    Some of us have been saying for years that Ender is not good enough offensively to be a lead off hitter for a contending team. A lot of people endlessly argued with that assertion. Now that he’s struggling for 2 weeks, folks don’t want him in the lead off spot.

    Talk about coming to the correct conclusion based on a flawed thought process.

    Ender is a bottom of the order hitter for a contending team. Now that the Braves have sights in becoming a contender, Ender needs to be at the bottom of the order.

    Your major complaint? Genuinely curious.

    he was getting on base at a .350 clip the last two years and there weren’t other options. You can do much worse.

    He may well get back to those numbers in the next 148 games.

    If Albies is better that’s fine.

    My complaint is that he isn’t a good hitter. He is a barely average hitter getting the most PAs on the entire team.

    He was the best option on a bad team. That will no longer be the case very soon.

    First I say you are very intelligent and probably smarter than most of the Braves management.

    Secondly, you are complete immature douchebag when someone disagrees with you. Don't get into a fight with them. You are better than that.

    Lastly, why in the hell have you not put in your papers to be part of management. You have a clue they don't. Even though you never pitched in the majors, you are more knowledgeable than the one we have now.

    I’m not sure how asscrack and I were fighting in this discussion. He asked what I didn’t like about Ender leading off. I explained my take.
