    Snit doesn't know how to rest regs. Why is Markakis in against Duffy?? Rest is BS in Snit's head.

    Hope Freddie and Acuna enjoyed their day off. Get the AS game blues out of their systems.

    Doc Brown came back and said Ozzie has a Yuge day.

    Looks like Riley is the RHH platoon bat in the OF for the near future.

    Do we agree with that usage of a young slugger with clear holes in his game that need to be ironed out?

    Better players than Riley have been sent down for a AAA refresher course and I would suggest that wouldn't be a bad idea. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Braves shop for a RHH OF at the deadline.

    "The Braves want to give players – even Freddie Freeman – more rest in 2019. Rather than just relying on Culberson, Camargo gives them another with the same profile. It’ll help them withstand injuries over the lengthy season and gives them reliable plug-and-play options if someone is slumping and needs a break."

    Markakis signs...


    January 22, 2019

    "The Braves will look to cut back on Markakis' playing time after he tailed off badly in the second half of the season. He was batting .323 with 10 homers and 61 RBIs at the All-Star break, but hit just .258 with four homers and 32 RBIs over the final 68 games."



    Hmmmmmm...
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Agreed, but who's better than Duvall and his AAA OPS of 1.100 vs LHP and above average defense? Pence, if he can play any defense at all?

    What data is telling the FO Duvall suddenly can't hack it as a bench piece?

    I would have mentioned Duvall and I can't figure out why he is still laboring in AAA. It's puzzling that they acquired him last season and used him, but went with Joyce out of spring training and are content to let Duvall stay in Gwinnett. If there's ever a time that recalling him should be considered, it's now.

    I suppose this means Riley is about to run into 2 HRs vs Duffy tonight.

    Wouldn't this be a decent series to give every regular a rest giving them 3 out of 4 days off before big series with the Phillies and Nationals?

    You could start Camargo for Albies and Swanson once each
    Start Joyce for Markakis and Acuna once each
    Start McCann/Flowers once each
    You could even start Culberson for Freeman and Donaldson once each
    I didn't place Riley because he already seems to be in a platoon right now with Inciarte, but you could start them once each.

    .

    Apparently they just had a day off so more rest isnt needed. I mean why have faith in your bench guys when you can just run the same lineup out there every game. Plus thinking is what snit does really good.

    JD has reached base in 19 straight games. All those walks are absolutely killing the Braves.
