[sturg33]

WOW.

FREDI IS A ****ING IDIOT

[TDlxANDER]

If you don't count the pitcher....the lineup alternates left/right all the way down. That's so cool!

[jsebe10]

WOW.

FREDI IS A ****ING IDIOT

CJ #2....Doumit #6....BJ # 8...my logical choice.

[sturg33]

Just to be clear - we are now moving Heyward down in the lienup 4 spots, while maintaining BJ in the most important spot in the order

How does anyone defend this idiot?

Uh, he won 96 games last year?

[rico43]

Isn't it at least fair to say that Doumit has earned some playing time? And Fredi has always believed in going L/R down the lineup. Why does this stuff come as such a shock to some of you.

It's shocking because it's stupid. How can anyone defend BJ in the two hole and Heyward down in the order?

Cj would just ground into a DP whenever la stella gets on

[UNCBlue012]

I'd still guess justin goes there in the 2-hole once he's back. We've got to win this series. Got too.

[CyYoung31]

I'm not one who usually lives and dies with lineup construction, but if we don't see a top 4 of Heyward, Justin, Freeman, and Gattis by tomorrow, I'm going to riot.

That will likely never happen this year.

[thethe]

This is a joke.

[Dalyn]

This is a joke.

Oh. Good. I didn't think even Fredi would be this ignorant. What's the real lineup?

[TURBO]

Oh. Good. I didn't think even Fredi would be this ignorant. What's the real lineup?

No, that is the real lineup I believe.

[thethe]

Oh. Good. I didn't think even Fredi would be this ignorant. What's the real lineup?

I refuse to believe that its real.

[zitothebrave]

This is a joke.

This is Braves Country.

[USMA76]

This is a joke.

Why am I not laughing?

[Julio3000]

**** the Nats.

That is all.

Pull 'em through for me, folks.

[tomahawkchop10]

It's kinda like tommy is batting 8th and needs to clear bj.
