    You don’t think that’s an issue? You don’t think Markakis with an extra 100 points of OBP would have made a difference?

    Albies is not a very good hitter vs RHP, period. You think it’s wise to have a not very good hitter batting lead off?

    The correct answer is Markakis vs RHP and Albies vs LHP. It is not complicated.
    Reasoning is valid. But I still differ. You have your opinion. Cool.

    And no to Swanson in the two hole. Albies I get dropping but to put Swanson there is moronic.

    I really wish they didn't ask Albies to learn switch hitting. He's got so many holes left handed it's insane, while he would've been incredible if he learned righty only.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Donaldson finally gets an AB w/RISP and he hits a single. But Freddie can't score because of the short hop Jones had to play.

    Braves can't score even when they get a hit w/RISP.

    Now Winkler in to face bottom 3rd of Snakes line up.

    Gets Vargas on K swinging, Ahmed safe on E-4 throw, Escobar long FO 8, Kelly (PH for Greinke) pops out to Freddie with a lot of interference from Ozzie

    Ozzie is suckolla tonight. 2 Ks and a short FO 7 w/RISP, now the E-4.

    So Snits lineup changes to jump start the offence has thus far been another Snit failure. Braves 5 hits, 2 by Swanson,, 2 hits by Freddie and 1 by Donaldson. Other 6 slots are NIL.

    Acuna with monster shot, 466" with exit vel of 112 MPH to straight away CF.

    Guess we'll see Acuna in lead off slot for awhile to come.

    Swanson with another hit. I think he likes the 2 hole.
