Old school baby.

    I wonder if AA ignores his daily stupidity or if he face palms like we all do?

    AA getting cross eyed shaking his head at Snits inability to put together viable line ups day in and day out, much less make good decisions on relievers. Needs to learn to make use of ALL of the talent that AA has put on the roster.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod

    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    His inability to maximize righty/lefty platoons and rest players along the way makes me fear for our playoff lives.

    A DH series is a great opportunity to give our regulars a day to rest at minimum. Snit can't even do that as he continues to run our regulars into the ground.

    He should have played Freeman on Sunday, and then DH'd Freeman, Donaldson and Acuna in this series. This would have maximized resting our best players and still had them bat. Why is this so difficult? He harps on playing guys every day and having a set lineup. Ok, they can all still play. Just give them a day of rest in the field.

    All very valid questions.

    We are now seeing why I've been saying the Braves need another RHH OFer for the last 2 months.

    Amazing that none of Freenan, Acuna, Donaldson or Albies got a single game as DH.
