Wow. Makes me not even want to watch this game.

[zitothebrave]

Wow. If they throw a pitch to Freddie they're stupid.

[skidlee]

not sure why anyone is surprised by this lineup

not sure why anyone is surprised by this lineup

Agreed.

[Diesel]

They do have an off day on Monday. If I had paid good money to travel to Atl to see this game I would be pissed.

[Runnin]

This is just the kind of lineup we usually do well with. Watch us get double-digit hits.

They do have an off day on Monday. If I had paid good money to travel to Atl to see this game I would be pissed.

Which is why we always on do Fri and Sat games when do get to travel go Atlanta. Bobby did it and Gonzalez does the same.

[Braves1976]

Simmons gets an off day vs the pitcher he hits best (and Washington for that matter)? Are you kidding me?

Gosselin batting second, lol.

[Heyward]

Not surprised at all with the lineup.

Might of had one of Simmons, JUp, JHey in though.

[VirginiaBrave]

Hate to see them throwing this one away. Need to win series if best record is the goal.

[Perfect Cell]

With a 16 game lead or something to that extent expect these games to happen more than not

[Orphan Black]

I have no problem with this after the 15 inning game last night even with the off day tomorrow.

[cajunrevenge]

Still better than what the Astros and Marlins put out on an every day basis.

#Nats didn't get memor about this being split-squad game. Regular lineup for the visitors from D.C., sans Zimmerman

David O'Brien ‏@ajcbraves

#Braves Simmons is 5-for-14 w/ 2 HR vs. Gio Gonzalez, but only ATL player in today's lineup w/ HR off him is Freeman (3-for-16, 1 HR)

[cajunrevenge]

I think this might actually work in our favor. The energy level for players that played all 15 innings has to be pretty low right now. BJ and Gosselin at the top is what pisses me off.

[AerchAngel]

Who are they going to throw at today? Freddie? He would hug them to death.

One of our hitters will be beamed with Strasburg's epic failure yesterday to get the job done adequately.

[gtcway]

How's the rain looking? Any guess to the time of first pitch?

[Hawk]

Weather not looking too promising:

[Hawk]

Tarp is coming off, though...
