I like this lineup better than yesterdays

[CyYoung31]

Contreras needs to be in the lineup. If that means Ozuna in LF, so be it. He isn’t any worse than Rosario out there.

[bravesnumberone]

Rosario shouldn't be allowed in LF. Did I miss Grossman getting hurt or something?

Grossman shouldn’t be playing be RHP.

[bravesnumberone]

Grossman shouldn’t be playing be RHP.

Agreed. But Rosario should not be in LF. I feel like Grossman has at least come up with a few big left-handed hits.

I can’t imagine they’d take Contreras out just to put Ozuna in. I wonder if the plan is to have him catch tomorrow and that’s why he’s getting a day off? I’d expect he’d be available to PH

Still doens't make sense. Dude would only be DH'ing today, not catching. So him DH'ing today shouldn't impact him catching tomorrow.

It seems like we may as well just throw Ozuna out there everyday.

[bravesnumberone]

Plus, Ozuna is not going to have a chance in hell against Scherzer's slider.

[bravesfanforlife88]

I know he's not here anymore, but at least a little positive reinforcement going into tonight

[AJonesATL]

The use of Contreras is the one thing that’s been baffling to me. He’s been a legit 850+ ops type hitter all season long. In the biggest game of the season he should be in there.

I’d have just put ozuna in left field today. Like his bat in there.

If Joc and the Giants had about two more weeks left in the season, they might have snuck in the playoffs. They're on fire right now.

[bravesnumberone]

Maybe Contreras caught Fried's stomach bug.

[Hulavol]

Ozuna, Olson, Acuna, MH2 all with dingers tonight!!!
Let’s go Kyle!!

[Chico]

Ozuna does have an .824 OPS against Max over 51 plate appearances FWIW

[Garmel]

[Hudson2]

That definitely helps but it won’t matter much if we don’t win this series.

[Heyward]

We gotta win 2/3 at least here for that to even matter.

[USMA76]

I give up...what network is carrying the game? Never mind, my Fox is carrying Rays-Astros.
