    Braves vs. Phillies 5-10-16: Someone had to start it edition

    1. Markakis RF
    2. Inciarte CF
    3. Freeman 1B
    4. Flowers C
    5. Francoeur LF
    6. Beckham 3B
    7. D'Arnaud 2B
    8. Aybar SS
    9. Wisler P

    Why exactly is Markakis playing RF instead of Frenchy if he's not even going to attempt to make a throw home on a sac fly? He really needs to make the move to LF so we can play Mallex in CF and Inciarte in RF.

    Braves tie it on a sharp hit ball and nice play by Galvis to turn a DP on it. Inciarte good base running on Freeman's hit set that up. Plus Inciarte got a hit vs a lefty, tough for him facing so many lefties right off the DL as you know he's rusty anyway.

    He's a pretty good shortstop, similar to Castro for us.

    Once again I repeat, Markakis has an awful arm. He has no business playing RF for us.

    His arm use to be his strength helping his lack of range. But he has been in decline in that area too. We really ought to trade him and not Inciarte.

    The Phillies (pretty bad, not us bad though) offense just finds way to get it done. It's insane. Of course, wisler's pitchers that sequence were horrible.

    Two years ago in a much shallower RF in Camden Yards. You can't argue that his arm sucks. He's also pretty damn slow and doesn't cover a lot of ground. He makes the plays he's able to make but I think he's a LF at this point.

    If we get swept by the Phillies, you think Fredi will get fired?

    No. I think they're waiting till at least after this upcoming road trip.

    Inciarte is heads up and fun to watch folks, please FO don't trade him. He's a winner.

    I have a major man crush on Inciarte. Absolutely love the way he plays the game.

    Inciarte reminded me of Andrelton there. Just great baseball instincts when it comes to stealing outs.

    I think it's pretty clear that Inciarte needs to be playing CF with one or both of Mallex and Markakis traded to make room for a bat in a corner.

    Yep, that is why I was saying I'd love to have both on the same team. If we trade both same year I'm going to be so pissed.
